> 3 dayVery fun but challenging puzzle. Took me quite some time to get it back together. Very sturdy cardboard frame and the picture is very nicely printed and detailed. Puzzles like these were always fun when I was a kid and they still are. I can see why they have sold so many millions. Highly recommended for kids or anyone that loves puzzles.

Greater than one weekThe Think Fun Triazzle picture-matching brainteaser (dolphins) is a challenge for a child and a cool accomplishment when he or she is finished. The puzzle is well made (made in China by a subsidiary of Ravensburger). It comes in a frame to hold the pieces, which made putting it together a lot easier. The challenge is not to just assemble the parts, but to put them in the correct order so the dolphins and turtles are not “cut in half” by where it is placed. It is a lot of fun to put together and then it can be done again!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayMy 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.

> 3 dayI’ve had brainteaser puzzles like this before and have always found them to be fun and challenging. This ‘Triazzle’ by ThinkFun is no exception. It’s a great puzzle to have on hand. It’s big enough for a couple of people to work on together. And it’s challenging enough to be fun. The cardboard the puzzle is printed on is a little thin in my opinion. It makes the pieces a little awkward to deal with and they don’t want to stay in place on the board like they would if the cardboard was thicker. The butterfly design is a little hard to see being it’s rather small. But that nothing a pair of reader glasses won’t fix. I’m happy with this brain teaser puzzle and would definitely buy others in the series. I keep it in the RV, and it’s a great way to pass time.

> 3 dayGot 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.

> 3 dayGot 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!

> 3 dayI originally ordered this for a 13-year old but decided to give it a go myself (and Im 13 a few times over.) It is challenging, although solvable with patience. The pieces are relatively sturdy and easy to manipulate. I see this very much as a solo activity, but I guess you could work it through with a partner. I really enjoyed it and think that the originally intended recipient would have enjoyed it a lot...and been able to solve it with the same time and patience.

> 3 dayIm 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.

> 3 dayHad 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!!
