BepuzzledOriginal 3D Crystal Puzzle Deluxe - Pirate Ship, Black - Fun yet challenging brain teaser that will test your skills and imagination, For Ages 12+

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO DO THIS PUZZLE :D I have done several of these types of puzzles, but this was the most challenging one so far. Over the course of several rainy afternoons and a few missteps, I finally got most of it together only to find there was, truly, a piece missing so I couldn't finish the top of the ship until.... Note: There were NO INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BOX. Using common sense and the box to help in construction left much to be desired, especially when it came to putting on the cannons, masts, and sails. One session toward the end, I finally looked on the back of the box. On the bottom right corner in small print, "For complete instructions, visit ugames.com". Lo and behold, I could print off instructions! The instruction sheet had a picture of each piece (numbered) in the order to put it together, and this was very important because of my lost piece. The 3 stars on sturdiness is due to the fact that you have to be very careful handling the ship until you get close to the end and can attach the "screws/mast" which help hold it all together. I gave a 5 star overall rating, due to fact that once I figured out which # piece if was from the instruction sheet. I contacted the company about the missing piece, and they sent me (free of charge) the missing piece, to complete my ship :) . Already have another puzzle on the way from the company! GOOD LUCK!

I’m starting my collection of 3D puzzles, this is my 6th one, and the one with more pieces, and I got to tell you, I’m in love with it!!It was delivered yesterday, like 2 days after I ordered it, but when I received it, I needed to go to work so, when I came back, I had to open the package, just to “see” if I had all the pieces.I started at 1 am, and couldn’t stop until 4 am, when the headache for lack of sleep was killing me 😅. Then I continued this morning, and after 2 more hours I finally finished, but man, it was worth it all the time I spent on it, it’s beautiful!! At times I started become a little frustrated, but that’s the challenge on puzzles, you have to study all the pieces in different positions to find the right one.This ship doesn’t come with instructions, so if you’re looking for instructions, try another puzzles before this one. After I did some 3D puzzles with fewer pieces, I didn’t look for instructions anymore, you get used to look for all combinations in every piece.This is a well made puzzle, and with you finish it is really sturdy, my only complaint is that you need to kind of sand some pieces ‘cause they have a little plastic residue that prevent some pieces to fit well. Also, you can see some gaps between some of the pieces, but it’s not something too noticeable, at the end, this Pirate Ship looks really amazing.I hope I can find another puzzle with this amount of pieces or more, ‘cause after these, I don’t know if the others are gonna challenge me enough 😁

This is my fourth 3D puzzle. My third from this manufacturer. 3D puzzles are different from regular puzzle, and can be a challenge, as the pieces are somewhat transparent so you sometimes have to go by feel rather than sight. Also, you are building in three dimensions which typically means holding all the pieces you've gotten correctly together with one hand(or using a lot of tape to hold them together) while placing additional pieces with the other. I finished this in just under 2 and a half hours(without using any tape), well, technically it's not finished as it was missing one of the two pieces that makes up one of crows nests, which is why I deducted a star, but I got all the pieces together that came with it, and if you didn't know it was supposed to have two crows nests, you wouldn't notice that one is missing. I did have a little trouble with a few of the pieces being a little wobbly like they didn't really fit where they belong, but once the ship is complete you don't notice. Overall I am pleased with the finished product, as well as the difficulty. I will be buying other puzzles of this type from this manufacturer. Hopefully someday they will make even more challenging ones :)

I love these crystal puzzles, they look amazing when they're complete and I feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I figure them out and actually assemble them. As they start taking shape and I realize I've been working from the top down the whole time (have done that multiple times). I had two parts going for this puzzle; the bottom and the top, and I was working towards the middle on both of them. I went to slot the top into the bottom... And dropped the whole thing. I had been working nonstop for almost five hours trying to figure out just how everything worked. I was delighted, so pleased to be done. I cried. I had to do half of it over again, but when it was 100% done, it's wonderful.Once a puzzle is complete, it stays together. There are items used to keep everything together, however until it is complete, it can at any point come apart, which is SO FRUSTRATING. XD But they are still hugely fun.

They crack after painting. Also will crack after heating.

My eleven old found this kit too daunting to put together. There is no instruction sheet included, just a picture of the completed 3D assembly on the box cover. Would have been helpful as a starter to see some intermediate pictures.

Fue un regalo, le ha costado un poco armarlo pero la final luce bonito aunque es de tener cuidado en caídas o no dejar que se empolve.

Esta bien y es un buen reto al armarlo, al final tuve que buscar un tutorial en internet porque no viene con una guía

Packaged well, no damage to the puzzle box.

A little complicated, some parts were not the right fit, but I managed it somehow.Over all not bad but a little over priced
