Micro Pure White Hell Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 Piece)

I got this for my 8 year old Mensa grandson. He's loved puzzles since he could walk. The pieces are VERY tiny - smaller than an adult fingernail bed - but that didn't phase him one bit! There's a pattern on the back in black & gray and he immediately picked up on that, saying if the white was too hard he could match the pattern on the back. And he proceeded to do just that. The pieces are so tiny, I didn't even realize the pattern is of circles, squares and triangles! LOL He really likes it and also likes the glue that comes with it so you can save it forever.Now, if they'd just make a 2000 piece version! :D

This puzzle was a challenge but we were able to finish it way more quickly than we thought we would! Having the Ravensburger sorting trays was a tremendous help! This puzzle seems impossible but it actually has a printed pattern on the back side that can be helpful if you get too stuck. It was lots of fun and got interesting responses from everyone who saw it in progress. Highly recommended!

great purchase puzzle is exactly what it says, hell.

Bought this puzzle as a challenge for myself after having completed the 108 piece version. It should be known that the pieces (a) fit together very loosely and hence come apart very easily, (b) are rather small, and (c) only come in one shape (other than the edge pieces). What [may] save yourself from insanity is that each of the quadrants of this puzzle have different shapes printed on the back of the pieces so you can effectively divide this into four 250 piece puzzles. Additionally, you can use the printed shapes to help determine if two pieces actually go together.Pro-tips: Separate all pieces based on which quadrant they go into. Then sort them by edge, horizontal, and vertical pieces. You can tell if the pieces are "vertical" or "horizontal" based on the pattern on the back of the piece, so separate them accordingly. In the case of the circle pattern pieces, where the printed pattern doesn't give any clues, use the width of the skinniest part of the piece: thinner centers are vertical, wider centers are horizontal. Then, I suggest taking one side of the edge pieces and, while they are disconnected, brute force chains/rows of connected pieces until you have no pieces left and then assemble the entire quadrant based on the completed rows. The reason you want to do it this way is because the pieces come apart far too easily which is why making chains is easier.Rated 4 stars because it does seem like a quality puzzle and does live up to the name "White Hell". However, due to how loosely the pieces fit together, I am knocking off a star.

My grandma loves puzzles and I’ve had a hard time finding something that’s actually challenging for her. She was not pleased, but still excited, when I got her this puzzle.

I bought this for my dad, since he loves challenging puzzles. It definitely delivered on that front. It took my dad a little over a month and a half to finish chipping away at it. When he finished, a piece was missing. There’s a form in the box to send away for missing pieces, but it’s only valid for Japanese residents. I contacted the company through Amazon and they were quick to make everything right. If you’re looking for a challenge and a great company, this is the puzzle for you!

was missing a lot of pieces, came in damaged box

My Mom loves puzzles. She hates this one because all the pieces are too small and pure white. Perfect birthday present
