Review: A good challenge! - Let me start by saying I haven’t completed a puzzle in about 20 years. I would consider myself a beginner in the world of complex puzzles. Don’t overestimate yourself with 1000 pieces like my husband and I did. He is not the kind of person that likes walking away from projects unfinished and is easily overstimulated. If you’re that kind of person as well, this might not be the puzzle to start off with. My husband did not end up finishing the puzzle with me😂 On to the review! Very pretty puzzle once complete. I worked on it about an hour a night (missing a couple of nights because life) over the course of 3 weeks, and definitely can say it was well worth it. I don’t like how therapy is structured, so this was a great way for me to self reflect while feeling like I was accomplishing something. Was super sad to see that I am missing a single piece, and Buffalo Games website seemed pretty inconvenienced about requesting a replacement piece. I’ll take the time to create a new one myself for sake of time, as we hope to do a glue up for display. Overall, very happy with this purchase!
Review: Great puzzle - Was hard but not too hard!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big are the actual pieces?**
A: 3/4 inch pieces - about 6 different cuts.  normal size pieces for 1000 piece puzzle.  I buy a lot of Buffalo Games puzzle for the quality of the pieces.....not top of the line ravensburger but great puzzles for the price.  I've made 100's of Buffalo Games puzzles.  This is a challenging puzzle, working on it now.

**Q: Is this puzzle of an actual photo?**
A: I think it is a photo. I am not a professional photography analyzer! but it looks real to me.

**Q: Does this puzzle have the cheat letters on back?**
A: It's been a little while since I built this puzzle. As far as I can remember there are no "cheat letters" on the back. I have never referred to the "cheat letters" on puzzles I've built. At one time I would not buy those puzzles, but I gave in because there are some nice difficult puzzles with those letters. I just don't peak!

**Q: Do the prices come in a bag? My box was glued shut but the prices were not in a bag and I'm worried I have a returned puzzle**
A: All my Buffalo Games puzzle boxes are glued and the pieces are not in a bag.  I have never had a missing piece…and I have done many puzzles.
