Are you bored out of your mind? Has the pandemic sucked out all your energy? Do you want to start with something that makes you feel excited and lets the creative juices flow once again?

Being in lockdown for almost five months now has got all of us feeling a certain way. At the start, it was easy to track your boredom patterns. You could pick up a new hobby or just resume with an old hobby that you had forgotten about.

However, there are not enough hobbies that we can indulge in since that also tends to get boring over time. Our brain becomes accustomed to these things, and they no longer seem exciting. We simply don't anticipate such activities.

Therefore, to make your pandemic boredom vanish, we have something else for you to try! Start off by trying puzzles, which may serve as the much-needed brainteasers for you and your family to fight off the pandemic boredom.

It doesn't matter if your family has five members, or you just have your partner with you, and there are many puzzles for you to pick from. Read ahead to find out more about the different puzzles that you can try and how exactly do they help your brain in overcoming boredom.

Puzzles and pieces come in many more shapes and sizes these days than the jigsaw puzzles your parents put together. There are many types of textures and shapes that amplify the puzzling experience. Try your hand at mind-bending fractal puzzles or splurge on a premium heirloom-quality puzzle, puzzles with irregular geometric shapes, or wood frame puzzles. Alternately, puzzle games like Chroma Cube provide many different experiences using the same puzzle board.

It's easy to let your brain stagnate during lockdown times and get caught in an endless cycle of "doom-scrolling." Put down your phone for awhile and juice your brain-health instead.
