I bought this puzzle and realized early on that I had lost two pieces. I practiced radical acceptance and went on to complete the puzzle. That was months ago. I went on to mount the “finished” puzzle with the missing pieces. I got a lot of compliments because people actually thought it was intentional. Today I just found the remaining two pieces. I’m not sure how to carry on because I had already accepted and moved on with their loss. This has been a good exposure to acceptance for me.Besides that, the puzzle pieces link together very very loosely so I had to first make the border and tape it together because otherwise they’d just fall apart.
My grandma loves puzzles and I’ve had a hard time finding something that’s actually challenging for her. She was not pleased, but still excited, when I got her this puzzle.
I got this for my 8 year old Mensa grandson. He's loved puzzles since he could walk. The pieces are VERY tiny - smaller than an adult fingernail bed - but that didn't phase him one bit! There's a pattern on the back in black & gray and he immediately picked up on that, saying if the white was too hard he could match the pattern on the back. And he proceeded to do just that. The pieces are so tiny, I didn't even realize the pattern is of circles, squares and triangles! LOL He really likes it and also likes the glue that comes with it so you can save it forever.
This puzzle took forever and a day to finish and every step of the way was awful. It seriously took me and my wife over a month to finish it. Would totally buy again.
Bought this puzzle as a challenge for myself after having completed the 108 piece version. It should be known that the pieces (a) fit together very loosely and hence come apart very easily, (b) are rather small, and (c) only come in one shape (other than the edge pieces). What [may] save yourself from insanity is that each of the quadrants of this puzzle have different shapes printed on the back of the pieces so you can effectively divide this into four 250 piece puzzles. Additionally, you can use the printed shapes to help determine if two pieces actually go together.
Pro-tips: Separate all pieces based on which quadrant they go into. Then sort them by edge, horizontal, and vertical pieces. You can tell if the pieces are "vertical" or "horizontal" based on the pattern on the back of the piece, so separate them accordingly. In the case of the circle pattern pieces, where the printed pattern doesn't give any clues, use the width of the skinniest part of the piece: thinner centers are vertical, wider centers are horizontal. Then, I suggest taking one side of the edge pieces and, while they are disconnected, brute force chains/rows of connected pieces until you have no pieces left and then assemble the entire quadrant based on the completed rows. The reason you want to do it this way is because the pieces come apart far too easily which is why making chains is easier.
Rated 4 stars because it does seem like a quality puzzle and does live up to the name "White Hell". However, due to how loosely the pieces fit together, I am knocking off a star.
I bought this for my dad, since he loves challenging puzzles. It definitely delivered on that front. It took my dad a little over a month and a half to finish chipping away at it. When he finished, a piece was missing. There’s a form in the box to send away for missing pieces, but it’s only valid for Japanese residents. I contacted the company through Amazon and they were quick to make everything right. If you’re looking for a challenge and a great company, this is the puzzle for you!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Challenge and Fantastic Company

I love jigsaws like these where it’s a challenge to complete but this one is poorly made. 1) the pieces are extremely small 2) they don’t stay together and keeps coming apart 3) not fun at all 4) wish I can return but I waited too long and return window closed :(
Bought as a gift, girlfriend loves it. She's been loving the challenge of trying to put this together. Pieces really are tiny, like 1cm tiny, so if you aren't careful they could easily be damaged. It's not been completed yet so I can't say for sure about all the pieces being there, but so far so good.
2 Wochen habe ich für dieses "extrem" schwere Puzzle gebraucht. Es ist durchaus anspruchsvoll, aber macht sehr viel Spaß. Die Qualität der Teile ist überraschend gut und sie passen genau. Das vollendete Puzzle sieht schlicht und einfach toll aus. Nur der Kleber war meiner Meinung nach zu wenig. Das schwarze Gegenstück ist schon bestellt.

I bought this gift with next day delivery as I may have forgotten my friends birthday. You know it's going to be difficult when you open the box and every peice is unique. It's been sitting our office kitchen with about 2 weeks now and there's one quarter row of pieces put together. If you want a challenge or really want to annoy someone, get this puzzle.
