Troubleshooting

Missing or damaged pieces

Ravensburger typically has a customer service policy for missing pieces. Check the manufacturer's website for their 'missing piece' form or contact customer support for assistance.

Puzzle pieces not fitting well

Ensure you are using pieces from the correct section of the puzzle and that they are oriented correctly. Double-check the image for subtle color or pattern matches. Ravensburger's 'perfect interlocking fit' is usually reliable, so re-examine potential connections.

Difficulty starting the puzzle

Begin by assembling the border pieces. Then, group remaining pieces by color, texture, or distinct visual elements (like signs or specific objects) to build smaller sections before connecting them.

Glare interfering with piece visibility

Adjust the lighting in your room. Position the puzzle away from direct light sources or use a diffused light. The matte finish of the puzzle pieces helps minimize glare.
