Highly educational history themed puzzle
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020
The puzzle was very enjoyable. I'd never done a puzzle like this before. The puzzle is done in 3 stages. 1st, you do the base puzzle which is like any other puzzle I'd ever done. (720 pieces). The base puzzle shows San Francisco when most of it was undeveloped, but street names were defined. 2nd, you do the elevated top layer flexible foam piece modern puzzle that lays over the historical foundation. 3rd, you do plastic building pieces. But you don't just put them into precut holes. You put them in the order they were built in a specific order. And as you do, you get to see how the highrise architecture sprung up to the 2019 building skyline. It was visually educational and surprising to see the locations of what buildings came up next as I layed it out. I found myself intentionally pausing for a while to take in the view of the city with each new building I added. When I was done, I found myself already planning to chose and look for other cities that I could do for the same historical perspective all while doing puzzles that I love. The puzzle pieces were all high quality. Foam pieces were good. But they don't stay flat that well once you start inserting the plastic buildings. But wasn't too bad. Also. the plastic buildings were pre-molded and left on the plastic tree mold trees that one get's when you build plastic models. So when you seperate the buildings from the mold brackets, I had to get out my Exacto knife to trim the plastic burs. Not doing so would result in the burrs ripping through the paper top portion of the flexible foam pieces. So I did that for every building piece. That was a pain. But there was just no choice. The puzzle was really worth it.

The second foam layer was much easier and only took a hour or so to do. My only criticism at this point was sticking it down onto the first layer. In the end I opted to glue it down more securely.
The fun part was fitting the buildings in chronological order. Again the only criticism was the lack of detail on some of the buildings... Some were just plain and featureless But when all the buildings were fitted It looked superb and I was very pleased with it. However, a few weeks later I was looking at the wide open spaces, ie The Lower East Side, The Bronx (not part of the foam layer but still marked on the map) and decided to make some buildings of my own to 'fill in' the gaps and make it even more realistic. In the end I made over a hundred and fifty buildings of all shapes and sizes out of balsa wood, painted them and glued them between the existing ones. The result was a more realistic, crammed look of the real Manhattan. I suppose if their had been three hundred buildings instead of the one hundred and fifty or so, the price would have been much higher. Don't be put off with the set as it is... This is a great puzzle for young and old alike and I would recommend you buy this set.
