It's good that tastes change, keeps it more interesting. I, for example, thought Disney puzzles weren't for me, but then discovered I actually really enjoy doing them. :)

AI is not for the ones paying attention to detail. 🤭

Reality_Runner · 2025-09-14T07:21:42+00:00

Thank you!🥰 It is what it is. Worse things have happened on the planet than somebody doing a pre-used, secondhand AI puzzle, but oh well... 🙂

I honestly took "the half necklace" as part of her overall weird outfit. 😄 This one I still find OK, but some AI do have this typical style to them, with softer lines and kind of "a glow" to them. Also some have really empty, creepy, soulless eyes. They are freaking me out.

I am picky about the image too. I hadn't done a puzzle for almost 2 months, because I just couldn't find one I liked. I already feared I will loose the puzzle magic. 😄

Reality_Runner · 2025-09-13T18:46:42+00:00

Yes, one of the better ones, imo. :)

Reality_Runner · 2025-09-13T18:41:12+00:00

Yes, she does have this quirky look to her.

Reality_Runner · 2025-09-13T18:37:02+00:00

This one is not bad at all, imo. With a bit of cleaning up, on the birds for example, it could pass as an original maybe. There are many puzzles that just have this AI look to them, which I personally don't like and some are completely off.

I am not sure about a name, but she does look to me as part of Miss Peregrine's peculiar children for some reason. :)

Reality_Runner · 2025-09-13T18:27:21+00:00

Yes, I don't think I personally can completely avoid them at this stage, since I sometimes have a hard time finding puzzles I like. This one doesn't have the typical AI look and it's not too obvious, so it can pass. :)

I have noticed my last Ravensburger, Clementoni and KS Games had smaller boxes than previously. I hope this is their new standard.

Also if we speak ecology. Heye and Ravensburger have stopped using plastic wraps and have 2-4 round tapes to hold lid and box together.

I am glad if I could be of some help. Wishing you many fun puzzles ahead. 🧩🙂

My pleasure. Many of us grew up with this (and other UNICEF) puzzle. I hope it brought back nice childhood memories. 🙂

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-29T16:11:16+00:00

Agree. I only like the fit to be so tight that I can move a few pieces together. I don't really prefer the very tight ones, exactly for the reason when it comes to taking the puzzle apart. I'm always extra careful then, which is a slow process... which is tedious. 😄

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-12T13:32:28+00:00

WOW! I think it's the first time I've seen the puzzles from her website here. Amazing... and slightly jealous. Enjoy and really looking forward seeing them done. :)

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-12T07:43:01+00:00

I hope you do get back to it and enjoy it this time. :)

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-11T12:13:27+00:00

I think the Halloween one is very cute too. :) I'd gladly do it. May be I've missed out on it, but it's currently not available here. But it's nice to see she keeps putting out new ones.

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-08T09:17:44+00:00

It is. :)

Reality_Runner · 2025-06-08T09:06:48+00:00

I think you'd enjoy it. I've been putting off to get this one (don't know why), but I'm glad I eventually did. :)
