I got this puzzle because I love the concept: put a puzzle together and win anything from $1 to $1,000,000! I really liked the idea of not only having something to do, but also having the chance to actually win something.
When you first open the box, you’ll see a slip of paper with a code that you’ll need to use to claim your prize once the puzzle is finished. Definitely take a photo of it, otherwise you won’t be able to claim your money! There are a couple of different strategies you can use to put the puzzle together, but I’d recommend taking the time to sort all of the pieces by color first and grouping them that way. Then put the border together.
Keep in mind – this puzzle is definitely hard, even if you’re the kind of person who’s really into puzzles and has done a lot of them. There’s no reference photo, and a lot of the pieces look like they could fit together, so you really have to pay close attention. It’s easy to think you’re on a roll and then you’ll have to take apart the section you’ve been putting together because you realize the pieces don’t actually go where you think they did!
That being said, I really liked the extra challenge, because it was fun to have the puzzle out on my kitchen table for over a week (I’d even work on it during my zoom meetings LMAOOOOO). But, it was also a great excuse to invite friends over! We made whiskey sours and spent the evening laughing and putting it together. It definitely adds and extra edge to any social gathering, especially since your typical puzzle doesn’t come with a cash prize! I had a lot of friends who just wanted to come hang out and put it together once I told them about the concept. It was definitely the best part of my week, and I couldn’t recommend it enough as a fun, new activity to do with your friends or family.

I bought this puzzle as a birthday gift for my husband because it seems like a great deal. The chances of winning a million dollars are substantially better than any lottery.Now I love a good puzzle, and with my ADD brain and hyper focus I can usually put a 500 piece puzzle together in an afternoon. I’ve done really challenging ones in the past and loved them.This puzzle isn’t challenging, it is the 7th level of hell.I should have known when we sorted the pieces and they all had the same color. I should have known when we tried to put the frame together and ended up with a straight line. I should have chucked it in the bin when I realized the cut was exactly the same for the pieces and there are pretty much only 4 shapes in the entire thing.To say that every piece fits together is an understatement. Not only do the shapes match and fit, but the colors are so similar that it makes it nearly impossible.I walked away the first night feeling like it was going to be hard, and a challenge but that I could do it. The second night when I still didn’t have the frame together I was less sure. My family started out helping me, but one by one they dropped off like flies. By the third day I was frustrated. My family started avoiding me, the dishes went undone, dinner wasn’t made, I’m pretty sure my husband was contemplating divorce or homicide. I came home from work and worked on the damn puzzle till I couldn’t keep my eyes open. This continued for two weeks.Any sane person would have given up by day 6. But I had put so much time and effort in I couldn’t give up! What if it was the one that won a million?!?I scoured the internet for a photo of the completed puzzle, I read countless Reddit posts, I obsessed over this stupid thing. I know, I have a problem but still… this thing couldn’t be worse.I finally made a break through just putting the middle bits together first. And built out from there. After and absolute nightmare of more than two weeks I sorta finished it. It was missing a piece directly in the middle and there were at least 5 pieces not in the right spots, but their correct locations were indeterminable. However, if you read the instructions they tell you not to worry about a few missing pieces because the QR code will still work. Also a red flag as to the quality but I digress.Lo and behold the QR code actually worked! We typed in the redemption code and….. $1. To say I was defeated, despondent, and extremely depressed, would be putting it mildly.But that’s not all! When trying to actually claim your prize they only ask for a phone number and email. No address, no name. Fishy right? I never got an email or text with my winings or at all. And don’t try to type in the code again because it says it’s already been redeemed. So it looks like I am not even going to get the dollar that I slaved 2 weeks for. I was going to frame it.This seriously seems like a scam. They don’t list winners anywhere. No one knows if they actually give away a million dollars. Perhaps it’s time for the people to revolt! I see a class action lawsuit in their future, and I think we victims would win punative damages for emotional distress.

Another reviewer summed up this puzzle exactly. If it weren't for the possible reward of a million dollars, we may have given up. If you are up for a challenge, go for it. As stated by others, pieces fit in several locations making it somewhat infuriating. The pattern is overwhelming to start. Couldn't even get the border correct to start with so just move on and it will be apparent later. Definitely the hardest puzzle all four of us have done for only 500 pieces. Challenge accepted! After several hours we hadn't made much progress. Definitely relate to the "Does it fit or doesn't it?" Be prepared to swap a few down the road as we had a whole section wrong for a bit. Best advice we have is to take breaks.
Made me question my existence! Best accomplishment and most painful process.
