There are a lot of games available, there's someone who can teach you how to play the games you choose. Very great and playful looking interior design, limited seats though so you better be there early. Food is okay, but a little expensive.

A little on the pricey side considering the small servings but good nonetheless. My all time favorite finger food here is the Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Puzzles Nachos and my go-to is the Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

Went here for Puzzle's 3rd anniversary with my partner's friends. The place is aesthetically pleasing and clean. The servers were attentive and nice. We had fun playing their board and card games.

Staff was very accomodating and helpful!
Food is a bit pricey that does not justify the taste.
A very fun place to hang out.
Hope they can make it bigger for more space.

Perfect place to play & eat with your friends. Make sure that if you are planning to go here bring all your friends(the more the merrier) and make the most out of it.There are lots of board and card games here as in a lot. But the problem here is how are you going to play those, if you're not familiar with it & how to play it 😂

Their foods are good. But i prefer their milkshakes & dessert.

This is the place if you're planning to kill time with board games and puzzles with your date and just wanna have fun. A cafe which allows you to play all the games they have all day for just 100/pax or just spend 150/pax from their menu. And we didnt even realized that it was already late when we went out because we enjoyed the games. This is place is for all ages.

You'd come here for the games, the ambiance, and the suitability for larger-sized groups, but not really for the food.

There were really a lot of board and card games to choose from, and the restaurant setup really suits its theme. The food menu is kinda pricey, and the play fee is paid separately.

The place is really awesome if you are there for their board games. They have an extensive collection and their staff is attentive. They will teach you a game if you don't know how to play.

I just wish they improve their food. They are a little pricey and yet bland. Their drinks are good though - milo godzilla for the win. I suggest you stick to their drinks.

I've been here last week for the forst time and I must say, they serve good food! We ordered for their best seller pesto pasta and it lived up to our expectations. The flavor was good as well as the amount of serving. Food was served hot. The crew were accomodating. Definitely will be coming back.

I just went here last month and I had a great time with my friends. The concept is very smart because not only do we have an awesome time bonding with our friends, but it's also a good way to reminisce our childhood memories. There are a lot of board games that you have so much to choose on and you'll definitely learn a lot from it. The food though, is pricey and average servings. So I'll definitely suggest that you bring extra money if you're planning to eat here. :)

IT WAS FUN. You could tell by their stash of boardgames that this place means business. Lots of choices, it was so easy to be overwhelmed! The place was being managed by the owner and his neice when we were here and they helped in picking out which games we could try first. Running fave as a first game would always be Ugly Doll. It's a match-three card game where you call dibs by pouncing on a card and shouting "ugly!" (or any derivative of it-- even a friend's name for fun). We went mostly for the desserts since we already ate prior. No alcohol on the menu so it's a good place to for the young at heart as well. I managed to bring my uncle and aunt here one time and they appreciated the place too. (And if by the end of the night, you're still craving for alcohol, there's a bar right across the street.) Honestly, I enjoy going here for the games and the snazzy decor. An expansion of their menu would be great.

Food trip and it was planned. Im with my partner and we are seated at the bean bag on the carpeted floor. Food option were limited to snacks and sandwiches and fries
But the amazing part here is you will spend more time here than any other place, you are allowed to play all the games here, if you don't know a game just ask them and they will teach you,all the board games and other game you wanted to play when you were a kid, its here. The ambiance is ok. The services is good
Going back here--- if bored and wants to have a fun time

If you're looking in playing board games with some cool and chilly drinks, I really recommend Puzzles. A nice and comfy place. Drinks are worth its price. Waiters are generous and easy to interact with.

There are plenty of card games but some of them were already teared and damaged, you can still play with them. I would suggest if they could have more chairs because during weekends, there a lots of people and the seats are fully occupied so you have to wait.

My friends and I went here yesterday. The interior of the place looks really nice. It was colorful, spacious, and felt homey. There were a lot of games, both card and board games, available for the customer's pleasure. What surpised me was how expensive their food and drinks were. A milkshake for 210 pesos? Too expensive. It would be understandable to have those prices if they didn't charge 100pesos for each player. Oh well, we still enjoyed the place and the games.

