Troubleshooting
Pieces feel too stiff to move.
Ensure your hands are clean and dry. Gently try the known correct sequence of moves. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dust. If stiffness persists, contact the manufacturer for advice.
Puzzle won't disassemble after many attempts.
Review the design and ensure you are not forcing any movements. Double-check that you are using the correct recommended age range; very young children may struggle with the required dexterity. Try starting over by reassembling it and approaching the solution from a different angle.
A piece seems slightly bent or damaged.
Do not force the piece. Examine the damage closely. If it is minor, you may be able to gently realign it. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer or retailer for potential replacement options.
