Good Memories

This puzzle reminded me of my childhood at our cabin in Minnesota. I bought it to put together with my grandsons. Very challenging. Took me about 3 weeks to finish. Several times I was convinced there were missing pieces. Not so! The finished product is one of my favorites that I have assembled. I never had the opportunity to have my grandsons help me. I will disassemble and let them have some fun.
Thank you!

Color of puzzle

In the puzzle it appears the sun is behind the trees so in real life it would make sense that it would be a bit darker in that area however it doesn't work in a puzzle to make the color darker because you can't see the picture visually. Even if you have a puzzle where it is dark outside in the puzzle or there is dimmer lighting like for example a sunrise or a sunset where the sun isn't completely out you have to make the color in the puzzle bright enough so you can see the puzzle visually.

Thoughts on Beginners Luck

I liked the picture of this puzzle as I'm a musky fisherman. When I've looked for musky puzzles to do I've only been able to find two musky puzzles with scenery in the background this one being one of them. I prefer the scenery in the background with the musky puzzles as opposed to no scenery or in other words just the musky itself in the photo. It's too bad I can't find more musky puzzles with background scenery. I thought this puzzle was challenging enough for me to do and took me quite some time to do it.. There's a lot of detail in colors in the the individual pieces. One problem I did notice with it is that the color in it seems a little dim you can see the dimness in the picture on the puzzle box too. Due to that reason you can't see it as well visually especially in certain kinds of light. In the future I'll be making sure the puzzles I choose have more brightness so they can be seen better visually.

LOVED IT!

This puzzle is everything we look for in a puzzle and with the twists it made it even more fun. It was
difficult but well worth the time. We like it so much
we are going to frame it and give it to our son who is and avid fisherman. Big fans of PuzzleTwist and proud it is a Minnesota product!
