Review on Unveiling the Original 3D Crystal Puzzle Deluxe: A Must-Try for Puzzle Enthusiasts! by Marco Maurer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I lost a piece of the crow's nest.

This is my fourth 3D puzzle. My third from this manufacturer. 3D jigsaw puzzles are different from regular jigsaw puzzles and can be challenging as the pieces are somewhat transparent, sometimes requiring you to navigate by touch rather than sight. Also, you're building in 3 dimensions, which usually means holding all the pieces you've put together correctly with one hand (or using lots of tape to hold them together) and placing additional pieces with the other. I finished this in less than two and a half hours (no tape), technically it's not finished yet as one of the two pieces that make up one of the crow's nests was missing so I deducted a star but I did put all the pieces together, which were included and if you hadn't known it was supposed to have two crow's nests you wouldn't have noticed that one is missing. I had a bit of an issue with some parts being a little wobbly like they wouldn't fit into place but once the ship is complete you don't notice it. In general, I am satisfied with the finished product, as well as the complexity. I will buy more puzzles of this type from this manufacturer. Hopefully one day they make it even more complicated :)

Pros
