Buffalo Games - Island Life - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

This box was glued from top to bottom around the sides of the box. I was glad I had a "Scotty Peeler" as my smallest kitchen knives didn't work well. I got the box open and the pieces were not in a sack. I put about ten at a time on my table separating by colors and borders as usual. When I finished the puzzle. a piece was missing. I've looked everywhere around the table and in the room. There is nothing more exasperating than finishing a puzzle with a missing piece. Maybe I lost it and maybe it wasn't in the box. I would feel better if the pieces had been in a plastic bag that I had opened. The pieces are very thin but the picture is absolutely beautiful!

I tend to prefer puzzles that have a nice picture, and puzzles that I can put together by the picture, and not have to strain over the various shapes of the pieces. I loved the picture and colors on this puzzle -- I love the water, dolphins,..... It was not overly difficult, which I like. I could relax as I put it together, and didn't leave it with major eye strain. Buffalo tends to have some of the brighter colors in their puzzles, with vibrant pictures. I highly recommend this puzzle.

This 500 piece puzzle was a delight to put together because the colors are so vibrant and there are so many areas of nature's beauty to enjoy (as opposed to some puzzles that have way too much dull, drab background). This is a puzzle we will look forward to doing again and again.

Was not very happy. Wishing 10min of opening I knew a piece was missing. I always separate the edge pieces and one was missing. Frustrated me the whole time. This particular image is a bit had with lots of the colors being similar.

This puzzle stands up to Buffalo games standards. The picture is so pretty and not too hard and not too easy. Love the Amazing Nature series!
