The World’s Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle – Sweet Shop 529 Pieces by University Games, Double-Sided Challenge Puzzle for Adults & Teens, Brain Teaser Gift, 38 x 38 cm

Amazing, keeps the partner happy and quite for a while

Annoying my mum so much... definitely a worthy gift, especially during lockdown to help pass the time with a challenge!

This is as difficult as it claims. Once the outline is complete, the remaining pieces are only in two shapes. As the picture is the same on both sides there are two identical pieces for each slot, but only one is right. I love it.

As mentioned previously, the pieces can be paired, making the puzzle much easier... The description is incorrect regarding the 90 degree rotation. It's actually a mirror image across one diagonal so all pieces other than the diagonal itself have a matching pair. Would be much tougher if it was 90 degrees...

Got it for hubby and initially he started with, "how difficult can it be?", then he realised it was double sided with same picture!! He then confidentially picked out the corner pieces and made a start. 1.5 hrs later he has about 15 pieces assembled and he seems to resemble someone with tourettes with the ocasssional giggle if he finds a piece that fits. I, on the other hand, am sat on the sofa with the TV remote watching my shows:-). Its a shame the jigsaw pieces arent just a little bit thicker, but that would be my only gripe. Brilliant gift that will keep someone occupied for, well, i suspect at least a few days. Even better gift if theres only 1 tv and you have different tastes in shows.

Brought this as a gift for my nan who loves puzzle and pretty much does them daily. When I gave her this at Christmas she shrugged it off and said she could complete it! Come April this year she done the edges and had to give up and it was back in the box! If you know anyone who loves puzzles and wants a challenge I would definitely recommend this puzzle! They will definitely not complete it quickly and it's a steal at the price.

Not as difficult as I was expecting, especially since I'd been told that a parent's friend had taken over four weeks to complete it (with plenty of time to work on it each day). It took me maybe 1-2 hours to complete the edges and realise that the pattern is mirrored, not rotated, and then 12 hours at most (in bits and pieces over the next five days) to complete the whole thing, particularly after I split up the two types of pieces (all tab vs. all slot) and took a very focused/logical approach. But if you prefer to keep all your pieces in one mass, and try to find random correct pieces, then yes, this is has the potential to be very long-winded and frustrating.

I bought this puzzle as an annoying Christmas present for my other half and he opened it up asking if I hated him lol. We finally started doing it a week or 2 ago- I worked out a clever method to save time- and we’ve finally completed it. Yes it’s only 529, being double sided with the same image rotated it is a bit tricky but not the most difficult puzzle, it is fun though. My other half was happy I bought it for him nearly half way through completing it.

Puzzle veramente difficile

Realmente es una tortura de puzzle, lo que buscaba!

I had this puzzle 5 years ago and lost pieces in a move before I could complete it. So pleased I was able to purchase another copy. There's almost a strategy involved in solving it. Really tests your patience. A lot of fun.

Habe meinen Großeltern das Puzzle geschenkt, falls man bei schlechtem Wetter mal drin bleiben muss und sich langweilt. Nach einem knappen Monat hatten sie es fertig und meinten, es hätte ihnen viel Vergnügen bereitet, obwohl es echt schwierig war, da beide Seiten das gleiche Motiv hatten, nur spiegelverkehrt.

War ein Geschenk, kam aber super an und löste zunächst Verzweiflung beim Spieler aus - aber im positiven Sinne. Es wurde noch nicht aufgegeben.
