> 3 dayA 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.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayLooks like it would be so simple but it is not! One time I will pick it up and it almost puts itself together. The next time, I have spent hours on it and still don’t get it right! Good luck!

Greater than one weekI’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 dayI used to do these puzzles every day after school as a kid at the local Boys and Girls Club so I was really excited to run across this here. And it was just as I remember it! My 4.5 year old came up and was feeling really confident putting pieces in their place for a bit until it wasn’t all adding up and she got frustrated (it is rated as 8+ years and is considered challenging). There are several similar pieces so you don’t usually know you have something in the wrong place until you get down to just a few pieces left and then have to backtrack! Even as an adult, there was still enough challenge that I enjoyed doing this puzzle again!

It;s intriguing as all get out!

> 3 dayThis is a fun puzzle that is also challenging for an 8 year old. Its not like your standard puzzle, as multiple pieces can fit in each slot. So it really becomes a process of elimination. I needed to help my child this puzzle, as she is not accustomed to this type of puzzle. Its challenging and we havent even finished it yet. The pieces are sturdy, and my kid liked the colorful butterflies. Id say this is a fun and challenging puzzle for a 7-12 year old.

> 3 daySome of the best puzzles come from the interaction of really simple pieces. This is one of them. Each of the pieces here is shaped exactly the same way, as an equilateral triangle. All you need to do is match up the animals on the pictures. Easy enough for a kid to understand, but quite difficult to do, even for an adult. The pieces themselves, and the backer, are made out of a fairly stiff cardboard that holds up fairly well to being rearranged incessantly as you try to make it all work. I got it for my 6 year old grandson. His parents are enjoying it.

> 3 dayThis puzzle arrived quickly, wrapped in shrink wrap and in great condition; made of nice quality cardboard with vivid clear colorful printing- no odor. This puzzle is a Ravensburger product. I highly advise you to take a picture of the assembled puzzle prior to dismantling the pieces. It appeared easy enough...just 13 triangle puzzle pieces and my thought was just to do the edge pieces and the rest will just fall into place...well, easier said than done. This is challenging since 2 of the 3 sides may match multiple pieces. I wanted to time myself assembling the puzzle but adulting responsibilities got in the way and I had to hand it over to my tween to finish. She really enjoyed it and it did take a bit of time to assemble it correctly (she removed my pieces and worked in a triangular method-and it took her 25 minutes to do this puzzle). I LOVE products that are double duty...as in not just a puzzle but a brain teaser or products that are games with lessons unwittingly built in-this puzzle was fun and I look forward to adding it to our game room stash. I am a fan of puzzles in boxes or pouches for storage, so I will have to find a solution for storage so the pieces do not separate from the board and get lost, as well as toss in a printed picture of the assembled puzzle just to have an answer key on hand. This product arrived shrink wrapped and in great condition.
