Think Fun Triazzle Picture-Matching Brainteaser (Dolphins) Puzzle for Ages 8 and Up (76491)

This dolphin triazzle puzzle is quite a fun challenge. It looks like it would be easy until you give it a try. Each piece is simply a triangle shape, but can fit in multiple spaces. The head area of a dolphin lines up with the tail along the edge and you think you have it until you continue on and run into pieces that dont go together. Really a great brain working problem solver puzzle that is great for all ages. The size is nice not at all big or clunky and can be easily stored in between games in the game cabinet. We are very happy with the quality and challenging fun of this puzzle and definitely recommend. Would make a great gift for families.

This Triazzle puzzle is almost the same as one I had many years ago, only smaller. The frog design appears to be the same, however this puzzle is, I’d guess, about 50% smaller than the one I had in the 1990s. This is actually a bit welcome, as the issue with the larger Triazzle puzzle of the past was sometimes finding a place to store it flat. The puzzle appears simple, but once you dump all the pieces out you’ll find that it’s not quite as simple as it looks, and just when you think you may have the puzzle solved, you may find the last few pieces just don’t fit! It’s a fun puzzle, the only issue is once you recall where a few key pieces go, it does become a bit easier. Even now, years later when working with the puzzle, my brain still recalls where one key puzzle piece goes, however, it’s still fun to figure the rest of the puzzle out! The puzzle is made well of sturdy board material. The puzzle pieces fit snugly, the printing is good, and overall it’s a fun puzzle!

I bought this to use in my classroom with elementary students. I like the puzzle and think the kids will enjoy it. While it is made of sturdy cardboard, I don’t think it will hold up to a lot of use. Maybe better for home use with just one or two children.

Had the pleasure of sharing this with my friends 12yr old daughter. She looked at the package and said, hmm, I like butterflies, its cute I guess. Oh its a puzzle?..oh thisll be easy. Well, after an hour she said, gee I guess this is a brainteaser, why didnt you tell me!?!?!?!...she eventually solved it, walked away and declared, I wanna try it again! This was also a big hit with a small group of my adult friends....was hilarious actually. Bottom line, fun for young and old. Enjoy!!

My son really loves the butterfly theme. The board feels sturdy and seems to hold up well. The print quality is great, with sharp images and bright colors, no blurring or misaligned coloring. The pieces fit into the main board without too much crunching (which is good, because it prevents damage to the edges), but dont have extra looseness.

I made two mistakes with this puzzle: 1. I should have taken a picture of the puzzle before I removed it from the shrink wrap, and 2. I should have numbered the pieces on the back so I would know how to put it together! Im joking, but this puzzle is a challenge. You definitely use your problem-solving skills and deductive reasoning as advertised. I have several ThinkFun games and I think they are fantastic. The only thing I would change with this puzzle would be to include a sleeve of some kind to put it in when not in use. Definitely a winner.

This 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.

I actually got these for my son who is 4 years old. I thought since its just a bunch of triangles they would be easy to put together. Boy was I wrong. I have yet to complete one. The one I got closest to is all done but the last 3 pieces. Thats what makes these so tough. You think you got it solved until the last few pieces.

Got this origially as a gag for a friend to play with,who had missed seeing any dolphins on a recent vacation Then we both realised just how much more this (and one assumes, its stallmates) really can be for puzzle lovers Dont want to spoil the fun, but if youre a puzzler, get this! It;s intriguing as all get out!

Im a full-time single parent and I work from home about 80% of the time. The summers are rough with no school, so there is a constant struggle to find things to keep my daughter busy. She loves doing jigsaw puzzles, so I figured I would give this a try. She LOVES it! She has been at it for about 2 hours now without a peep, except this thing is not easy! I might have to get another one of these when she figures this one out. Highly recommend getting this for your kiddos, especially if you are a work from home single parent like me! UPDATE: I now have one gripe about the puzzle. The answer* is glue to the back. Would be nice to have it as a separate paper. This is one of those puzzles you shouldnt use picture of the final product before assembly.
