The Dungeon Crawler Carl series has blown up this year in many ways, but it’s the incredibly fast expansion into merchandise has been truly impressive for the franchise. There are T-shirts, graphic novels, action figures, tabletop games, and even a halloween costume available to buy already, but now you can add jigsaw puzzles to that list.
Spotted on Reddit yesterday, there is a new 500-piece DCC puzzle now available at Barnes & Noble Stores. It’s called “Meet the Crawlers” and features a full cast of familiar characters from the books, including Carl and Donut.
Surprisingly, this isn’t even the first official Dungeon Crawler Carl jigsaw puzzle. There’s a 250-piece that was spotted at Barnes & Noble about eight months ago from the same brand, Kingdom of Threads. So if you’ve been wanting to combine your love of puzzling with your love of Dungeon Crawler Carl, you’ve apparently got options now.
With the popularity of the upcoming tabletop adaptations from Renegade studios, it’s not surprising to see Matt Dinniman’s LitRPG story getting the puzzle treatment. Kingdom of Threads may not be one of the most popular puzzle brands out there, but they have already been partnering with other major book fandoms like ACOTAR and Fourth Wing for some time.
As of right now, there are only three Dungeon Crawler Carl puzzles available to buy. The 500-piece puzzle is the highest piece-count available, though, so you’ll have to wait for more options if you’re looking for a challenge. The “Meet the Crawlers” puzzle features custom art by Levi Cleeman and makes for a great poster once you’ve pieced the whole thing together.
More Tabletop Options
If you’re in the market for something more exciting than a jigsaw puzzle, there are multiple tabletop adaptations you can currently preorder. There’s the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG and the Dungeon Crawler Carl Unstoppable Board Game, both of which are releasing on December 1.
