> 24 hourA puzzle and a brain teaser all in one. Youre going to need a lazy afternoon to tackle this one. I took a photo before I started and Im glad I did because I had to give up and go do other things. Its good quality with nice thick pieces, but the pieces were bowed a bit when all of them were in the frame so the surface was not flat. Perhaps the humidity here caused them to swell. A sleeve to store it in would be nice since I didnt trust the pieces to stay put. It fits in a 2-gallon Ziploc. I will pull this out again at a family gathering. I think the adults will have fun with it, but it might be too frustrating for the kids.

> 24 hourThis Frog Triazzle puzzle is so much fun and definitely a challenge. When we first opened it everyone thought they could do it quickly then soon realized it tricks you with the multiple locations for pieces. Really gets you thinking ahead and using problem solving which makes this puzzle great for all ages. I love the size as it easily stores in between the games in the cabinet. We are very happy with the challenging fun of this puzzle and feel it would make a great gift.

> 24 hourThis puzzle/brain-teaser sure is challenging. It REALLY works your brain. Good for those that are patient and enjoy a challenge. Some might find it frustrating, though. Hah ha. The game claims to be good for ages 8 and up. I can not imagine a child trying to solve this without getting frustrated or losing interest. Personally I think teens and adults are more suited – but what do I know – maybe I was a dumb impatient kid. : ) It is challenging and pretty. It is printed and constructed well. Everything is contained inside the main outside triangle border. The only thing is that I do wish it came in a reusable sleeve for storage. It comes in plastic shrink wrap but once you rip that open it is gone and you just have the board and all the pieces. I found a plastic sleeve from something else and inserted it to store. Otherwise, this is such a nice game/puzzle. Would make a good gift for those that like puzzles and a challenge as well. I hope that you have found my review “helpful”. : ) Enjoy your day! : )

> 24 hourWhen I was a kid, my cousin had one of these puzzles (a butterfly version). I always thought it was the coolest thing ever; it only took me 25 years to get my own puzzle! I first worked on this puzzle while listening to some things, as I tend to concentrate better when my hands are busy. After a while, I had some time to just concentrate on the puzzle. Id taken a picture before I started (just in case) and am so glad I did! With all of the different frog legs everywhere, Id thought there were two pieces that fit in each corner. Id worked all the variations from there, but they didnt match. Looking back at my picture, it turns out there were actually other options (Ill let you figure out how many). ;-) Long story short, its a colorful, fun brain teaser for about 8 years and up. The puzzle is well made, and Im storing mine in a 2.5 gallon Ziplock so I dont lose any pieces. Have fun puzzling!

> 24 hourNOTE: I review products after repeated use to make sure they can stand my test of time. :)) Bought this product since 7.25.22. THE GOOD - Excellent family fun - Quite challenging, whether or not you think thats good but for our family, it was good. We had our 12 year old and 5 year old do it together. Kept them occupied for a long long time - Sturdy cardboard material - Makes for a perfect school sharing item Our five-year-old brought it to school for his Friday sharing day. Even the teacher got all into it and thought it was hard. THE BAD - Nothing WILL I BUY IT AGAIN? Yes as gifts for others since I have two already. :))

> 24 hourThis butterflies puzzle is a fun challenge. It is one that can be done again and again. There are triangular shaped pieces that fit into a triangle shaped backboard. The permanent edges along the board have the design too, so that you have a place to start. Each side of each triangle has half a butterfly or butterflies. The trick is to fit all the halves together to complete the puzzle. Multiple pieces look as if they can fit in the corner spots, so its a matter of trial and error until they all get placed properly. Its like its a new puzzle each time. Ive really been enjoying it.

> 24 hourThis puzzle is much, much harder than it looks. If only you didnt have to match all three sides it wouldnt be so difficult, but, of course, you do. The puzzle is colorful and the pieces are made of quality cardboard. It arrived in great condition.

> 24 hourGot this for my 7-year-old son who is pretty good at puzzles. This was a bit harder, though he figured it out fairly quickly. All of the pieces are equilateral triangles so you have to assemble them using the picture alone which really encourages attention to detail and critical thinking. If youre looking to give your kids a challenge, try Triazzles.

> 24 hourI should have taken the manufacturers at their word: it really is harder than it looks! This is very cleverly designed so that just when you think youve solved it, it turns out that you need to start over because you made a mistake right at the beginning. My wife grabbed this as soon as it arrived with an air of This is going to be easy. Two hours later she was getting pretty frustrated. I tried to help, but then I started to get frustrated too! This really is a head-scratcher. Unlike a conventional jigsaw, this clever puzzle misleads you into thinking youve gotten some of the pieces in the right place, on for you to later realize that you made some kind of mistake. I lent this to a friend who is an avid jigsawist--when I saw her two hours later she was still working on it. In short--this is really fun and deceptively difficult. I think Ill be buying the other two designs!

> 24 hourThis is definitely a lot harder than it looks. My 4 year old loves puzzles, so I thought this would be an interesting twist to challenge him, but its just too hard for his level (I know the product says 8 and up, but those arent always accurate). That said, it is a fun puzzle that will challenge anyone. The board and pieces are decent quality, but I wish they were a bit thicker. Overall Im happy with the puzzle. Ill just have to wait a bit before my son can do it.
