Wellen-Puzzle (1000 Teile)

This is a great intro to gradient puzzles design! I love gradients in general, and was able to complete this fairly quickly. The sorting, and assembling in sections is very satisfying. The pieces fit nicely and the finished puzzle is so beautiful.

Great puzzle! We had it delivered yesterday and managed to put it together in few hours (we could not stop until it was done :))
I might be getting another one soon :)

Ein tolles Puzzle, dass viel Spaß gemacht hat. Die Farben waren sehr gut zu erkennen, nur bei den Pastelltönen wurde es etwas knifflig. Insgesamt sind die Teile Recht gut verarbeitet nur manchmal franzen sie leicht aus bzw. sind wirklich schwer zuzuordnen. Ich hatte viele Teile die exakt so aussahen als würden sie passen und später musste ich doch wieder umbauen. Aber irgendwie hat auch das etwas Spaß gemacht :)

I’ve done a lot of 1000+ piece puzzles and this one has been enjoyable. It’s a very relaxing puzzle and not difficult assuming you can differentiate colours. The pieces are relatively standard, and not many false fits.

However, comparing to Ravensburger or Eurographics, the cut is quite poor and I had a lot of pieces that were torn underneath or not cut through completely. The board is also noticeably less dense and thinner. There was a lot of dust and this stuck to the pieces a lot more than I’m used to. I had to wipe the completed puzzle over to remove it.

I’d probably buy another Cloudberries puzzle, but they seem to be a lower quality for the price compared to Ravensburger, Gibson and Eurographics.

Picture quality 4/5
Cut quality 2/5
Difficulty 2/5
Enjoyability 4/5
Packaging 4/5
Materials 3/5

This was my first gradient puzzle; I liked it so much I have a couple more now! For a more challenging gradient build the second time, I like to divide the pieces into ten piles of randomly selected pieces, then try to fit as many as I can from each pile before going on to the next one (as seen on Karen Puzzles). Very satisfying 🙂
