The Mystic Maze • 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle from The Magic Puzzle Company • Series One

This is our favorite puzzle ever! The quality and craftsmanship are exquisite. The colors are true and very colorful. We really appreciate working from the separate picture provided and not having to work from only the picture of the cover of the box. The best part, there are two copies of the picture! The mystery or magic of the puzzle adds such an unexpected twist as you complete the puzzle. Quality, fun, easy to use but not easy to solve.. purchase it- you will be glad you did!

This was an extremely fun puzzle to do. It had the perfect amount of challenging to keep you locked in. The puzzle pieces are such fascinating shapes, great quality, and thickness. I also loved the unique shape of the puzzle sections. The puzzle’s magic trick makes it even more captivating! My grandma and I worked on this together and it took us only 2 days to complete. (I made sure not to attach any spoilers in the photo btw)

This was the most fun I've ever had putting together a puzzle. The design itself is so adorable, but also the shape of the pieces are extra adorable. The quality is amazing. Lastly, when I thought I was all done, there was extra fun to be had. This filled my heart with so much joy that I can't imagine ever buying any other puzzle brand besides this one.

What a joy to make such a high quality puzzle! The surface is so silky smooth that when you pick up each piece you just want to keep holding it and rub the surface with your thumb. There's no glare, yet the colors are vibrant. Probably a little hard for beginners as it is challenging (and surprising), but the action is continuous and doesn't have those phases where you're stuck on a section. This is the most clever and fun puzzle I've ever done - I'm going back for more!

My daughter and I finished this in 3 days. Such a cool and unique puzzle. Can’t wait to do more!

I completed this puzzle on my own, but it would make an awesome group activity. I’ve already ordered two more from this brand for that reason, though I haven’t finished them yet. This was a really enjoyable puzzle, the image and piece quality were both excellent. Plus, there’s a story behind it with a surprising plot twist, especially if it's your first time doing one of these.

Don't buy this if you aren't prepared for your puzzle standards to shoot through the roof afterward. This is a seriously thoughtful, imaginative, beautiful puzzle and I'm looking forward to putting it together again in the near future. Let's start with what makes this puzzle different from the other puzzles we've done. Usually, a puzzle piece is a container holding a fragment of a design you then connect to other containers to complete a picture. This is what we're used to. THIS Puzzle, on the other hand, is different in that the puzzle and the picture both link to a story. The pieces aren't containers; rather, they are tiny bits of a story you're sharing with a specific character. Assembling the puzzle is the largest step to telling that story, but it isn't the ONLY step. Because of this, the interactivity offered by the puzzle goes even deeper than what your average puzzle offers! Contents and packaging: I sooooo appreciated the inclusion of TWO puzzle posters as opposed to one. Not only did it make for a great sharing; now I can frame one of the posters and keep the second in the box for next time. Everything is packaged up neatly, with reusable bags for the puzzle pieces and well-labeled surprises. Now, onto assembly: I found the tag of 1000 pieces to be pretty intimidating at first, but it was actually a breeze to assemble. Every piece is uniquely shaped and no two regions are alike in color or texture. A tree in the middle-right section of the puzzle will be vastly different from a tree in the middle-left section. That really helped when putting everything together! I notoriously end up with a few pieces fitting in the wrong place whenever I puzzle, but that did not happen ONCE with this one. There are plenty of interesting challenges to encounter when assembling the puzzle (like false-edge pieces) but we never felt frustrated or stuck. Every puzzling session it took to complete it left us feeling rewarded for our efforts, with little bits of story unfolding from every completed scene. My ONLY issue with this puzzle was that the pieces fit a little loose. It made doing some stuff near the end a challenge and we had to do some emergency reassembly at points. Honestly, not at all worth docking a star from what is easily a 10 star puzzle. Final Thoughts/Note to the Publishers DEFINITELY use Boya Sun's artwork in your next series of puzzles. Holy cow, the art is phenomenal. I need more Boya Sun artwork in my life from this point on. (Warning though: don't visit Boya Sun's portfolio if you haven't finished the puzzle, you may find spoilers! but definitely visit when you're done because wow! What a fantastic artist.) We were so charmed by the characters presented in the puzzle that we'd love to see another puzzle following their adventures. Such an imaginative cast. Keep being awesome. We'll be buying the next two puzzles in the series, but we have a feeling this one was the best one of the bunch! I hope to see more vibrant, adventurous puzzles from this company in the future.

Me and my wife system doing puzzles together, and tried our first magic puzzle. I don't think we've found a puzzle we hated and loved as much as this one. The border was challenging to figure out which made it fun. Very high quality pieces which fit in more than one place which made it aggravating and challenging and fun. Wife went from saying "I'm never doing one of these again" to "when can we get another one" pretty quickly. The magic at the end was a really nice bonus too
