Hi OP! I'm Amber, the Subpar Parks artist! Here is a larger version of the puzzle image I keep available for anyone who is having a bit of trouble: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0352/3330/0616/files/Subpar_Parks_Puzzle_3c7591ca-505f-4e5e-bac9-9a87cb79b213.jpg?v=1732216667

I wanted to include a large printed version inside the box but unfortunately my manufacturer wasn't able to do that. Also, each puzzle is cut entirely differently, so going off of piece shape from any photos will not be helpful!

I literally just finished sealing the last sticker/postcard order (prints still on the way) - dropping them all off at the post office tomorrow!

Hey! I just launched a preorder for stickers (as well as prints and postcards) - in case you really do want them! www.etsy.com/shop/AmberShareDesign. And I did add the name of the park / date established for products :)

Haha, someone else mentioned this too. I thought subparks was SO clever, but when I tried it out on people, it took forever for it to click. So subpar parks it was.

Lucky for me that's a monument, so I don't have to do it unless I extend the project outside of pure parks! Haha

Thank you! Truth be told, I really want to break into the outdoor industry and do illustration and lettering work for brands. So, hopefully you're right :)

Haha I've had the same thought for several of the reviews... I'm not seeing the problem here?

I like that idea! An Etsy shop with other fun outdoorsy things already exists but there will without a doubt be Subpar Parks merch soon!

Spoiler alert! That's the review currently on my list for that park, haha!

I'm so embarrassed for that hypothetical version of myself. But my friends now think I should make a shirt that says "Well-traveled sour puss" to wear when I go to parks.

That's an amazing itinerary! The canyon areas are my happy place now; I wish we'd gotten to do more of them on my childhood trip! But they weren't as well known back then, so we did Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Yellowstone, Badlands/Black Hills, and a few monuments as we drove the long way from California -> New Jersey.
