Customer Reviews

Good quality puzzle
Puzzle is constructed of heavy duty cardboard (backing is gray; front has a canvas-like look to it).

The individual puzzle pieces are oddly-shaped, not your run-of-the-mill-shaped pieces, which, at first, makes the puzzle more difficult, but as you work along, the shapes of the pieces almost help to make the puzzle easier because the shapes/pieces are so visually unique. This is my first Ravensburger puzzle, so maybe unique-shaped pieces are something they are known for, but, for me, it was something I had to get adjusted to. Pieces are also cleanly cut and fit tightly--there's no guessing if the piece really fits there or not.

Colors are great, the blue-water areas all have varying shades of blues, so you can actually put those areas together using the subtle variations of color to guide you rather than just hit-or-miss puzzling.

The only complaint that I have about this puzzle is its orientation, most of the puzzles I work are "landscape" oriented (longer from side-to-side), this puzzle is "portrait" oriented (longer from top to bottom), and because of that I had to reach a lot further across the puzzle to do the top (something to consider if you have limited mobility or space constraints and don't want to have to work the puzzle sideways).

Overall, a really well made puzzle--there was not that usual pile of cardboard dust in the box--and I will definitely look to buy more Ravensburger puzzles in the future.

A Rush Hour that is actually enjoyable
Puzzle is amusing and challenging. It is a wonderful way to clear the mind.

Ravensburger Rush Hour Jigsaw puzzle
I love the picture on this puzzle. It was difficult to do the outside pieces, so many of them were monocolor, and so many of them fit very nicely into the wrong piece. With the multicolored pieces it is clear from the color fit whether they are in the correct place or not. I am still doing it about 15 minutes per day, enjoy the challenge immensely, and it is a nice break.
