How It All Started
"I grew up in Ashanti New Town — where culture was not something we studied, but something we lived every day."
— Louisa Akua Pokuaa Appiah, Founder
Growing up in Kumasi
Culture was something we lived
Years later, after relocating abroad, something began to feel different. I noticed how easily culture can fade — especially for children growing up far from home. I met young people who could no longer speak our local dialect or fully connect with the traditions that once felt so alive. It made me realise how fragile identity can become when families move across borders.
When Home Feels Far Away
Watching culture begin to fade
I grew up in Ashanti New Town, popularly known as Ash-Town, a proud neighbourhood in Kumasi — the heart of the Ashanti Region — where culture was not something we studied, but something we lived every day. From family gatherings filled with laughter and storytelling to the rhythms of traditional celebrations, heritage was woven into every part of community life.
The turning point
A puzzle in Martha's Vineyard
The turning point came unexpectedly during a visit to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. One evening, while visiting the Fisher family, a puzzle was brought out that beautifully illustrated the local town. As we sat together assembling the pieces, I watched how it did more than entertain.
It told a story.
It sparked conversation.
It created connection.
It wasn't just a game.
In that moment, an idea was born. If a puzzle could capture the spirit of a small island, we could do the same for Ghana.
The brand is born
Discover Ghana Puzzles
Discover Ghana Puzzles was born from that realisation — to celebrate our culture, educate future generations, and reconnect families both at home and across the diaspora. Each puzzle is more than a game. It is a bridge to heritage. A reminder of where we come from. A way to ensure our stories continue to live on — piece by piece, generation after generation.
