Ravensburger 759-Piece Escape Puzzle - The Witches' Kitchen | Engaging Jigsaw for Kids & Adults | Exciting Escape Room Experience | Ideal for Family Game Nights | FSC-Certified Materials

I just finished the Witch's Kitchen puzzle tonight and I loved it. I spent a few hours a day, for three days, working mostly alone, my husband helped assemble a little bit, and I solved the riddles on my own.It was my first time doing a Ravensburger escape puzzle and I'm looking forward to doing more BUT I also do a lot of escape room games, treasure hunts, and "point and click" adventure video games with hidden objects, riddles and brain teasers. If that's not your thing, then this puzzle probably won't make a lot of sense to you.It's still a lovely jigsaw, even without the "escape" riddle part of it, but it is not quite like other jigsaw puzzles.1) Unlike some jigsaw puzzles, there are no letters or clues on the back, such as "AAAAAA" or "BBBBBB" etc, and it doesn't come with a poster to lay down on the table as a guide.2) The picture on the box is not exactly the same as the picture in the completed puzzle, though it is close enough that I still found it very helpful.3) The edge pieces are cut so they are interchangeable. The internal pieces are not this way, just the edges, so it makes assembling the border a challenge, but not impossible. The puzzle dimensions are on the box, which helps. I put together most of the border, but not all of it, and then started working on the inside for awhile.A lot of people are posting that the solution is incorrect but I didn't have a problem with it. It didn't even occur to me that there was anything wrong until I came here to rate the puzzle and I read the other reviews.I don't want to give answers or spoilers, so I'll just say this: The solution is to IDENTIFY the antidote. If you've done that, nothing else matters.

I have done three different ones of these. They are fun to put together and even more fun to solve the puzzles. I have seen in other reviews that people have problems but I haven't had any issues with this brand at all. Of the 3 I've done , this one was my favorite, both the putting together and the solving.Will buy more of these.

Really cool concept. The box doesn't match the picture (intentionally) so there are hidden clues to find. Before you begin, you have to sort through the cardboard trash rectangles. We had a lot of trouble putting together the border since the pieces don't snap into place very well, kinda felt like any piece could fit into any other piece. But with a good light, we could make sure the piece actually went with the other. The escape part of it was pretty good. All math related, so keep that in mind. We escaped! Also the puzzle hint English page didn't lead to anything, but if you click the German flag and translate page, there's help there if needed.

Great value and quality. Fun for the entire family "Escape" room at home, uses online website for entering the responses before moving on to the next question.Can be put together several times and played again and again.

BEAUTIFUL PUZZLE BUT ITS REALLY DIFFICULT.

Puzzle was missing three pieces. It was brand new and everything which is extremely odd but nevertheless very disappointing.

Pros: beautifully illustrated and fun to put the main puzzle together.Cons: blue cardboard dust gets everywhere from the backing.The end escape puzzle is very lackluster (you take off the edge pieces matching the puzzle solutions and assemble a mini puzzle at the end). This was kind of a meh ending to an otherwise good main puzzle. The ending pieces were very generic and the end puzzle wasn't very fun.

Without spoiling anything, this escape puzzle was a fun challenge. It took 3 of us about 3 1/2 hours to complete. Between 2 of us, we figured out the clues at the end pretty quickly. The third person in our group just opens the answers and talked about how no one could possibly know what to do to solve the clues as she watched us. We proved her wrong, though. So the difficulty of the clues depends on individuals. I’m looking forward to trying one of the kids versions with my nephews! I will definitely buy more from this collection to try.
