    My son and I did Puzzles when he was younger, but not recently. He thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. His words, “it was harder than I thought!” Would recommend.

    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.

    When I was a young teenager I had a cool puzzle that consisted of 9 square cards with half of a frogs body on each side of each square. You had to arrange the cards just right to complete the puzzle and make whole frogs and there was only one way to solve. It was super challenging but definitely worked your brain – so I thought why not give this one a try. This one is more challenging to me even as there are many more pieces and it REALLY works your brain. 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 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! : )

    When my husband opened the package for this puzzle he asked why I got a little kids puzzle when our kids are teenagers. I promptly took it apart, mixed up the pieces and challenged him to put it back together. An hour later, he still hadnt succeeded. This puzzle is deceptively simple. Sixteen triangular pieces in a larger triangular frame with various butterflies (I think there are 6 or 7 different butterflies) along the edges of each piece. You have to arrange the triangles so that the proper butterflies line up along each edge to create a whole butterfly. The problem is, it is very easy to fit two sides, but not so easy to fit all three. There is only one right solution that will align all the butterflies, but there are seemingly infinite possibilities that dont work (Im sure the number of possibilities can be worked out mathematically, but thats above my pay grade). If you look closely, there are logical ways to start and proceed. Corner pieces, for instance, already have two sides given and there are only two or three pieces which will fit in any given corner. Then from there you can find other areas where there are only a couple of choices and try to eliminate them down to the correct fit. Using this bit of logic (and a whole lot of luck), I managed to complete the puzzle in about half an hour). The puzzle is made of reasonably sturdy cardboard, but Im not sure how well it will hold up with repeated use. It is also certainly not waterproof (much less glue, slime or other such substances), so it is best kept away from young children. Im also not sure how much re-play value this puzzle has. Theoretically you can solve it over and over again and it wouldnt necessarily get easier over time. But I wonder how many people will be motivated to do so - I cant say that I am. This is a decent puzzle for an older child or adult, but probably something best suited for a school, retirement home or other facility where it will get used by multiple people.

    I first received a couple of these Triazzle puzzles when I was about 8 years old, and I have fond memories of solving them over and over. These are a little smaller than the puzzles used to be in the 2000s, but the same sturdy quality is still there. I’m so glad they are rereleasing them. There are some strategies to learn and it’s a lot of fun figuring them out. I even got to the point where I would time myself to see how fast I could solve one. I highly recommend placing all the pieces in a ziplock bag when not playing with it. This is also better for repeat solving because you won’t remember where any of the pieces belong. However, if you do lose a piece, the board is still solvable with just one missing piece. If you already bought your puzzle and are really struggling to solve, a good strategy is to start from one corner and work your way out. Pick out all the tiles that could fit in one corner of the board and try any combination that lets you keep progressing. It’s a puzzle on the process of elimination.

    This 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.

    I’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.

    This 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.

    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.

    Got 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.
