Educa 14827 - The World, Executive Map - 4000 pieces - Genuine Puzzle

Takes time and perseverance, but certainly doable. Looks amazing once finished. No pieces missing, however took extra care when sorting and building. I recommend also buying containers and a puzzle matt. Took me over 30 hours to complete.Mounting to a wall will be tricky, so any advice on this will certainly be helpful.My suggestion for anyone contemplating this?...DO IT!! Start by sorting the pieces by oceans, land, flags, compass etc. Some pieces can fit into multiple locations (especially the edges), attention to detail is key. My only criticism is like previous comments. There needs to be a large sized poster to help with orientation, especially the right side where the box is covered by logo's. Thank you Educa.

I like its complexity that urged me for the first time to use Maps app for solving Africa and S America. Very strange shapes for the first time I met but I could deal with quite quickly. Still something...around 800 pcs to complete and what you can see took 1 month. Last 4000 took 4 months so much quicker for this last one as long as are lot of clear patterns to be fitted. Looking for the next one so big as this. All JP I ordered I got on time and in good condition. As a very small minus, one order placed last year in late summer has been lost but I got refund and placed again got it on-time.

Very challenging but nice puzzle to do. Quality is pretty good. The only issue for me is that the picture on the box is small compared to the puzzle so you need a magnifying glass to see the detail. Also the name on the box obliterates part of the picture

Really enjoyed doing this, it took us just under three weeks, evenings and weekends. Very educational, so much detail so although challenging, not as difficult as you may think.If like us your eyesight isn't what it used to be then I would recommend a good magnifying glass!The only downside is there could do with being a paper copy of the map in the box, you only have the picture on the lid as reference.

The puzzle arrived on time and in good condition. Took me about a month to put together. It was not as hard as I originally thought because the map contains loads of names and straight lines, which help a lot. Not only is the jigsaw puzzle a great fun but I also love the final result. Can't wait to hang the map up on the wall. (BTW, I did not know but this maker apparently sends out missing pieces to their puzzles. it's written on the box and they also claim to be the only company that does that. Just handy to know, I suppose.)

Beautiful jigsaw, thoroughly enjoyed doing it. The quality of Educa puzzles is superb everybtine: the pieces, colours, finish. No missing pieces (but they offer a "missing pieces" service) and it's just all good.Thanks again, Educa, for another lovely jigsaw

Love it, but hard going; addictive/compulsive. Bought as a present for my wife ... This journey required a cheap decorating table to hold four foam boards from de Hobby Shop (stuck together with Duct Tape). When this is finished (this year), we will "Mud Glue" & mount on the Lounge Wall ..This is a serious Jigsaw (not all pieces are traditionally cut (male/female: there are spoons fits - you will see) .. educational, fascinating & thank god for the internet ... a magnifying glass was essential (age related) ..No need to run/exercise when you're on this project'

The only fun parts to build are the flags, the 2 close ups of the arctic areas, the compass and the sign at the top. Once you've done all these areas you'll find it's a real slog of having to take each individual piece and seeing where it goes on which continent. Repeat this process 1000s of times and you have this jigsaw.
