University Games 33122 Death on The Istanbul Express 1000 Piece Murder Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle, Orange

Difficult jigsaw but great fun we have more than one !

I enjoyed the puzzel till I got to the end and found a piece missing was not happy, other then the missing piece I enjoyed the story and working out who did the murder.

A bit disappointed in the packaging quality as the box had a rip and the booklet was crumpled up in the box. Overall though I enjoyed the challenge of completing the jigsaw without an image reference.

Bought this for my sister-in-law, who loves a puzzle and also loves a mystery. Looks like a great challenge!

Really good fun loved the mystery element and not knowing what the puzzle looked like is a great idea

got them whileeee ago, put away and totally forgot. did yesterday and it felt nice not to see exactly what's gonna happen, especially with such as easy pic, not really mystery solving puzzle, but nice few hours passed, that said.... got super irritated when after few hours of doing them I couldn't finish as there was a piece missing, box seemed sealed, but no as hard like other puzzle that I got in the past, I can see someone had similar issue with right top corner missing so I guess they just don't pack them properly, wish I did them straight after buying so could send back as now I have this feeling of frustration left behind... being perfectionist it really ruined my evening... not recommending

Given as a gift; reported to be good fun, however intact packaging was missing pieces.

Multiple pieces that are faulty

I added an image because I’ll admit there were moments where I got frustrated and wished I could take a quick look to get an idea of what the puzzle was. BUT with that being said, really the part that I loved was that I DIDN’T know what the image was. Once I got a decent amount put together, I couldn’t stop working on it. Took me a little while to do but this is the first puzzle I’ve done probably ever, beyond small ones when I was a kid. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and loved the mystery of not knowing what the final image was. The story was eh, but reminded me of the Poirot mysteries which I love. Bought another from this brand as soon as I finished this one and can’t wait to get started on it! Only con - I had one corner piece missing, but honestly I moved the puzzle around the house on a board to work on and could have lost it along the way so I won’t fault the manufacturer on that and it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the puzzle.

I can't speak to the quality of the jigsaw, as it's a gift for a friend. But I can say that shipping was fast and it arrived in perfect condition.

The puzzle itself is pretty challenging, particularly with no referencing materials. It has lots of similar colours and patterns across the picture so splitting pieces into sections is tough. The picture also takes time to fully emerge and it’s not clear at all what you’re making. Took two of us around 6hours of concentrated effort.HOWEVER the story and prologue sets the expectation you’ll be solving clues within the puzzle to crack the case and find the murderer and this doesn’t really happen. You essentially complete the puzzle and the answer is just there in front of you. No deduction needed.It’s a fun concept and it kept us entertained, but I’d set expectations that’s it’s a story and a puzzle, rather than some sort of murder mystery.

I really enjoyed doing this puzzle. Similar to the Titanic one in the same series it contains beautiful patterns and colours. I found this one slightly easier than the other but still challenging enough to enjoy. I really liked the unusual shapes to several of the jigsaw pieces that helped to make the puzzle interesting. The mystery was an easy one to solve but fun anyway. There were no pieces missing from the box.

Cant send a pic because the puzzle has the clues to the murder... So... you put this puzzle together without a picture ! Just adds to the challenge !
