Deluxe Jigsaw Puzzles: Trevi Fountain (500 piece)




What is better than a puzzle? TEN puzzles!! And my dear friends, that is exactly what you get in this box. The first puzzle completed was a 500 piece picture of Trevi Fountain. Standardised shape pieces and known landmark meant this puzzle was completed fairly quickly.

Time: 2 hours, 55 minutes






Likes: Fit of the well-made pieces.


Dislikes: Only 500 pieces.

Puzzle 1: Mystery Wasgij 6 (1000 pieces)


I like Mystery Wasgijs. They are quirky, fun and more challenging than the run-of-the-mill jigsaw puzzles. For those who do not know, 'the picture on the box is not the picture in the puzzle. It is just a clue.'

Time: 8 hours, 13 minutes




Likes: 
  • Unpredictable and unknown picture (more challenging compared to standard 'famous building/location' puzzles)
  • Variation in the puzzle shapes. 
Dislikes:
  • Quality of pieces and how they fitted together

Rules for Extreme Jigsaw Puzzling

The rules are simple:


  1. Do not look or refer to picture on box
  2. Complete the frame (edge pieces) last
  3. Have fun!
