Troubleshooting
Missing puzzle pieces
While rare with high-quality puzzles, if you suspect pieces are missing, double-check the box and surrounding area. Contact Eurographics customer support if pieces are confirmed to be missing.
Pieces do not fit well
Ensure you are using the correct piece. The 'smart cut' technology is designed for precise fits. Verify the piece orientation and try slightly different angles. Check if the piece belongs to a different section of the puzzle.
