FAQs
What is the recommended age for this puzzle?

What are the dimensions of the completed puzzle?
While dimensions can vary by exact print batch, a standard 500-piece Mudpuppy puzzle typically measures approximately 20 x 20 inches.
Are the materials eco-friendly?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty finding where a specific piece belongs
Check the box cover image for fine details or try sorting remaining pieces by their specific edge shape.
Pieces seem to fit in the wrong spots
Gently disassemble the area and re-examine the image on the box; precision-cut puzzles usually have a unique 'lock' for every correct placement.
Missing a puzzle piece
Check underneath furniture or inside the folds of rugs, as pieces often slide off tables during assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your puzzle, find a stable, level surface that will remain undisturbed for the duration of your project. Start by flipping all pieces face-up and sorting them into categories: edge pieces, solid color sections, and detailed cat motifs. When handling the pieces, try to keep them clean and dry to ensure the cardboard layers do not delaminate. Once finished, store the pieces in a sealed plastic bag inside the original box to prevent moisture absorption and loss. If you wish to display your finished puzzle, use a dedicated puzzle glue to bond the pieces, followed by a light acrylic sealant to protect the artwork from fading.
