| Not very hard to do. Fun to do with grandchild. Going to add to Cinderella colletion. |
Fun, but challenging and adult orientated

My girlfriend and I probably spent 15-20 hours on this puzzle, and we are college students. It is definitely not simple or easy, but not impossible by any means. The initial set up is kindof annoying, because you have to punch out certain parts of the pieces, and it is hard to tell what needs to be punched out (anything with a red line on it). My advice is to KEEP the parts you punch out, because we found that we accidentally put some parts we needed to keep in with the discarded punched-out parts. So keep the punched-out parts safe, just incase you get to the end and you can't find a part!
Overall, a very fun experience. It was really neat seeing how the puzzle was constructed, and seeing it come together portion by portion. Also looks great, although over time it does get a little limpy, and the pieces do not wear very well, so you have to be careful with them! |
Fun, but challanging, not for younger children

| I bought this for my daughter shortly after going to Disney world. she was very excited about it. It takes quite a while to get all the extra pieces out, I wish that would already be done. My daughter, age 9 at the time, did the base of the puzzle, then gave up. I was left to finish it. She would come in and help once in a while when she seen progress. The directions can be a bit complicated, but once you figure them out it's easy. This looks really neat when finished. We keep ours up and on display at all times. Also, the pic. on the box lead me to believe it was much larger then it really was. It's not very big at all. |
Lots of Fun

I hadn't done puzzles in years and never really found them to be a lot of fun-- even as a child. However, my two daughters (4, 16) both were doing puzzles recently and, when I was looking for puzzles for them, I came upon this one.
My kids absolutely love Disney World and love the castle. So, I thought I'd pick this up for my older daughter to do.
Well, she wouldn't do it! Geesh! Right at that very moment she decided she was done with puzzles, so I had to do it myself! Surprisingly enough, this was fun fun fun! It was so much fun, that I immediately bought a Titanic puzzle to do, but when that came I decided that I was done with puzzles, too, and that one's still sitting in the closet unopened.
This took a few hours to do and comes with a bunch of pieces that keep the other pieces together. You have to go through them all and throw out all the ones with dots. After this, it goes pretty fast. There are a few pieces that are very much alike and it's fairly easy to mess up for a bit, but once you realize your mistakes, the puzzle is so easy to put together and there is an immediate feeling of accomplishment!
These 3D puzzles would make great gifts. And, the variety of puzzles out there are truly astounding! When I bought this one, I did a search and found people collect these and some people have entire rooms devoted to these puzzles-- you can find pictures online (puzz3d dot org). I don't think I'll be doing the Titanic puzzle anytime soon, but the one puzzle I did was definitely enjoyable. |

| This was fun to put together, after taking all the "trash" pieces out. That took forever! The directions were not easy to follow and my 9yr old son gave up within an hour of us starting this puzzle. It took my husband and I three evenings of working on it to get it completed. We enjoyed working on it and I'm looking forward to getting another 3-D puzzle. |
