Ravensburger Space Observatory Jigsaw Puzzle

I enjoy jigsaw puzzles and escape rooms so I was excited to find both in one box. It is challenging! Many of the pieces are interchangeable so it is easy to put pieces of the puzzle in the wrong place. The picture on the box is not exactly the same as the actual puzzle, which keeps the escape part of the puzzle concealed, but can frustrate those who depend heavily on the box for guidance. Many of the pieces of the puzzle are dark or very similar in color also increasing the difficulty. I built the puzzle myself which took much longer than a puzzle of similar number of pieces, but my son and I solved the escape portion of the puzzle together. If you have ever done an escape room, that experience will help you. As with actual escape rooms it is helpful to have others involved in helping solve riddles, puzzles, clues, etc. If you like a real challenge, then this is for you. I liked this puzzle so much, I ordered 4 more in the Ravensburger Escape 759 Series.

Great for a challenge but not for a beginner.
