I bought this for my father, who is disabled and always looking for something to do. He was completely engrossed and this game gave him great play for hours and hours. As you advance through the levels of difficulty, more of the interior of the Cathedral is available for you to explore. There are also many historical facts, video, and games to play once each level is assembled.

I played my dad's copy once and was hooked! Had to go out and purchase one of my own, and I'm giving some out as gifts this year as well. Highly recommended.

This is engrosing, stay-up-all-night fun, the way jigsaw puzzles SHOULD be, along with a tremendously interesting historical tour of the Cathedral, some marvelous characters and a few great puzzles thrown in for kicks.

If you enjoy jigsaw puzzles, you will love this software. Fun, educational and a great challenge to find all the clues and stuff inside once the puzzle is complete. I've also completed the Neuschwanstein Castle, and have yet to begin the Victorian Mansion and Orient Express. The best part is, no lost pieces - great when you have 8 cats like I do. I can't recommend this software enough for the puzzle lover. Just get it!!

I really love putting puzzles together but I never have enough work space. The Puzz 3D for the PC is a great idea and lots of fun. I really enjoyed working on this Cathedral and learning the history behind it; things I never knew. If Teachers could only make learning history in the classroom this fun and exciting. I look forward to owning ALL the puzzles for the PC and hope they will create more puzzles soon.

The hardest of the Puzz3-d so far. The only I haven't tried is the Orient Express. The clues in this one are harder to find and decifer. Almost missed [a hidden part], and took forever to find the last clue. Great fun and hours of getting lost in Notre Dame. I'm hooked and can't wait to ride on the Orient Express. I hope these games keep coming.

I just finished the puzzle, and the exploration inside Notre Dame. My biggest suggestion is to SAVE often! It may have just been my Win95 computer but on two different occaisions, I lost all my work when the program caused an error and had to shut itself down. I would also suggest that you do the master level before going inside the cathedral with the key. If not, any of the puzzles you solve will not be solved on the next level. To save yourself the heartache of having to redo everything, wait until you are a master builder. Other than that, have fun! :)

My husband said that I was addicted when building Notre Dame and I agree that I was. Not only is this great fun but educational. I had not quite completed the Platinum level when we went to England. I found myself enjoying going through the big cathedrals there and was more curious about them because I had built Notre Dame. I don't think I would have found the cathedrals quite so interesting if I had not done this puzzle. I recently just finished the platinum level but did have to go to Wrebbit site and and get the final clue to free Esmeralda. The puzzle clues change on every level. What you find in the first is not in the same place on the last. Now I'm going to try Victorian Mansion.

This puzzle was challenging in a different way as the assembled sections were not all flat. This made you think differently while matching puzzle pieces. As far as solving the mystery, I'm still working on this one. Highly recomend all Puzz 3-D if you're a puzzle lover.

I had problems with this game. I chose the beginners' level and put together most of the puzzle only to find some sections missing. I sent Wrebbit an email and got a reply that maybe the missing pieces were under a window on the table. I checked and replied that the pieces were not on the table. It has been two weeks and I have not heard more from Wrebbit.

Also, I found the use of the display to be very poor. I have an XGA screen, which I think is now pretty standard. The program used only a VGA (640 X 480) window in the middle of the screen. To compensate for the lack of screen real estate they have a complicated system of procedures to scroll the small window over the tabletop. It would be much better if they used all of the real estate on the XGA screen and simplified the complicated procedures.

I thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle and gradually increased the difficulty as I grew accustomed to manipulating the pieces and connecting the sides. Having recently visited Notre Dame, I had a ball putting together this puzzle and look forward to trying the others by Wrebbit. Working this puzzle requires a good computer and, as another on-line reviewer noted, frequent saves to prevent lost work. The software taxes the computer memory and sometimes causes crashes. I've updated my machine since playing Notre Dame, so, now that I've ordered Bavarian Castle from Amazon, I'm hoping the new puzzle will be better tolerated by my hardware.

Good luck to all who love a challenge!