Love the concept. Cozy interiors and great for families and barkadas! This branch is almost always full though, so it took time before we were finally able to try it out. 

They have limited edition games, which is cool. 
You're sure to have fun in this place. 

Ordered drinks during our stay and was surprised by how much a milkshake costs...over 200 :( it was too much. But I guess you're more on paying for the experience of the entire place, so the fun actually outweighs the "cost" haha.

If you have a group of friends and you guys are finding somewhere to chill, this is the place for you. Puzzles offer a wide variety of fun board games you never even knew existed (or maybe you did). If you plan on staying, 2 hours is not enough. Time will pass by you like nothing just like your crush. With the P100 entrance fee, might as well make the most out of it. Them offering food is a plus, but it also belongs on the pricey side. You'd say, "If it's expensive, it's good, right?" NO SISTER. It's not worth it. Trust me. I suggest you eat a meal somewhere else before or after Puzzles. 
 
In summary, board games YAAAAASSSSS; food just no.

Great concept for a cafe! Though I didn't enjoy it that much coz I'm alone when I dined in (forever alone...) But great place to hang out with your friends and play a wide assortment of games. Food selection is wide and tastes good though a bit pricey. But definitely I'll be back here with my friends (if found. Hehe.)

You come here to play board games. I guess the food is a plus? The overall experience is what's important. You don't go here if you're famished. It's more of a chill place for barkadas. 

Would definitely comeback.

A good place to hang out with friends and family all day long. Unlimited fix of games and activities for a hundred bucks per person is really affordable. The owner/s are usually there to give tips on which game/s would suit your group. Food and drinks are also available at a minimal price. Try out their fried oreos and their own version of mojos. FTW!

I love this lounge. Teen and teen at heart friendly place. If you didnt know how to play the game just approach Big Bro (i dont know his name) he is so approachable and friendly. It' s all worth it to be here. If happened that the place is crowded. Just reserved a seat so they will contact you right after. The food and beverage are ok for us coz' we're too focus on game haha

There are lots of games! It's a fun place to hang out with friends. The staff are great too! Very approachable. They can teach you how to play a game. One of them even hung out with us and helped us score for a game! Although, the drinks are a bit too pricey (but yummy!) especially since you have to still have to pay the fee to play (100 pesos)

This place is my stress reliever. The games they have takes you away from holding your phone/gadget for a while and learn how to play board games. Plus their mojos and sauce is delish!!

This place is a lot of fun for playing games, whether with friends or with your kids. Their fries and paninis are decent but they don't offer much value for the price. If you're coming here to hangout I'd suggest eating somewhere else either before or after. Last time I was here with my husband weer went to this Swiss Deli just dish the road for dinner after some games and had a nice and affordable meal. Side note: Puzzles has imported beers, which is nice if you don't fancy San Miguel.

It was our last stop for our food adventure and the place was very nice! Perfect for friends who wants to chill and to have a good time playing their board games. We only tried their iced tea which has two flavors: Lemon and Raspberry and it tastes great. They have a variety of board games and I recommend the Halli Galli. A very fun game to play!

I would love to return with some kids in tow
And let them sit in one long row
To fuss with puzzles and boardgames and such
And to let them eat so much

This place is a rainbow classroom of joy
A happy place for every girl or boy
I recommend it to all those who have
A child's heart, and for games some love

For kids and kids at heart. Wide variety of board games and they sell new ones too. Nice place to chill and bond although it can get noisy at times (from all the excitement) for just 100 pesos per person. Food was a little expensive. But overall, we really had fun and we'll definitely visit puzzles again!

