The Awakened Artifacts • 1000-Pc. Puzzle by Magic Puzzle Company • Series 4

If you're new to Magic Puzzles, I can't fully explain what I love about them without spoiling what makes them special and unique. Just know that it's well worth your money, and you'll thoroughly enjoy the experience. SPOILERS FOLLOW.For everyone else, Magic Puzzles are everything I look for in a puzzle. For starters, the picture itself is wonderful. The image is interesting, the colors are bold, and the lines are sharp and distinct. There's no fuzziness or uncertainty like in other puzzles, particularly photographic ones. (Ever done a 1500 piece puzzle with large sections of sky or trees? Forget it.) The cut is also designed in such a way that significant elements get the proper focus (rather than being split over 3-4 different pieces), and while I can take or leave the few gimmicky piece shapes, my kids love those parts and enjoy putting them in at the very end.And speaking of the end, the ending of these puzzles is another reason I enjoy them so much. I'm willing to do 1000+ piece puzzles, but I tend to top out at 750; anything higher seems less like fun and more like work. But these are 1000 pieces, and they're perfect. The reason is the gimmick - you're not constructing one puzzle, but three separate puzzles, complete with three full sets of edges. And this one especially (along with some others, like The Forest Feast) has very obvious scenic subdivisions: you can work on the yellow section, or the blue section, or the green section - or, if you like, the ancient Egyptian section, or the space section, or the dinosaur section. It never feels like work because it's never frustrating. Plus, because of that secret addition at the end, the full puzzle is more like an 800-piece puzzle and a 200-piece puzzle. Everything about the design has been perfectly crafted to make the puzzle satisfying, not tiring.And there's still more to love, like individual pouches for the pieces, high quality components (both box and pieces), a sticker on the inside for keeping track of your completions, two separate fold-outs so multiple people can work on the puzzle at the same time, and a list of fun things to find in the scene once you're done. Really, not only are these Magic Puzzles everything you hope for in a puzzle, but they go above and beyond, including things that I never would have even considered but absolutely appreciate.Buy this. You'll be glad you did.

Got this as a gift for my partner, after she loved the Mystic Maze that we first had. She loved this one as well. The many edge pieces that are part of the different puzzle sections and unique to this company’s design make assembling the puzzle even more challenging than a typical puzzle. For my partner, she loves assembling the puzzle and trying to imagine the mystery story and resolution that comes from the final extra section. Having done two of these puzzles myself, that myself section had started to feel a little gimmicky, but hey, it’s not for me! The illustration is rad and the unique puzzle shapes are also engaging. Overall, a five star puzzle!

LOVE these puzzles!! The first thing I want to say, is do not let this puzzle scare you because it is 1000 piece. The variety of color, shape, and size make this puzzle a fun activity for the whole family. I put my last Magic Puzzle together with some of my younger family members (between the ages of seven and ten), and everyone was able to participate in piecing it together. Since then, I have used this puzzle as a gift twice and it was a hit. The way the puzzle reveals a "secret" at the end is, as well as its unique pieces, and I Spy-like illustrations make it a completely unique gift which has proven to be a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good gift or something fun to do with the family. This is not your everyday puzzle!

My wife and I love these puzzles! The quality is excellent. The puzzles come with two good quality posters of the puzzle so no one has to share. No more asking your partner to "pass the box".The pieces have the company name printed on the back. If you are not sure whether two pieces go together, look on the back and see if the printing lines up. So very clever!Also, the artwork is excellent and always have cute, fun things going on. When the puzzle is done, there is a list of "Easter Eggs" to look for. Kind of like a scavenger hunt that makes you find some cute things you may have missed.We highly recommend The Magic Puzzle Company.

We are working on this puzzle as a family and it is delightful! The puzzle pieces are non-traditional shapes, and a bit more tricky, as many look like an edge piece but actually go in the middle part of the puzzle. And yet, it’s not too hard to spoil the fun.

Best. Puzzles. Ever!!!!! I now own 8 of these and they never get old! The puzzles are fantastic with a fun reveal. Had to contact customer service once about a singular issue and they were on it! Quick and friendly!! Love the Magic Puzzle Company!!! Fun shapes and bright colors!!

We love these puzzles! The surprise at the end is always so fun. Fun art that has so many details, varied puzzle shapes, clean cuts, excellent quality in every way.

The puzzle had such a fun little unexpected surprise that just delighted me and my daughter. It’s not just pieces thrown into a box, the company made it feel like a whole experience. So much fun to open and even more fun to put it all together. The pieces fit seamlessly and the colors were rich. The pieces were a nice thickness too, not those cheap flimsy things you see sometimes.

Era para un regalo y fue un completo éxito. Por desgracia la caja vino con un golpe en el lateral y no lo devolví para entregarlo a tiempo

These are the craziest puzzles to do but so much fun . Got one for a gift and my husband and I ordered 2 more different ones . Best puzzles we have done .

Incrível! Um quebra-cabeça de verdade. Vc não sabe o que é borda, no que vai dar, e qdo termina tem outra parte e o qc muda. Incrível mesmo. Amei!

Really enjoyed doing this puzzle, colourful design with lots of Easter eggs to spot throughout and a really nice surprise at the end when the puzzle is finished!

Excelente, ótima experiência!
