African Jungle Puzzle from Educa

A co-worker of mine gifted this African Jungle Puzzle from Educa to us. Although we were very, very grateful, we knew we were in for a challenge the instant we set eyes on it. This wasn’t going to be one of those knock-it-out-in-a-day-or-two puzzles. And it wasn’t. But, oh my was the final result so amazing! There are so many animals and creatures to be found in this puzzle. The details are amazing. But to get there, to get to that moment where we could actually sit back and enjoy them…. well that took a while!

A Safari In A Puzzle

There are lots and lots of busy areas in this African Jungle puzzle from Educa. Animal busy. Plant busy. Water busy. Bird busy. Flower busy. It’s just busy! Bright in some spots. Dark in others. This puzzle is not for the impatient. Get your comfy clothes on and settle in for some long puzzling!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contained 2000 pieces. It was very large. The completed puzzle was about 38″ wide and 27″ tall. It took up every inch of the puzzle board that we use. The pieces were fairly loose-fitting, however we did get this puzzle used and it had some signs of wear so that might be why the pieces weren’t real tight. It was fairly difficult to put pieces in the wrong spots, which is good because this one took us over two weeks to finish! The box is large and so is the image on it, however it did not come with a poster. If you’re looking for a puzzle that is a real good bang for your buck, and takes a while to assemble, this is it!

I could not find this puzzle for sale on Amazon, but I was able to locate it on Puzzle Warehouse’s website. It’s well-worth the price and will bring hours of challenging fun!

Surf Shack Puzzle from Buffalo Games

The Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of the hardest ones we’ve ever completed. The edges were the easiest part. It got tougher, much tougher, from there. So many colors. So many pieces. Objects everywhere. Small objects. Oh yes, it was worth it, but this one took us a while to complete. But, we’re not on a schedule here. We get done when we get done and we enjoy the ride as we go.

Reuse Recycle

One thing I found interesting with the Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games was that some of the objects in it are re-used in other puzzles from the manufacturer. I’m not surprised but it just caught my eye. The image in this puzzle is nicely done and is high-quality. I wouldn’t call it a ‘copy and paste’ job.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ high and 39″ wide. A large poster, included, is a great help. The pieces are fairly small. They fit together well and it’s hard to get a piece in wrong. The image is crisp and bright. The final picture is worth the struggle with the many, many colors! Sorting this puzzle was a challenge!

The Grand Fiction Library Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Wow, what a puzzle. This is one of the most amazing works from Aimee Stewart that we’ve ever completed. It’s fantastic in every way. The artistry is unbelievable. So many objects, with such detail and color that we found ourselves enjoying it for hours. It’s not usual for us to keep a completed puzzle around for just a little bit before moving on to the next one. Not this one. The Grand Fiction Library puzzle from Buffalo Games was one we had to sit and admire for days.

Not Easy. But Worth It.

The Grand Fiction Library puzzle from Buffalo Games took us a while to assemble. But first came the sorting. We always begin our puzzles by separating the edges and then the pieces, by color. Yeah, that was a challenge with this one. There are so many colors. Everywhere. Lots of similar one. Tons of them. We used 16 different containers to sort, a new record for us!

It took us days to assemble this one. It was the most challenging fun we’ve had. Aimee Stewart, one of our favorite artists, really did a great job on this one!

Family Vacation Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Back in the day we had what were called ‘clip-art’ CDs. You could buy a CD chock full of drawings, from animals to planes to trees. Anything you could imagine you could find on a clip-art CD. This Family Vacation puzzle from Buffalo Games reminded me of a clip-art CD. It literally has 100s and 100s of elements in it. Bicycles, radios, skates, fishing lures, you name it. Anything you can think of, chances are it’s in there somewhere.

Aimee Stewart

We are both huge Aimee Stewart puzzle fans. You know you’re always in for a bit of a challenge when you make one of her designs. And you know you’re going to have frame-worthy results that pop with tons of color and fun. This Family Vacation puzzle from Buffalo Games is no exception. Though it definitely has its challenging spots (I seriously thought I’d never finish the pieces that make up the car), it’s not frustrating.

Buffalo. And Ravensburger?

When we purchased this puzzle it came from Buffalo Games, a trusted name in puzzling. But now when I look online it’s available from Ravensburger, another trusted name in puzzling. I can only say the Buffalo version was great but given our great experience with other puzzles from Ravensburger, I’m willing to bet that their version is just as fantastic!

Our Buffalo (which we picked up at an antique mall) has 2000 pieces while the Ravensburger one contains 1000 pieces.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 26″ high and 38″ wide. There is a poster included, thankfully. The pieces are small but thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is an enjoyable, quality puzzle!

Beachcomber’s Bounty Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This was easily the hardest puzzle we’ve done. Or would it be hardly the easiest? There were so many challenging spots in this Beachcomber’s Bounty puzzle from Buffalo Games. Designed by one of our favorite artists, Aimee Stewart, it contains a myriad of beach finds. Of every size and color imaginable, too. The only thing easy about this puzzle was when (after almost two weeks!) we got the last piece! At least we knew where it belonged!

Challenges Abound

I wish I could say there was a particularly easy area in this puzzle. Some place to point to where the pieces dropped into place almost by themselves. But nope. Once we got past the edges it was challenge after challenge. And boy did we ever enjoy the final results. Beachcomber’s Bounty puzzle from Buffalo Games is another wonderfully colorful Aimee Stewart work. It’s one we can look at for hours.

The Trademark Fox

Like most of Ms. Stewart’s puzzles, this one does include the image of a fox. I won’t tell you where it is so as to not ruin the surprise but it’s there! Happy hunting!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces, though it is available in other sizes. The final puzzle is about 39″ wide and 27″ high. The pieces fit fairly well. The image is crisp and bright and the colors are fantastic. There is a poster included that is clear and easy to work from. This is a very large (for us) and challenging puzzle that provides hours of great puzzling fun.

Farm Fresh Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We can always count on artist Aimee Stewart to produce amazing puzzles. The Farm Fresh puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of her best. There are so many things in this puzzle. Wonderful things. Fresh produce everywhere. Seed packets. Signs. And of course, a kitten. What a great place to go if it was only real!

Color Eveywhere

The color contrasts in this Farm Fresh puzzle from Buffalo Games are wonderful. It was a very enjoyable experience putting it together. Are there some tough spots? You bet you. Some of the wood planks proved a bit harder. And we had to get our magnifying glass out a few times to make sure were were getting the shelf items right.
