Nice way to spend a couple of afternoons
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.

A toy to last a decade?
Wowsers, I can't believe how much this puzzle is selling for now. I got this as a present more than a decade ago when I was only ten years old, and it was probably $20-25 back then.
Anyway, I still have mine and it has been put together over and over throughout the years. The cardstock buttresses were the first pieces to go, but I don't consider them to be...

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.

Fun puzzle to put together with a friend., June 16, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
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.

Easy to build, May 25, 2006
Durability: Fun: Educational:
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!

Lots of FUN!, October 10, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
This was a joy to put together and is absolutely beautiful to look at. Took just a few hours to put together once I figured out how it should be put together. Fits together perfectly and strong and durable. I am amazed at how good it looks and it sits on my dresser for all to admire :) I want to definitely do more of these 3D puzzles!

Great puzzle!, September 30, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
This was the first time I did a 3d puzzle. My husband and I had a great time putting it together! We stayed up till 4AM to finish it!! I wouldn't consider it as advanced either. It's great for a beginner.
The pieces are very durable and fit together nicely.
We just purchased another one tonight. We can't wait till it arrives.

A toy to last a decade?, August 10, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
Wowsers, I can't believe how much this puzzle is selling for now. I got this as a present more than a decade ago when I was only ten years old, and it was probably $20-25 back then.
Anyway, I still have mine and it has been put together over and over throughout the years. The cardstock buttresses were the first pieces to go, but I don't consider them to be essential to the puzzle. They bend and wear out very quickly, but they were honestly more work than they were worth. When you try to insert the buttresses they tend to make the puzzle itself begin to collapse. Just ignore the flags and buttresses altogether.
The puzzle pieces, and I still have every one, have held up amazingly well. The glue is very strong. None of the paper has detached from the foam pieces. Oh, and the pieces are perfectly formed and fit snugly together. It takes just a few fun-filled hours to complete Notre Dame.
To make a long story short, I recommend the puzzle, just not the cardstock!

Teenager loves this puzzle, January 6, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
We ordered this 3D puzzle for our daughter who wanted it for her son who is a Senior in High School (in fact, he is going to be valedictorian for his senior class). She said that he loves to put these puzzles together.
He was excited to get it for Christmas.
I guess these puzzles take time and concentration. They are fun

3-D Notre Dame Puzzle, November 16, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Puzz 3D Notre Dame (Toy)
This was the first 3-D puzzle my 8 year old son put together. I didn't think he would be able to do it so I didn't want to buy it for him, but he insisted and I gave in. I'm glad I did! PARENTS: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR CHILDREN! Although the box says it's for 13 years plus, some younger kids are capable of doing it. Now this has become a hobby for my son. The detail and color of the puzzle is outstanding. When I took a picture of it after he built it, you can't even tell it's a puzzle. It looks great on pictures!
