Heye29777 "Ocean Habitat Puzzle (1000-Piece)

Great puzzle and extremely fun to put together. The only problem is there is NO MAP or POSTER to look at that will enable you to put the puzzle together. All you have is the front of the rectangular FLAT box. I sent an email to HEYE and I was told ONLY the "Triangular" boxed puzzles they sell have POSTERS. This is my 5th HEYE puzzle and regardless of puzzle mfgr and all the puzzles I've ordered (my hobby) I make sure they all have maps with them so it'll make it easier to see the area I'm working on. Not everyone has perfect eyesite especially the elderly. Great puzzle but IF it came with a POSTER/MAP you would be able to enjoy putting the puzzle together with friends or family. (It's kind of hard to do with everyone holding a magnifying glass.) I had to use a magnifying glass to look at the front of the puzzle box and I think for $0.10 (cents) they could have printed a poster and included it in the Box. This puzzle took me 2 weeks instead of 3-4 days to put together. It definitely takes the fun out of putting a puzzle together when you have to use a magnifying glass and look at the box top and then with the red arrow/lettering at the bottom you can't see what's underneath that part of the puzzle so you have a huge blind spot. I still love the puzzle regardless. I have glued the puzzle and it will be framed in our puzzle room along with the other 25 framed puzzles. HEYE makes quality puzzles the pieces snap together easily and you will not get one puzzle piece confused with another one. Every puzzle piece is different unlike other puzzle companies that use four generic pieces as their technique to cut the pieces. ( you can never tell if the correct piece is in place until later into the puzzle and you find out you have duplicate size two pieces) HEYE DOES NOT DO THAT, they use a technique where every piece is a different size piece which allows you to know it is definitely in the correct spot, the cardboard is thick, the colors are brilliant and I love their comical puzzles. I think this is my fifth puzzle from HEYE and all the other ones have been purchased in triangular boxes so this is my first flat rectangular box from HEYE so I was definitely surprised not to see a guide or a map. It definitely threw me for a loop. I won't make that mistake again, I will only purchase their triangular boxed puzzles. When it's all said and done this puzzle is absolutely beautiful and it will be framed and hung in the puzzle room along with our 25 other puzzles hanging and framed. This is our retirement Hobbies so we're very knowledgeable about puzzle companies and he is definitely one of our choice companies. HEYE puzzles are definitely quality puzzles.

Good quality. Can’t wait to buy the rest. Love how they all go together like your walking through a zoo.

Another wonderful puzzle by Degano. Pieces interlock and it's fun to assemble.

It was a really fun and fairly easy-intermediate puzzle. However, as other reviewers have stated, advertisements block the picture and there is no paper picture to look at. The puzzle experience could be improved a lot if they would just either get rid of the ads or include a paper picture in the box.

It a fun puzzle with very cute characters but you can't see the whole picture. The red lines block the top and bottom of the design. Too bad they didn't include a whole picture inside the box since they ruined it on the box. I typically only buy Heye puzzles, guess I am going to have to look for others that are just as cute.

I love puzzles and I have several of the Heye puzzles. Price may be a little high for a puzzle but, they are designed well, have a good and sturdy quality to them and have many theme options. The images are so very entertaining. I would recommend for personal or as gifts.

Great puzzle

Everything was perfect
