Wrebbit3D Notre-Dame de Paris 3D Puzzle | 830 Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces | Castles and Cathedrals Collection

I bought two of the Wrebbit puzzles as a Christmas gift for my pre-teen, who is fascinated by architecture right now. She wanted to do the Neuschwanstein Castle first, and we just wrapped up with the Taj Mahal. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of scrap foam in the box that needs to be weeded out as you are laying out the pieces. (We kept the scraps in the box, and sealed it with tape. Combing through the box later turned up two "missing" pieces.) I could have saved us a bit of time if I had simply read the directions before we started on the first puzzle. The directions are mostly in French though, as the puzzle is made in Quebec/Montreal. There is a handy diagram of all the puzzle pieces and how they fit together in the instructions. The puzzles take up a considerable amount of room, so for the second puzzle I made sure we started on a larger table. Give yourself plenty of time to complete these puzzles, especially if this is going to be used for a school project. The Neuschwanstein Castle took us about twice as long as the Taj Mahal to complete, but this could be largely due to having overcome the learning curve by the time we got to the second puzzle. With each puzzle, we found that we were missing one or two pieces. If you are missing any pieces, the instruction pamphlet gives an email and mailing address where you can request replacement pieces. This process worked quite well, and a few weeks later the missing pieces arrived in the mail. In our case, I attribute the missing pieces to our curious puppy. These puzzles really look nice when they are assembled. I am pretty impressed, and my daughter thinks they are fantastic. It is nice to do a puzzle and have something to show for your efforts later. We will definitely be getting more of the Wrebbit puzzles. I would caution parents not to expect a young child to complete these puzzles by themselves. They will challenge an adults patience and fortitude, but stick with it and you will be happy with the results.

Pretty much the most difficult puzzle I have ever done! Got into 3D puzzles, and was doing the little ones that only took a few hours. This one took much longer. But having gotten through it and now having it as a display piece, I can offer tips to make it easier. Sort, sort, sort. 1. Get all "scrap" pieces out. Go through "scrap" pieces again as 1 or 2 was probably missed. 2. Get approx. 10-15 bags and start separating pieces (greenery, crown molding, red brick, yellow brick, cobblestones). I sorted all the grey ones, then went through and sorted them again to more specific types. This will take some time. 3. Once sorted you can start piecing things together! Work one bag at a time. Use the map to figure out what shapes go where. The puzzle "clue map" has the individual shapes of what each "wall" looks like along with how the pieces are shaped exactly. I does not, however, show you what graphics are on each piece. I had to go from looking at the box pictures to the instructions back and forth to figure some things out. Bring a colored pencil with you when doing this so you can color in what you have put together BIG HELP! HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS. 4 Once you have put every thing together (pieces will all still be flat) LAY ON GROUND AS LAYOUT APPEARS IN ILLUSTRATIONS. Then simply follow directions of how to put together, laying them out on ground makes the directions easier to follow. 5. This puzzle gives you enough direction to get through, but you will need to possess critical thinking skills to "fill in the blanks". Was a good challenge, some times throughout it I thought it might have been a larger project than I can handle, but 2 weeks later (as I gave up several times for a day or two) it was finished and felt very accomplished. :)

Doing 3D puzzles is both challenging and rewarding. The Notre Dame puzzle is a good one. You first assemble most of the puzzles in 2 dimensions, then use their photo maps to assemble the whole puzzle. My wife and I have done many of them. Using this “map” was, at times, confusing, but we got it! ,

Great kit but if it's your first one I would start with an easier one this was definitely advanced, on mine I replace the 2D trees with some 3D ones from a model Railway kit and added some painted tin Soldiers and put it out my own flags that are nicer.

I liked this puzzle - for me, I found it a bit difficult and it took me a whole week to complete - granted I only spent a couple of hours at a time - but it was worth it. The finished puzzle is awesome - I displayed it for several months but in the end I did dismantle it - but it was lovely to look at. and it was a nice bit of a pastime to work on it.

I told my husband I wanted to do a puzzle. He grudgingly got out the Christmas themed puzzles we had sitting nearby. Then I went up and brought this down to surprise him. He was delighted! He's very into it! We spent the last two days watching movies and putting this together and we still have another two days to go probably. It's huge too! We've got boxes and trays of different parts all sorted and spread around the living room. It's such a glorious mess that it looks like Christmas has already happened. This was worth every penny. Really a great puzzle and loads of fun. It's well made. No corners cut. There seems to even be pieces that you assemble that end up INSIDE the structure that you don't see once it's finished... can't be sure since we're not done, but that would be some level of detail if it's true!

Great birthday gift

Have been recommending this puzzle to so many. It was my first 3D puzzle buy, and hasn't been my last. The quality was better than I expected, fantastic attention to detail and the colours are beautiful. The pieces stayed in shape throughout the whole process, without any peice breaking or deforming even during the trial and errors. It caught my attention so much I went into hyperfocus and finished it in 10 days, along with long nights awake putting it together 😅 Then I was sad when I finished it too quick because I wanted to keep building. The only thing that might frustrate some, is the process of separating the pieces from the off cuts at the beginning. There are a lot of them. Just remember to keep the offcuts until you're finished, just in case you've missed a piece. Also, perhaps invest in a supportive chair and neck massager if you're prone to hyperfocus like I am 😅 If you're sitting on the fence about it, I absolutely recommend you jump over and buy this puzzle 👌

Und leicht auf und abzubauen

Got it for my daughter and she loved it! It was the perfect balance of complexity- not so difficult that you'd want to give up while pulling your hair out in frustration, but challenging enough to keep you entertained for hours. And the final result is worth of displaying on a nice shelf.

Gute Qualität für eine 3D puzzle. Das wird sicher Spaß machen, im bauen und abbauen zerstören wieder bauen.

J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir a compléter ce puzzle 3d, il ne manque aucune pièce. Une fois terminé on peut apprécier la grande taille de celui-ci,vraiment contents de mon achat. Attention toutefois, si vous comptez offrir pour un enfant, le puzzle contient beaucoup de petits morceaux de pièce issue de la production du puzzle qui traîne dans la boîte, où sont encore accroché au pièces du puzzle.
