A puzzle holding device for selectively restricting orientational movement of three-dimensional puzzles includes a base. A first arm is coupled to the base. A second arm is coupled to the base. The second arm is aligned with the first arm across the base. A tube is coupled to the first arm and the second arm wherein the tube is suspended over the base between the first arm and the second arm. The tube is pivotably coupled to the first arm and the second arm wherein the tube is pivotable along an axis extending between a front edge and a rear edge of the base. A holder is coupled to the tube. The holder is configured to couple a three-dimensional puzzle to the tube.
