The complete guide
A quick guide to this 1000 piece puzzle
Buying a 1000 piece puzzle is a bit of a commitment, so here is what this one is actually like.
What is in the box
This is a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a world architecture picture. The pieces are made from high quality paper materials, 100% recycled cardboard, and each one is cut so it locks into its neighbours without a fight.
A high definition poster comes with it, so you always have the full picture beside you to check against. Finished, the puzzle measures 70 x 50 cm, or 27.56 by 19.69 inches.
Who it is for
The age rating is 14 years and up, so this is a puzzle for teenagers and adults rather than small children. It is sold as an educational and challenging puzzle.
The picture suits anyone who likes travel and buildings. That also makes it an easy birthday gift for someone who already has a puzzle habit.
The letter zones on the back
This is the part that separates it from a plain 1000 piece box. The back of the puzzle is split into several areas, each marked with a letter from A to F.
If you get stuck, flip a handful of pieces over and sort them by letter, then work one zone at a time. The poster does the same job from the front. Between the two, a hard section stops being a wall you cannot get past.
Colour, finish and hanging it up
The print is crisp and clear with plenty of colour and patterns worth looking at. There are no large blocks of a single shade, which matters more than it sounds. Big flat areas of one colour are where most puzzles turn into pure guesswork.
When you are done, you can put it on the wall. Use puzzle glue on the front and stick the puzzle to cardboard, or lay it on a 1000 piece puzzle board and hang that wherever you like.
