FAQs

What are the dimensions of the finished puzzle?

The finished puzzle typically measures approximately 27 x 19 inches (or 68 x 49 cm). This information can usually be found on the product packaging.

Is this puzzle suitable for framing?

Yes, once completed, this puzzle can be preserved with puzzle glue and framed. The intricate artwork makes it a beautiful piece for display. Ensure you use a suitable frame size for the finished dimensions.

What is the recommended age for this puzzle?

Due to its 1000-piece count and detailed artwork, this puzzle is generally recommended for ages 12 and up. Younger puzzlers may find it challenging without adult supervision or assistance.

How do I clean the puzzle pieces?

To clean the puzzle pieces, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the cardboard material and the printed image.

Can I get replacement pieces if some are lost or damaged?

Policies for replacement pieces vary by manufacturer. It's best to contact Orion Publishing Co's customer service directly with details of your purchase and the specific issue. Keep your proof of purchase handy.

Troubleshooting

A piece seems to be missing.

Thoroughly check the box, under the table, and around your sorting area. Sometimes pieces stick to clothing or fall unnoticed. If after extensive searching a piece is genuinely missing, contact the manufacturer's customer service with proof of purchase and puzzle details. Info needed: Manufacturer's contact policy for missing pieces.

Pieces don't seem to fit or are damaged.

Ensure you are using the correct piece; some shapes can be very similar. If a piece is clearly damaged (bent, torn, or peeling), contact the manufacturer for potential replacement. Orion Publishing Co typically maintains quality standards.

The puzzle is too difficult to complete.

Don't give up! Try reorganizing your sorting strategy. Focus on smaller, distinct sections first, like unique buildings or highly contrasting colors. Taking a break and returning with fresh eyes can also make a significant difference. Consider working on it with a friend or family member.
