Ravensburger at The Dog Park Large Format Jigsaw Puzzle - 500 Unique Pieces | Anti-Glare Surface Ideal for Kids and Adults | Perfect for Gifting

What a fun, high quality puzzle! It was challenging but in a good way. Loved piecing together all the cute dogs.

We love the Large Format Puzzles from Ravensburger. The quality is amazing and if you're an avid puzzler, I highly recommend this brand. Our family particularly likes the large format, especially my kids. I find these puzzles are a great way to stimulate our brains and enjoy it at the same time. It also gets my kids away from the electronics without much of a fight. The pieces connect smoothly and the back is fuzzy. Which makes them great to put together if you have a puzzle board. The only thing I would note is when you open the puzzle pieces for the first time, so it on a surface that is easy to clean. There will be very fine blue particles (from the backing) that may not be as easy to clean up on certain surfaces. However, its very easy to wipe up on a smooth hard surface.

This is a tough puzzle ... but pieces are, IMO, sized just right and well-defined.

Let's begin with the quality of the puzzle itself. Ravensburger... the name says it all. This is a high-end quality puzzle with well-cut pieces that interlock together well and are of a decent thickness. The "large piece" design is awesome... I can't remember the last time I didn't have to use a magnifying glass to examine pieces (hey, my eyes are over a half-century old, gimme a break!). Because the pieces are large-sized, the completed puzzle ends up being about the same size as a normal 1000-piece puzzle, even though it has half the pieces. And the finished puzzle is fun to look at, with crisp clear colors and no peeling of the image film off the cardboard pieces or annoying "fuzz". And of course the picture itself is just a doggone fun theme.Now as for the task of assembling the puzzle... it might only have 500 pieces, but it was a little challenging (IMO); not to the point of frustration or where one would accuse it of being too difficult, but you certainly have a feeling of satisfaction after completing it. If I was to make a very rough estimate, I'd say it took 40% longer to put together than an average 500-piece puzzle.Challenge aside, it was an enjoyable puzzle to put together with a great theme. I hated dismantling it.

I found this puzzle to be very difficult. There was so much grass, and the some of the pieces weren't very distinct. It took me quite a few hours to complete. As far as the quality of the puzzle, I thought it was very nice and the backing was very sturdy. I wish it would've come with a large color poster inside, as the Charles Wysocki puzzles do. The picture wasn't really big enough and detailed enough, as the edges were cutoff a bit. I did finally finish it and it's very nice.

My husband, 6 year old son and myself had so much fun with this puzzle. It is such a cute puzzle and especially fun if you love dogs. We also really liked the large pieces. Highly recommend.

Ravensburger makes great puzzles of good quality. This image was fun and challenging to work on. We all enjoyed it. About 2 hrs for 2-3 person novice puzzlers to complete.

High quality pieces, beautiful colors and so much fun to see it develop as you put it together. We are newer to puzzles and we found it not too hard but yet challenging. The pieces are durable and fit together well. Get it, you'll love it. Makes a great gift to pass on to your puzzling friends.
