Troubleshooting
Missing pieces
While rare with Ravensburger puzzles, double-check the box and surrounding area. If a piece is definitively missing, contact Ravensburger customer support, as they sometimes offer assistance.
Pieces don't fit snugly
Ensure you are using pieces from the correct section of the puzzle and that they are oriented correctly. Check that the puzzle surface is completely flat.
Difficulty seeing details due to lighting
Utilize the puzzle's natural linen embossing, which minimizes glare. Consider using a puzzle lamp or adjusting your room's lighting to a more neutral, consistent level.
Puzzle pieces are bent or damaged

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin, clear a large, flat surface where the puzzle can remain undisturbed for the duration of its assembly. This could be a table, a dedicated puzzle board, or even a large piece of sturdy cardboard. Sort the pieces by colour or pattern, and construct the edge pieces first to form the frame.
Compatibility: This jigsaw puzzle is designed for one player or more and is suitable for adults and children aged 14 years and above. It is intended for indoor use only.
Care: Handle pieces with care to avoid bending. Once the puzzle is completed, you can preserve it by applying a puzzle glue and mounting it onto a backing board. For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this could damage the cardboard.
