Do you like Puzzles?  If you do, then you got to see the Puzzle Mansion in Tagaytay.  The Guinness Book of Records has recently awarded Georgina Gil-Lacuna for having the "largest collection of jigsaw puzzles" in the World. The puzzles are on display at that used to be hidden Puzzle Mansion.

This feat is something we should all be proud of. Definitely another great reason to travel back to Tagaytay. To be included in the Guinness is a great honor and requires a lot of effort and expenses. Yes, you read it right - expenses.

Ms. Lacuna explaining the different kinds of puzzles. At the lower left, her first puzzle and the latest one she intends to create (lower right).


The Puzzle Mansion is just less than ten (10) minutes drive from the Tagaytay Haven Hotel where we stayed overnight. There are abundant signs showing the way to this unique mansion.  The drive to Puzzle Mansion gave us a glimpse of that “inner Tagaytay” of rolling hills and beautiful pineapple plantations.

It is said that this puzzle started it all. This puzzle about famous Disney characters has inspired Ms. Lacuna from solving puzzles on her way to the Guinness.















The mansion’s blue roof caught our attention. As we rolled down nearer to the mansion, the color blue, its dominant theme, blended perfectly with the green and lush surroundings. The outside swimming pool has reflected that color adding to the relaxing ambiance of the property.


We can already sense that the P100.00 entrance fee is worth it. As we entered the mansion, a diverse and a thousand collection of puzzles greeted us. This place is an amazing find and offers a different experience in Tagaytay.  Where else in the country (or in the World) can you find such a place? Puzzles are everywhere!  This place is a haven for those who love different kinds of puzzles.

This unique and Guinness certified mansion is very educational. The puzzles are microcosms of various topics and subjects.  Various puzzles are replicas of famous and priceless paintings of the World.  It is like seeing the original piece. Here you can appreciate the paintings of Picasso, Monet, Da Vinci, Van Gogh and Botticelli among others. You would definitely learn a lot about arts and culture by just visiting Puzzle Mansion.

By the way, this mansion also offers bed and breakfast.
