This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
Wrebbit's Notre Dame does everything I expect from a jigsaw puzzle. It comes together in a logical way so that things just start clicking at the end (sort of like in a good novel). It has a nice balance of visual cues and mysteries. And the result is attractive enough to display for a while.
I am not sure it is "Advanced Level" as the box suggests. I haven't put a puzzle together for years and I was able to work through this with only an enjoyable level of difficulty. The instructions cleverly force you to work with diagrams of blank pieces for various sections of the structure and color pictures that never seem to show you exactly the view you want. Between the shapes, colors and logic of the building, you figure out the rest. As a result my experience was full of those wonderful surprises: Oh, THAT's where that belongs!
The result has a clever balance of 3-D and 2-D detail that looks pretty convincing from a few feet away. It has been on my dresser for several days, and I have already begun work on the Eiffel Tower.
I really recommend this for adults that want to both relax and challenge their spatial skills.

Easy to build, May 25, 2006

This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
Quite a bit smaller than the picture on the box would have you think, but the price should be a clue.
I would say that this one was very easy to build, finished it in 1 day on and off. The paper "flags" were very fiddly and I left them off the model.
Overall, a very nice 3D puzzle. It lets me see Notre Dame in 3D which I've heard of ever since I was a kid; now I don't have to go to France! Highly recommended for even beginners!

This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
My husband and I put this together last night. We enjoyed ourselves. We've done three 3D Puzzles so far and I'd say this was a lot easier and less time consuming compared to Neuschwanstein Castle, which has 3 times the pieces. My husband and I look forward to putting more of these together. I wouldn't rate this one "advanced" as the box states, because if you've put these together before you know some can takes hours and hours to complete. I'd recommend this puzzle to someone who has never put a 3D PUzz together before.
