This 1000-piece puzzle is generally recommended for ages higher, typically 12 and up, due to its complexity. Adult supervision is advised for younger teens.

Troubleshooting

Missing Pieces

While rare, if pieces appear to be missing, carefully re-examine the packaging and the puzzle area. Sometimes pieces can get stuck together or fall into unexpected places. If confirmed missing, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Difficulty fitting pieces

Ensure you are using pieces from the correct section of the puzzle. Check that the pieces are oriented correctly and are not forced. Precision-cut pieces should fit snugly without excessive pressure.

Glare from foil elements

Try adjusting the lighting in your puzzling area. Diffused or indirect lighting can help minimize glare from foil accents. Positioning the puzzle away from direct light sources is recommended.

Puzzle pieces are warped or bent

This can sometimes occur due to environmental factors like humidity. Ensure the puzzle is kept in a stable environment. If pieces are significantly damaged, contact the manufacturer.
