Got this puzzle for Christmas and right out of the box the pieces are warped and don’t lie flat. It makes it impossible to do the puzzle because when you put two pieces together they immediately pop out again. The pieces are too thin and cheaply made. If the pieces were thicker and would lie flat, it would he great. Until then, there’s no point in keeping this puzzle around if it can’t be completed.

Some of the pieces came bent and therefore would not remain in place. Expected better quality. Was somewhat difficult to figure out how to put together.

Horrible puzzle, poorly built

NewMom - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This puzzle is the worst. I did not know children’s puzzles could illicit such a strong response in an adult, but this one is awful. The pieces are not jigsaw and barely sit next to each other to “fit.” You need a perfectly flat surface to have a shot at success but it will likely end in a child’s frustration

Not cut will

The colors and graphics on this puzzle are nice, as well as the size of the pieces. The puzzle pieces, other than some of the edges, are not cut like a traditional puzzle so they do not "lock" together. Because of this, the pieces fall out of place easily, especially when doing the puzzle on carpet. The other complaint is the picture of the entire puzzle is not on the front of the box. You have to refer to a tiny picture on the side to see the what the finished product would look like. Wouldn't but again for these reasons (mainly the way pieces are cut)
Poor design and qyality puzzle

The puzzle is not made of puzzle like jigsaw pieces. But, it’s in the shape of continents or oceans and fits poorly. Kids get very frustrated trying to build it

I hate the way that this puzzle is cut. the pieces are curved instead of laying down flat and the way it is cut makes it impossible to put together. Otherwise Melissa & Diug has great quality and durable puzzle pieces!

Parts do not go together so easy as all pieces are bent. Really poor quality.

The puzzle pieces are not typical shaped and do not stay together and slide around, which is extremely frustrating for a child.
Frustrating!

Stonestar - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I wanted to love this because it’s a map of the world but my god was it frustrating trying to build it! The pieces aren’t normal jigsaw puzzle pieces so they wouldn’t stay fixed in place which wouldn’t have been such a big issue if the pieces weren’t all bent—making it harder for them to stay in place. 😫 So frustrating.

Opened this puzzle with grandsons and found the picture on front of the box was not the full picture. The full one on the side was so small we could not see where certain animals were. Very tough to follow with no full large picture. Can't believe you did this????

JHmom - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
Got this for my puzzle-loving kids. I thought it would be educational for them, but they just keep getting frustrated because the pieces slide very easily around. Only the outside pieces have regular puzzle connections, the continents just get pushed together. When you move one piece a little too far, you’ve now pushed four other pieces out of the way.

Has all Slavic countries in Asia (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus...). *Eastern Europe is still Europe. No biggie, unless you are or have inlaws from there. This error was pointed out by my 4-year-old. C,mon now!

Target lover - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
It’s very helpful for my 7 years old learning. The downside is the puzzle cannot lock to each pieces, so they move a lot and lost its shape. They are big pieces. It comes with the box and easy to tidy up.

Mamatofour - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
I really wanted to love this puzzle, but the pieces are cut in funny shapes unlike a traditional puzzle, making it hard to stay together since the pieces don’t actually fit together, they just kind of press up against each other. The fact that the pieces kept moving was incredibly frustrating for my child who is used to doing large floor puzzles.

We have had this puzzle several years and I love the colors and the fact that Siuth America, Africa and Australia are each one piece. However, the pieces are not designed to make it easy to keep the puzzle together. Even the exterior pieces come apart because they are different lengths and widths. It’s a lovely but frustrating puzzle.