If you are a board game gaga, Puzzles is the place to be. Bring your friends and family and enjoy their wide variety of board games. You only need to pay one hundred per player and stay there for as long as you want. However, the food is really costly and the vicinity is too small. We had to wait for us to be seated. But overall, very nice place to bond with friends and exercise your brain cells. 😄

Some board games we played: The Resistance, Cards Against Humanity, Coup, Tsuro and Get Bit. 😊

Great for barkada bondings!!! They have tons of games to play!!! One of my favorites is the dix it! You just have to pay 100pesos for the playing fee, then you can play anything you want and as long as you want! Although I suggest that you go somewhere else first if you are hungry I'm actually not a fan of their menu. ✌🏼️

Whenever my friends and I hang out at night after dinner until early morning, this is where we go. Puzzles offers a stay and play for only 100 pesos and that’s already for the whole day. The ambiance is really nice and the staff is really friendly especially if you don’t understand a certain board game. The food in puzzles is really good but I think their drinks are too expensive. Still though, great restaurant.

Went here one afternoon with some of my friends. And it was all our first time to try this place and we're not disappointed with our experience. We enjoyed playing their different board games with our 100 pesos only and it's unlimited already! We had fun playing the Saving Humanity! And I can't wait to go here again with my friends or family!

They also have affordable finger foods. So, you'll not be hungry while playing the board games.

Cozy place with quirky and cute decor! Stopped here one afternoon to just hang out with friends. For a fee of P100/head you can stay as long as you like and play any of their board games.

Of course, we couldn't resist ordering some food especially because of the delicious waft of coffee and something fried coming from the kitchen.

We had the grilled chicken pesto panini, the (amusingly named) friends fries and white choco peanut butter cookie. The panini had cheese literally oozing out of it, the chicken was moist and there was just enough pesto. Yum! Cookie was a bit too dry and crunchy for me, but maybe that's because I personally prefer chewy cookies. Flavor-wise though, it was good. :)

Good place to kill time with friends and share some laughs over some snacks and board games!

About two months ago, and after having dinner along Aguirre Ave in BF Paranaque, one of our friends suggested we try Puzzles Board Game Lounge. Playing board games while snacking and chatting with friends, why not?

It was late Saturday evening and Puzzles was really crowded (although the place is quite small to begin with). I wanted to sit on a really cute table on the floor with bean bags but it was already taken. Luckily, a table became vacant.

You have two options here: “stay + play” or “eat + drink”. For “stay + play”, you have to pay a gaming fee of PhP 100 per person for unlimited board games (yes! stay all you want, play all you want!). But if you just come here to “eat + drink”, then that gaming fee is waived and you just have to pay for your orders.

It’s been ages since I’ve last played a board game and I got really excited to see their almost 200 board games on the shelves (board game heaven!). There are old favorites like Monopoly and Jenga. There are are also plenty of new ones that I’m not familiar with like Cards Against Humanity, Cash and Guns and The King of Tokyo.

Our friend chose Pandemic. Well, she’s the only one familiar with the game, but it was easy to learn.

While playing we ordered Mojo-Jojo’s Mojos, Oreo Afraid of the Dark, Callebaut Cold Brew and Strawberry Milkshake. The mojos has the right texture and has a flavourful dip. The Oreos were fried with vanilla ice cream (this one’s a winner!). The Callebaut was good while the milkshake was creamy and too sweet. I find their menu a bit pricey because of the small servings.

And it was so much fun that we didn’t notice that we spent almost three hours playing Pandemic! If it wasn’t already past midnight, we would have tried the other games. Before we left, we were able to chat with one of the owners and some of the game coaches. They are really friendly and you could ask for their assistance for the games that you are not familiar with. They even shared that sometimes Puzzles hold special gaming events or sometimes groups would compete with each other, especially on games that require a large number of participants. How cool is that?!

My friends and I loved the experience— and we’re raring to go back!

This is a great place to hang out with your family and friends. You could stay here the whole day and beat the intense boredom at home! Sulit yung 100 pesos fee for unlimited games for your whole stay :) And if ever you get hungry and thirsty, there's also a variety of food and drinks in the menu that also has affordable prices. I've tried the iced tea and fries and both were good! And besides you won't even feel that hungry when you and your companions start playing the games :))

The game coaches were really nice and approachable as well. On of the coaches who assisted us was very patient enough to teach us the mechanics of the games we played (i.e. Game of Life, Gloom, and Pandemic).

