Bgraamiens Puzzle-Retro Art Squares-1000 Pieces Creative Colorful Squares Hard Puzzle Color Challenge Jigsaw Puzzle

A fun and challenging puzzle! Its almost like there’s a variable difficulty to this one. The back has letters printed in a grid that zones out 8 sections. So to make things a bit easier you can sort out the zones and focus on the edges and where the zones transition, then fill in one zone at a time using piles that are just 1/8th of the total. Or you can go hard mode… Satisfied and satisfying!

This puzzle was very challenging. It took me exactly three weeks to finish. After getting the border finished I still didnt know where to begin. After a couple tries I decided to build the centers of the squares. After getting most of the centers done, I used the poster to place them in the proper placement. With these little square centers in place it was easier to finish. As time went on I had to rearrange the squares several times because of similarities. Without the included poster it would have been almost impossible to build. Ive just ordered another one of their puzzles that even looks to be more difficult!

This has been the most challenging puzzle we worked with so far. It was fun and kept us at it for 3-4 days. Loved it.

Great puzzle, but was missing 4 pieces when finished

I cannot wait to do this puzzle! It reminds me of Victor Vasarelys art work, which I love.

My puzzle was missing 37 pieces from one side of the puzzle. Very disappointing.

I have been looking for a puzzle that would keep me busy for awhile and this did it. There is a guide on the back of each piece (but I refused to use it). There were a few pieces that seemed like they could fit in a couple different places; but in then end, I was able to find all the right spots. The finished product was really pretty! Time for the next puzzle!

What a great challenge! I did it without looking at the box. The patterns are all different in color. I very much enjoyed doing this puzzle

Very giftable! Very challenging but rewarding to put together. Includes printed letters on the back side to help you.

One hundred and fifty squares and all of them unique. What a great idea for a puzzle! All of Bgraamienss puzzles challenging and the Retro Art Squares is certainly no exception. I actually got to solve this puzzle twice. About two-thirds of the way through, I discovered that one of the six letter-identified sections was missing about forty pieces! This in a factory sealed puzzle! I wrote e-mails to Bgraamiens several times asking for a new one, but they never replied. When requested, Amazon promptly sent a replacement. Not a single piece is missing from the new copy! But, it is still most disappointing. The pieces fit so loosely that they dont naturally align with their neighbors. It takes extra care to keep the pieces snug in both horizontal and vertical directions. The cardboard backing of the puzzle must be rather soft, as the piece edges have a decided depression. This gives the completed puzzle something of a washboard effect. At first glance, assembling a puzzle consisting of so many similar shapes would seem very daunting. I did cheat by sorting by the letters stamped on the back of the puzzle. Within each of those sections, I tried to find the solid center of each square, and using the poster as a guide, placed them about where they would belong. Using this approach, and of course building the borders first, the puzzle turned out to be a lot of fun to construct.
