FAQs
How many pieces are in this jigsaw puzzle?
This jigsaw puzzle contains 300 pieces.
What are the dimensions of the completed puzzle?
The completed puzzle measures 300mm in height and 400mm in width.
How does the glow-in-the-dark feature work?
The puzzle has a special material that absorbs light when exposed to a light source. When you then turn down the lights or enter a dark room, the stored light is emitted, causing the puzzle to glow.
What is the recommended age for this puzzle?
While not explicitly stated, a 300-piece puzzle is generally suitable for ages 6 and up, depending on the child's experience with puzzles.
Can I frame the puzzle after completing it?
Yes, once completed, the puzzle can be glued and framed. Its dimensions are 300mm x 400mm, a standard size for many frames.
How long does the glow effect last?
The duration of the glow depends on how long and how intensely the puzzle was exposed to light. Typically, the glow will be most prominent for a few hours after a good light charge.
What should I do if I have lost a piece?
First, thoroughly check your immediate surroundings and the puzzle box. If a piece is still missing, you may need to contact the retailer or Gift Republic directly to inquire about replacement parts, though this is not always guaranteed.
Troubleshooting
Puzzle pieces do not fit together well.
Ensure you are trying to fit pieces into the correct location. Check for any damage or warping on the piece edges. Sometimes, a slight manufacturing variation can occur; try gently wiggling the pieces.
Glow-in-the-dark feature is not working or is faint.
Expose the completed puzzle to a bright light source (like direct sunlight or a strong lamp) for at least 15-30 minutes. The effect is dependent on the intensity and duration of light exposure. Ensure the room you are viewing it in is sufficiently dark.
Missing or damaged pieces.
Carefully re-check the packaging and the assembly area. If pieces are confirmed missing or significantly damaged, contact the retailer or Gift Republic customer service for potential replacement options, if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required beyond opening the box and preparing a flat surface for assembly. Ensure the surface is large enough to accommodate the completed puzzle size of 300mm x 400mm.
Compatibility: This product is a standalone jigsaw puzzle and does not interact with electronic devices or require software. It is suitable for individuals aged 6 and above, depending on their puzzle-solving experience.
Care: To maintain the glow-in-the-dark effect, ensure the puzzle is exposed to adequate light sources (natural or artificial) for a period before viewing in darkness. Clean the puzzle pieces gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if they become dusty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the pieces in water, as this could damage the printing and the glow material. Store assembled or disassembled pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their integrity.