If you like games that make you use your imagination and strategic skills, I recommend you to play Pandemic! Super fun and thrilling!! :D

One of the things that I like about the concept of Puzzles is that it makes you take a break from the gadget world, and makes bonding with friends or family more fun and meaningful, instead of just hanging around together, sitting and tinkering with our phones and tablets.

I hope it expands it's place to accommodate more customers!!

Saving Humanity (Pandemic) and Betraying friends (Avalon) has never been this fun in this cool and hip place in BF. The Sur-fries was really surprising with its yummy dip and the chocolate milkshake was the bomb! Going to this place really brings back childhood memories, where playing boardgames during power interruption was good old fun!

Well, I like the games here more because it's simpler compared to other board games places. Plus they have a lot of games to choose from. I tried their chocolate drink and red velvet cupcake for my first visit and it was good. On my second visit tho, there was a fee already if you would play a game which I think is okay but 100 is too much I guess? I recommend they lower it down. I also tried their fried oreos and I liked it. :)

This is where we spend mother's day with my family after eating at a seafood restaurant. We enjoy the games provided and the staff are so patient and friendly in teaching us some of the games that we are not familiar with.

This place is a must-go if you wanna spend time with friends or just kill time. P100/person for unlimited playing of any board game all day IS reasonable. The only thing is, their food and drinks are kinda pricey. We tried the oreo milkshake and no doubt, it was good. But still, I think it's a bit over-priced. Also, the place is kinda small. A lot of people want to go here and sometimes they just find another place to go to 'cause all the tables are full.

My sister together with my boyfriend and a friend went here. Most of the games we played were new to us. But despite that, the coach was very accomodating.

My sibling and I love playing boardgames at home. But what I really like about Puzzles; they have these games I never thought of buying. Well, if you want to play all kinds of boardgames without the hassle of buying the game instead. Bad side: Food is kinda expensive. Good thing they offer stay&play P100, no need to order food, just play.

When was the last time you played a board game with your friends? Today, it's rare that you see kids play these games and all you see are kids playing on their mobile phones and tablets/ipads. Rekindle your childhood memories, those days when you just sit back and just play a simple Snakes and Ladders with your friends.

Puzzles - BF Aguirre. We went here the day after Vday just to spend our usual Sunday bonding with my fellow blogger friends. We first played my all-time favorite board game MONOPOLY. Yes! and this time it's electronic via ATM. When my childhood friends used to play this, we used play-money but now it's really modern, we use an ATM card, how cool is that? :)

I will definitely buy my own MONOPOLY. And I will teach my Chichi to play this game, as soon as she turned 7, lol.

An array full of board games. Loads of games to choose.

Second board game we played is HEDBANZ, this is the English version of PINOY HENYO. We definitely enjoyed all these 2 board games. And will surely come back here. Very Soon! 

*If you want to play, pay 100 pesos for each player. Play all you want for 100php.

If you want to play board games all day long for just a hundred, then you should definitely visit this place. They usually open at 3pm and closes at 2am so you don't have to worry about not getting to play your favorite board game. You could play and eat or you could just play. 

There's a separate payment for playing, they said it's for maintenance of the board games. I mean I am willing to pay a hundred for enjoying HUNDREDS of board games. Your money will definitely be worth it. 

They also serve food but it's kinda pricey. 

Overall, our experience was definitely fun and we would totally come back!

This is probably one of the chillest and most fun places I've been to, especially in Aguirre. The owners (I assumed they were the three guys who consistently accomodates every single guest) were very hands on and were very friendly. And obvi, they're one helluva board game enthusiasts! If you don't know the mechanics of the board game you'd like to play, they'd gladly teach you how. What a charmer this place is. Two thumbs up!

PS their oreo milkshake is da bomb!!!!
