Think Fun Triazzle Picture-Matching Brainteaser (Dolphins) Puzzle for Ages 8 and Up (76491)

This butterflies puzzle is a fun challenge. It is one that can be done again and again. There are triangular shaped pieces that fit into a triangle shaped backboard. The permanent edges along the board have the design too, so that you have a place to start. Each side of each triangle has half a butterfly or butterflies. The trick is to fit all the halves together to complete the puzzle. Multiple pieces look as if they can fit in the corner spots, so its a matter of trial and error until they all get placed properly. Its like its a new puzzle each time. Ive really been enjoying it.

I first received a couple of these Triazzle puzzles when I was about 8 years old, and I have fond memories of solving them over and over. These are a little smaller than the puzzles used to be in the 2000s, but the same sturdy quality is still there. I’m so glad they are rereleasing them. There are some strategies to learn and it’s a lot of fun figuring them out. I even got to the point where I would time myself to see how fast I could solve one. I highly recommend placing all the pieces in a ziplock bag when not playing with it. This is also better for repeat solving because you won’t remember where any of the pieces belong. However, if you do lose a piece, the board is still solvable with just one missing piece. If you already bought your puzzle and are really struggling to solve, a good strategy is to start from one corner and work your way out. Pick out all the tiles that could fit in one corner of the board and try any combination that lets you keep progressing. It’s a puzzle on the process of elimination.

Looks like it would be so simple but it is not! One time I will pick it up and it almost puts itself together. The next time, I have spent hours on it and still don’t get it right! Good luck!

Got this for my 7-year-old son who is pretty good at puzzles. This was a bit harder, though he figured it out fairly quickly. All of the pieces are equilateral triangles so you have to assemble them using the picture alone which really encourages attention to detail and critical thinking. If youre looking to give your kids a challenge, try Triazzles.

This Triazzle puzzle is almost the same as one I had many years ago, only smaller. The frog design appears to be the same, however this puzzle is, I’d guess, about 50% smaller than the one I had in the 1990s. This is actually a bit welcome, as the issue with the larger Triazzle puzzle of the past was sometimes finding a place to store it flat. The puzzle appears simple, but once you dump all the pieces out you’ll find that it’s not quite as simple as it looks, and just when you think you may have the puzzle solved, you may find the last few pieces just don’t fit! It’s a fun puzzle, the only issue is once you recall where a few key pieces go, it does become a bit easier. Even now, years later when working with the puzzle, my brain still recalls where one key puzzle piece goes, however, it’s still fun to figure the rest of the puzzle out! The puzzle is made well of sturdy board material. The puzzle pieces fit snugly, the printing is good, and overall it’s a fun puzzle!

I should have taken the manufacturers at their word: it really is harder than it looks! This is very cleverly designed so that just when you think youve solved it, it turns out that you need to start over because you made a mistake right at the beginning. My wife grabbed this as soon as it arrived with an air of This is going to be easy. Two hours later she was getting pretty frustrated. I tried to help, but then I started to get frustrated too! This really is a head-scratcher. Unlike a conventional jigsaw, this clever puzzle misleads you into thinking youve gotten some of the pieces in the right place, on for you to later realize that you made some kind of mistake. I lent this to a friend who is an avid jigsawist--when I saw her two hours later she was still working on it. In short--this is really fun and deceptively difficult. I think Ill be buying the other two designs!

This is a cute & fun puzzle. I dont liek that it comes pre-solved, as I would prefer more of a mystery. The boarder design on this 1 makes it easier than the version I have that has no boarder & did not come pre-built to show you the answer. It will keep someone who likes puzzles entertained

Very fun but challenging puzzle. Took me quite some time to get it back together. Very sturdy cardboard frame and the picture is very nicely printed and detailed. Puzzles like these were always fun when I was a kid and they still are. I can see why they have sold so many millions. Highly recommended for kids or anyone that loves puzzles.

Think Fun Triazzle Picture-Matching Brainteaser (Frogs) Puzzle for Ages 8 and Up is super hard. The grandkids all gave up before completing it. And I had to use the picture, which of course was cheating, to get the pieces back in place so I could put it away. So many are similar, if you miss the first one, the rest just dont come out right.
