Maps International USA 500-Piece Puzzle

This puzzle was a lot bigger then I was expecting, it's about the size of a normal 2000 pc. It was very easy to put together and only took about 1.5 hours. Some pegs were bent but I just bent them back. This would make a great picture for the kids room or a classroom puzzle as a teaching guide. The pc. are very big and you won't have to worry about losing them.

I am a puzzle junkie, I love to build them in my spare time... and I also love geography. This puzzle is made well, the quality surprised me, however one side of the box ripped. The pieces themselves were great. Fun puzzle, good to spend a friday night.Also great to watch my Canadian friend try to learn the states of America.

So glad I took a chance on a puzzle manufacturer I had no experience with and almost didn't get. This is a 500 piece puzzle with large pieces, the colors are clear and it has distinctive lettering for all the cities.I did have a little trouble with the size of the format though. 24x36 is pretty huge and I had to use a 30X40 board as it was the closest I had that would fit it . Also, when I opened the sealed plastic bag inside the heavy and durable box I got an odor from the big heavy duty pieces. A few pieces had slightly bent tabs, not too bad. Once the thick pieces were out of the bag a few hours the smell aired out of them.The finished puzzle is really nice and everyone stops to study it and point here or there, talking about having been or going to this place or that. I love map puzzles and now know a lot of cities in the states as well as where the states are located.

The boys, ages 10 and 13, had fun working on this puzzle. It was challenging, but we were able to put it together over a period of several days

This is a simple but a great game/learning tool for kids.I wish I had it when I little. Every child should be fully aware of every state in the union...50 states making up our great United States!

It's a nice puzzle, take note that it was to big for a standard card table so make sure you have a place to assemble it

Loved putting this puzzle together with my 13 year old. It was a great way to review the US geography.

I bought this puzzle yesterday and finished it with some friends. The dimensions are big (almost 1m x 0.5m), the details on the pieces are very good where you can see the number of interstates as well as big cities. The quality of the material itself is not that perfect. The puzzle by itself is not that hard for people that are familiar with puzzles. It would take around 6 hours for an average human to complete. I would definitely recommend it for someone who is trying to learn to name the states.
