Wrebbit, Notre-Dame de Paris (830-Piece), 3D Jigsaw Puzzle, Ages 14+, 1+ Players

We had this over Christmas and as a combined effort it was good fun but very challenging, it gets easier as you do it and took several days with about 3 -4 people dipping in at various times, it is initially put together in sections flat and then when all sections are done it is constructed as a 3D model. The only photos are on the box so they do not show all sides which def makes it harder with no easy option to cheat. The instructions do show all the flat sections in outline and number of pieces and how they fit which helps a lot and there is a section on construction as well. It looks superb finished though and is very sturdy, the foam is good and its easy to move around as you finish sections. Good value and you do appreciate the architecture of the building. Recommended, young children will need help most likely unless they are jigsaw Gurus!!

I bought this puzzle for my husband and I to enjoy, we really love doing 3D puzzles. Our last 3D puzzle was of the Notre Dame and was around 300 pieces. It took us about a month to get it totally finished and looking fantastic, now granted we didn't put the puzzle together every second of every day for a month. We took breaks and went about our daily lives as well so it ended up taking us quite awhile to get it finished. Even if we had worked on it non-stop I doubt we'd have finished it within two days. We haven't actually started this puzzle yet, because it arrives in the post tomorrow. We'll be starting it right away! I'll update my review once it arrives and I've had a look at it personally, but I have good thoughts about this puzzle! Don't let the negative review below put you off on buying this. Puzzles aren't meant to be rushed and done ASAP, it's meant to be enjoyed. I know my husband and I will thoroughly enjoy this one! **Updated** Okay so the puzzle arrived, and it was just as wonderful as I suspected it would be! Definitely a must have for puzzle lovers. It's pretty difficult but if you do 3D puzzles often then it should be fine. I definitely wouldn't buy this one though as a beginner.

Well where to start other than wow. I ordered this after searching high and low for a challenging 3d puzzle as the competition ones are small with a very low piece count. So after a bit of searching I found this one from wrebbit. As a UK customer I had never heard of the brand but thought I would be worth the risk for a good challenge. Well I was right to buy this. The detail on the puzzle is exceptional. The 900+ pieces as a little scary at first but once you read the instructions it becomes fairly clear on how to complete the puzzle and the details on each piece make it easy to find the correct next piece. I would not recommend this for a beginner as it does have a lot of pieces and is quiet hard to construct. But if you enjoy puzzles and 3d ones more so this is a great way to use up a couple of days. I have order my next one already and can see me buying many more in the future.

Good puzzle, it's fun tondo and it good quality. The only negative is you only get a schematic of the puzzle amd the pictures on the box. It would be good if they had pictures yoy could view on a website or an app. The puzzle has a lot of junk throw away pieces often attached to key puzzle pieces. Just be sure not to throw away the junk pieces unless youre sure they are junk and some smaller pieces can easily mingle in with them. The pieces are on a foam back which is a good centimeter thick so of you use any puzzle sorting trays note they wont be able to hold as many as a regular puzzle. It's a bit more fun than a regular puzzle.

My niece ask for this for her birthday this week. She is delighted with it and will send me a photo when she has completed it.

Fiendishly difficult. No separate picture to help me. After a month since purchase, I'm halfway, still trying to complete the Wrebbit puzzle to the end. A lot of patience and determination is needed. Very good for my brain! And for passing time very quickly during the pandemic. However I wouldn't buy another Wrebbit jigsaw puzzle. I'll stick to normal flat jigsaw puzzles in future. Update 16/03/21 Finally finished the Wrebbit Big Ben puzzle set about 2 weeks ago. Very pleased with the result, really outstanding. All 890 puzzle pieces fully accounted for, nothing missing, no duplicates. But again very difficult to build up right to the end. Prone to mistakes many times. You really need a magnifying glass to make sure any two pieces match each other, without the magnifying glass you won't succeed!! That's it for me, I won't buy another Wrebbit set. I even won't build the existing Big Ben over again!!!! Probably sell it one day.

Recipient enjoyed building this and seemed good quality

This puzzle is a lot of fun and once built looks very impressive too - I found it a bit easier than other 3D puzzles with same number of pieces due to quite defined shapes and different colours in different 'areas' of the puzzle. Very enjoyable!

I've been a long-time fan of Puzz-3D. They're like an addiction of sorts - once you start collecting them you can't stop. I was saddened to see Puzz-3D come to a close, but was excited to recently find that some of the original company started making 3D puzzles again. Anyway, this is a fantastic puzzle, as are all of the Wrebbit puzzles. This is the 2nd "redesigned" puzzle I've done, the first being the Sydney Opera House. The puzzles are better than ever. They've been redesigned with much better artwork and to be much more robust. This one was quite challenging, and as such I wouldn't recommend this particular model for a newbie to 3D puzzles (Lady Victoria and Lady Jane would be perfect beginner's models) but this would be suited for an intermediate and up experience level. I also have the original Puzz-3D version of this puzzle, so I can do some comparison. This one obviously isn't nearly as large (the original version was nearly four feet tall!) but the addition of the House of Parliament takes it to a new level. If you're a fan of the old Puzz-3D line, you're sure to love the new Wrebbit puzzles!

Und leicht auf und abzubauen

Difficile in alcuni passaggi a montarlo

J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir a compléter ce puzzle 3d, il ne manque aucune pièce. Une fois terminé on peut apprécier la grande taille de celui-ci,vraiment contents de mon achat. Attention toutefois, si vous comptez offrir pour un enfant, le puzzle contient beaucoup de petits morceaux de pièce issue de la production du puzzle qui traîne dans la boîte, où sont encore accroché au pièces du puzzle.

I bought two of the Wrebbit puzzles as a Christmas gift for my pre-teen, who is fascinated by architecture right now. She wanted to do the Neuschwanstein Castle first, and we just wrapped up with the Taj Mahal. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of scrap foam in the box that needs to be weeded out as you are laying out the pieces. (We kept the scraps in the box, and sealed it with tape. Combing through the box later turned up two "missing" pieces.) I could have saved us a bit of time if I had simply read the directions before we started on the first puzzle. The directions are mostly in French though, as the puzzle is made in Quebec/Montreal. There is a handy diagram of all the puzzle pieces and how they fit together in the instructions. The puzzles take up a considerable amount of room, so for the second puzzle I made sure we started on a larger table. Give yourself plenty of time to complete these puzzles, especially if this is going to be used for a school project. The Neuschwanstein Castle took us about twice as long as the Taj Mahal to complete, but this could be largely due to having overcome the learning curve by the time we got to the second puzzle. With each puzzle, we found that we were missing one or two pieces. If you are missing any pieces, the instruction pamphlet gives an email and mailing address where you can request replacement pieces. This process worked quite well, and a few weeks later the missing pieces arrived in the mail. In our case, I attribute the missing pieces to our curious puppy. These puzzles really look nice when they are assembled. I am pretty impressed, and my daughter thinks they are fantastic. It is nice to do a puzzle and have something to show for your efforts later. We will definitely be getting more of the Wrebbit puzzles. I would caution parents not to expect a young child to complete these puzzles by themselves. They will challenge an adults patience and fortitude, but stick with it and you will be happy with the results.
