Ceaco - Puzzle Shapes - Turtle - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

This puzzle is far from your standard jigsaw puzzle. It's shaped like a turtle and the pieces are not all typical looking puzzle pieces. For example, there is a heart shaped piece with no interlocking parts. It just sits in among the other pieces. I believe the idea is to glue it all together when you are done so that those pieces don't pop out. It's more challenging than the typical puzzles and it looks more like an art piece when it's done. I love it!

I love puzzles. I have put together so many puzzles and even a few times each. I needed something new to try and I came across this turtle shape puzzle. I thought wow that looks interesting and maybe a challenge as well. My sister and I like to do puzzles together and we thought we should try this one. It was challenging but not impossible. I love the bright colors and the pictures inside the turtle shape. Highly recommend.

Three of us sat down to assemble this puzzle which turned into a two night puzzle. Not easy because of the irregular edge but endless enjoyment. It has small sea creatures pieces in the design which added to the enjoyment. Will buy more of this series loads of fun

This puzzle is beautiful a little more on the difficult side but my daughter and I really enjoyed it. 2 days later we had it done and it's gorgeous. I think the multiple odd shapes is what really threw us off we are use to traditional puzzles lol. Overall 10 out of 10!

The pieces of the puzzle are not the traditionally shapes pieces you normally see. And puzzle has "Easter eggs" pieces as part of the mix. I love assembling a Ceaco "Shapes" puzzle. Great fun. And it has enough difficulty to make the the enjoyment last. I recommend it to anyone you enjoys a non-traditional style/shape puzzle. it's a keeper. I am looking online for a different Ceaco puzzle now.

I really love puzzles. I have probably over 200 of them. Most of them I buy at Walmart in store. There's enough variety of brands and styles at Walmart that I generally don't go out of my way to purchase puzzles online or look for obscure brands. I saw this brand was Ceaco and the number one thing I dislike about Ceaco puzzles is they tend to be fuzzy images. This puzzle also had fuzzy images in my opinion although not as fuzzy as some of the other Ceaco lines like T. Kinkade. There's only so much fuzzy muted pastel coloring I can take in any given puzzle. I prefer sharp edges, lines and brighter colors. The puzzle box itself was very nice, smooth, opened easily and did not have to use a knife or have any cut box areas. There was very minimal puzzle dust and the pieces came in a bag. The poster included was a good size and gave enough detail that it did help me. This is the first puzzle I've done that's not a standard rectangle shape. I really liked the unique cut! It was quite a challenge but not frustratingly so. I prefer to keep puzzles at 1000 pieces or less for space reasons so I'm looking for more challenge without simply increasing piece count. This puzzle had many small and odd shaped pieces in addition to the several special pieces that were shaped like a heart, dolphin and turtle. The entire puzzle can't be picked up because of the pieces that don't interlock. But, many areas did have a chunk of 10-15 pieces that were all interlocking and those chunks could easily be picked up by one nub and moved around the board as needed. So the interlocking pieces did lock into place. The pieces were average thickness. No real satisfying snap but they did lock in securely. I had only 3 false positives the entire puzzle and that was me trying to work in dim light while tired. Would I go out of my way to look online for this brand and style in the future? No. Would I look for other shaped puzzles at Walmart while buying weekly groceries? Yes. And Ceaco and their fuzzy puzzles are a preference thing and even I'd give it another try.

The Ceaco Turtle Puzzle has vibrant colors. The puzzle shape is different too. We enjoyed the fish in fish design.The curved out line of this turtle puzzle is challenging. This makes putting it together more interesting. It took us several days to finish putting it together. This puzzle is great for bringing the family together for hours of play time.

500 pieces....yes, I am surprised with the huge number of jigsaw puzzle pieces in the box. Turtle is the best marine for the kids to play with. My toddy has the plush toys of turtle and was surprised to have this puzzle. The elder brother teaches him how to play with it and they take hours of fun time to play with it solving the puzzle. I am happy with the puzzle and yes we can also think it a good gifting idea for any occasion.

My family's been in a puzzle craze since the pandemic and this has been the best one we have gathered around in a while! The puzzle pieces are nicely cut, sturdy, and virtually dust-free just as described in the product description. The matte finish and the vivid color of the printing make this puzzle really stand out. There is no glare to the picture/pieces, so you can see so clearly without worrying about what light you have. And I love that it comes with a little poster of what the completed puzzle looks like. It is on our kitchen table so that whenever someone passes by and gets the urge to they can give it a go when they have a few spare minutes.

The irregular shape, but more importantly the multiple images inside the turtle make it a very difficult puzzle to solve. The pieces are smaller than expected, but after making mistakes and taking the pieces apart, some of them have began to peel apart. This would not survive 5 minutes with rough kids, the pieces are too delicate. This would be aimed to very patient adults in my opinion.
