How many Jan van Haasteren Puzzles are there?
How many Jan van Haasteren puzzles are there? The answer depends on how you count. If you count all the puzzle boxes ever released under the name Jan van Haasteren, there are 952 (status: March 21, 2026). If you only count the unique drawings by a draftsman of the Jan van Haasteren studio are made, you end up with 305 various drawingsBelow, we explain the difference exactly and show all the numbers.
Numbers at a glance:
| What you count | Number (March 21, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Total number of puzzle boxes | 952 |
| - Of which individual puzzle boxes (one puzzle per box) | - 886 |
| - Of which combination boxes (2-in-1, 3-in-1 etc.) | - 66 |
| Unique drawings (all artists) | 305 |
| Unique drawings by Jan van Haasteren himself | 201 |
Why are there two counts?
It seems like a simple question, but there are two things that make it more complicated.
– First of all, several illustrators work within the Jan van Haasteren Studio. Jan van Haasteren draws himself, but Rob Derks, Dick Heins, Wilma van Den Bosch, and Mars Gremmen also create puzzles for the studio. Marco Eisinga used to do that as well – and since January 2026, he has been doing that againAll those puzzles appear under the name Jan van Haasteren, but they are not all drawn by Jan van Haasteren himself.
– Secondly, the same drawing sometimes appears in multiple boxes. A drawing can be released as a standalone 1000-piece puzzle, but also in a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 combination box. That drawing has only been made once, but counts towards multiple boxes. Depending on how you count, you get a different number.
