Review on 🌟 Solar System Puzzle Set: Marvelous Illustrations for Galactic Exploration by Daniel Jenkins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad instructions, bad design

We bought this puzzle for our 7 year old granddaughter who is very interested in space. The puzzle comes with pieces on large sheets that can be "knocked out". My granddaughter made this and it turned out to be one big pile of pieces - just like you would expect from a jigsaw puzzle. Except: the only instructions are a series of pictures showing which parts (numbered) are needed to assemble each planet. It would be nearly impossible to assemble the planets without these instructions, but the part numbers (which seem random in terms of build order?) are printed on the sheets, NOT the parts. Now it is almost impossible to determine the right piece by size and shape (many of which are similar to each other). There are no printed instructions anywhere for removing only the parts from the board that will be needed in the next step. Without these instructions and without a number printed on each part, assembly is almost hopeless. My granddaughter is in tears. We'll send it back.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Modern
