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

Think Fun Triazzle puzzles are fun but super challenging. Prepare to spend a lot of time figuring this one out! The puzzle pieces and board are thick and great quality.

I’ve had brainteaser puzzles like this before and have always found them to be fun and challenging. This ‘Triazzle’ by ThinkFun is no exception. It’s a great puzzle to have on hand. It’s big enough for a couple of people to work on together. And it’s challenging enough to be fun. The cardboard the puzzle is printed on is a little thin in my opinion. It makes the pieces a little awkward to deal with and they don’t want to stay in place on the board like they would if the cardboard was thicker. The butterfly design is a little hard to see being it’s rather small. But that nothing a pair of reader glasses won’t fix. I’m happy with this brain teaser puzzle and would definitely buy others in the series. I keep it in the RV, and it’s a great way to pass time.

My son and I did Puzzles when he was younger, but not recently. He thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. His words, “it was harder than I thought!” Would recommend.

This puzzle arrived quickly and is made of nice quality cardboard with vivid clear colorful printing- no odor. The puzzle board was shrink wrapped; however, the board arrived damaged on 4 of the 6 corners, the picture shows the plies of cardboard and the WORST of the damaged corners in the shrink wrap. I cant tell if the shrink wrap was too tight and split the corners-since the corners were exposed or if handing caused the damage to the corners- so Ill try to glue the multiple plies of carboard back together. I highly advise you to take a picture of the assembled puzzle prior to dismantling the pieces. It appeared easy enough...just 13 triangle puzzle pieces, but what makes this challenging is that 2 of the 3 sides may match multiple pieces. I passed this product to my husband to try and its been a half hour and hes still working at it. Just for my habit I will have to find proper storage for this puzzle board, a pouch or something, to keep all of the pieces intact and so the corners wont get damaged further from handling. Since I have 2 of these puzzles and will look to see if any more are available...I may just make a wooden storage box to house all of these triazzle puzzles to protect them and keep them together. The board measures 11.25 top to bottom and 12.75 side to side at its widest points. My husband did say that unlike regulkar puzzles without a perimeter, since this is recessed into a boundary board when you find youve placed a piece wrong it not easy to remove the one piece since there are no exposed edge so you have to pick the corner which may delaminate the puzzle piece. Overall, I would recommend these Ravensburger Triazzles. As for the cost...if you know whom the recipient is and that they enjoy and appreciate challenging brain teaser puzzles the price is right; however, I would not recommend this for someone that just enjoys a standard puzzle as they may get frustrated and not enjoy nor complete the puzzle- so for that the price wouldnt be worth it.

Such a cute puzzle for the kids . Please be mindful that this will damage fairly easily

The Think Fun Triazzle picture-matching brainteaser (dolphins) is a challenge for a child and a cool accomplishment when he or she is finished. The puzzle is well made (made in China by a subsidiary of Ravensburger). It comes in a frame to hold the pieces, which made putting it together a lot easier. The challenge is not to just assemble the parts, but to put them in the correct order so the dolphins and turtles are not “cut in half” by where it is placed. It is a lot of fun to put together and then it can be done again!

When I was a kid, my cousin had one of these puzzles (a butterfly version). I always thought it was the coolest thing ever; it only took me 25 years to get my own puzzle! I first worked on this puzzle while listening to some things, as I tend to concentrate better when my hands are busy. After a while, I had some time to just concentrate on the puzzle. Id taken a picture before I started (just in case) and am so glad I did! With all of the different frog legs everywhere, Id thought there were two pieces that fit in each corner. Id worked all the variations from there, but they didnt match. Looking back at my picture, it turns out there were actually other options (Ill let you figure out how many). ;-) Long story short, its a colorful, fun brain teaser for about 8 years and up. The puzzle is well made, and Im storing mine in a 2.5 gallon Ziplock so I dont lose any pieces. Have fun puzzling!

Im a full-time single parent and I work from home about 80% of the time. The summers are rough with no school, so there is a constant struggle to find things to keep my daughter busy. She loves doing jigsaw puzzles, so I figured I would give this a try. She LOVES it! She has been at it for about 2 hours now without a peep, except this thing is not easy! I might have to get another one of these when she figures this one out. Highly recommend getting this for your kiddos, especially if you are a work from home single parent like me! UPDATE: I now have one gripe about the puzzle. The answer* is glue to the back. Would be nice to have it as a separate paper. This is one of those puzzles you shouldnt use picture of the final product before assembly.

When I was a young teenager I had a cool puzzle that consisted of 9 square cards with half of a frogs body on each side of each square. You had to arrange the cards just right to complete the puzzle and make whole frogs and there was only one way to solve. It was super challenging but definitely worked your brain – so I thought why not give this one a try. This one is more challenging to me even as there are many more pieces and it REALLY works your brain. The game claims to be good for ages 8 and up. I can not imagine a child trying to solve this without getting frustrated or losing interest. Personally I think teens and adults are more suited – but what do I know – maybe I was a dumb kid. : ) It is challenging and pretty. It is printed and constructed well. Everything is contained inside the main outside triangle border. The only thing is that I do wish it came in a reusable sleeve for storage. It comes in plastic shrink wrap but once you rip that open it is gone and you just have the board and all the pieces. I found a plastic sleeve from something else and inserted it to store. Otherwise, this is such a nice game/puzzle. Would make a good gift for those that like puzzles and a challenge as well. I hope that you have found my review “helpful”. : ) Enjoy your day! : )

Had the pleasure of sharing this with my friends 12yr old daughter. She looked at the package and said, hmm, I like butterflies, its cute I guess. Oh its a puzzle?..oh thisll be easy. Well, after an hour she said, gee I guess this is a brainteaser, why didnt you tell me!?!?!?!...she eventually solved it, walked away and declared, I wanna try it again! This was also a big hit with a small group of my adult friends....was hilarious actually. Bottom line, fun for young and old. Enjoy!!
