Troubleshooting

Missing a puzzle piece

Thoroughly check the entire assembly area, under furniture, and inside the box. If still missing after exhausting all efforts, contact the manufacturer's customer service for assistance, providing proof of purchase.

Difficulty starting the puzzle

Begin by finding all edge pieces and assembling the border. Then, sort the remaining pieces by color, pattern, or distinctive elements (like specific characters or houses) to tackle smaller, more manageable sections.

Puzzle pieces don't fit snugly

Ensure you are using a completely flat surface. Some pieces may appear similar, so double-check the image and piece shape. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can damage them.

Puzzle is curling or not lying flat

This can sometimes occur due to humidity or storage. Try placing the puzzle on a very flat, dry surface and gently pressing it down. For finished puzzles, framing can help keep it flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Choose a Flat Surface: Select a clean, flat, and sufficiently large surface for assembly. A puzzle mat, large board, or dedicated table is ideal.
  2. Unpack & Sort: Carefully open the box and empty the pieces. It's recommended to sort the pieces, typically starting with edge pieces to form the border, and then sorting by color or distinct patterns.
  3. Organize: Use small trays or the box lid to separate sorted pieces, making them easier to access during assembly.

Compatibility

Care

  • Handle Gently: Always handle puzzle pieces gently to prevent bending, tearing, or damage to the artwork.
  • Storage: When not actively working on the puzzle, keep pieces contained to prevent loss. The original box is suitable for long-term storage of disassembled pieces.
  • Cleaning: If pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the cardboard.
  • Preservation (Optional): Once completed, you can permanently preserve your puzzle by applying a specialized puzzle glue to the surface and backing, then framing it as artwork.
