As we all stay home amid the coronavirus outbreak, we need to start getting more creative about how to keep ourselves entertained.

There are only so many TV shows we can binge-watch and books we can read, after all.

People across the UAE have been turning to board games and puzzles to fill the void.

Unsurprisingly, this means they're selling out fast online.

But there are still a few e-tailers you can turn to. While amazon.ae has the most comprehensive selection and great discounts, you can also find a few options on Virgin Megastore's website, noon.com and carrefouruae.com.

Specialist shop Back to Games is also still delivering stock via its Abu Dhabi branch, although wait times have increased and many of the store's puzzles have already sold out. There are still a few items left, however, if you get in there quick.

Each of these sites has a range of puzzles for both adults and children.

For puzzles to specifically keep the little ones entertained, you can also shop online at firstcry.ae, sprii.ae and toysrusmena.com.

Whizz.ae also has a decent selection, but many of the best options on this site are already sold out, with only a few more pieces still in stock.

For our pick of the best 14 jigsaw puzzles still available online to UAE customers, take a look through the photo gallery above.

If the specific puzzles eventually sell out, it's still worth checking the above shops from time to time, as they restock.
