FAQs
What are the dimensions of the completed puzzle?
The product information typically specifies the diameter of the completed round puzzle. For this 1000-piece puzzle, it is usually around 26.5 inches (67.3 cm) in diameter.
Is this puzzle suitable for beginners?
Due to its 1000-piece count, round shape, and abstract artwork, this puzzle is recommended for intermediate to advanced puzzlers. Beginners might find it more challenging than standard rectangular puzzles.
What materials are used to make the puzzle?
The puzzle is made with thick, sturdy greyboard using 90% recycled paper. The packaging also uses 70% recycled paper and is printed with non-toxic inks.
How should I store the puzzle pieces?
The puzzle comes with a matte-finish storage box designed to keep the pieces safe. Store all pieces inside the box when you are not actively working on the puzzle.
Who is Mina Hamada?
Mina Hamada is an artist known for her vibrant, bold, and playful abstract and organic creations. Her distinctive style is a key feature of this puzzle's design.
Can I frame the completed puzzle?
Yes, the completed puzzle can be framed. Its unique round shape makes it a distinctive piece of wall art once assembled and glued.
What is the 'ribbon-cut' style?
Ribbon-cut refers to the way jigsaw puzzle pieces are cut, where the pieces often have interlocking tabs and blanks that resemble the shape of a ribbon. This style can sometimes make pieces of the same color or shape look very similar.
Troubleshooting
Missing Pieces
Double-check the storage box and surrounding area. If pieces are confirmed missing after thorough searching, contact the manufacturer's customer support for potential assistance. However, missing pieces are rare with quality-controlled puzzles.
Pieces don't fit snugly
Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the section. Ribbon-cut pieces can sometimes look similar. Examine the cut edges and the image details closely. Do not force pieces, as this can damage them.
Difficulty identifying edge pieces
The round shape means there isn't a traditional straight edge. Look for pieces with a distinct curved outer edge and focus on the colors and patterns that form the outer perimeter of the artwork. Sorting pieces by broad color groups can also help.
Artwork colors appear dull
Ensure the puzzle is placed in good lighting. Sometimes ambient light can affect color perception. The matte finish is designed to reduce glare, but optimal lighting is key to appreciating the artwork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by clearing a flat surface large enough to accommodate the completed round puzzle. Unpack the pieces from the storage box and sort them by color or pattern. The included artist insert can be helpful for reference. Due to the puzzle's round nature, identifying edge pieces might require more attention to the subtle curves and patterns rather than a distinct straight edge.
Compatibility: This puzzle is a standalone product and does not require any external compatibility with other devices or software. It is suitable for individuals and groups.
Care: To maintain the puzzle's condition, store pieces in the provided matte-finish box when not in use. Ensure the box is closed securely to prevent pieces from scattering. Avoid exposing the puzzle and box to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which could damage the print and materials. If the puzzle pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The materials used are designed for durability, but careful handling will prolong their lifespan.
