FAQs

What is a 'Contour puzzle'?

A contour puzzle is a jigsaw puzzle where the final assembled image follows the outline of the artwork rather than being a standard rectangle. This adds an extra layer of challenge to the assembly.

Do I need special tools to solve the escape room aspect?

No, all clues and solutions are integrated into the puzzle's artwork and the provided narrative. No additional tools or devices are required.

What is the recommended age for this puzzle?

The recommended minimum age is 12 years old. The complexity of the puzzle and its escape room elements are designed for teens and adults.

How long does it typically take to complete?

The completion time varies based on experience, but for most adult puzzlers, this 759-piece escape puzzle can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.

Can this puzzle be displayed after completion?

Yes, once completed, the contour design makes for a unique display piece. You may want to use puzzle glue (not included) for a more permanent display.

What makes Ravensburger puzzles high quality?

Ravensburger puzzles are known for their exclusively developed extra-thick cardboard, fine linen-structured paper for a glare-free image, and hand-crafted steel cutting tools that ensure a perfect interlocking fit with unique piece shapes.

Is this a competitive puzzle?

While it can be a fun group activity, it's not designed as a competitive race. The focus is on collaborative problem-solving and enjoying the mystery.

Troubleshooting

Missing Pieces

While rare with Ravensburger puzzles, if you suspect a piece is missing after completion, double-check the box and surrounding area. Ravensburger may offer assistance for specific cases; contact their customer support.

Difficulty Solving the Mystery

Re-examine the puzzle artwork closely for hidden symbols or text. Read the narrative provided with the puzzle again, looking for hints. If completely stuck, some online puzzle communities might offer spoiler-free hints or guidance, but try to solve it independently first for the full experience.

Pieces Not Fitting Well

Ensure you are using genuine Ravensburger pieces and that the puzzle is assembled on a flat surface. Incorrect assembly or attempting to force pieces can damage them. Ravensburger's precision cutting generally ensures a perfect fit.
