Ravensburger Photo Puzzles

Photo jigsaw puzzle from Ravensburger

A jigsaw puzzle board printed with your own photos is what we call a photo jigsaw. Now, that sounds pretty simple. However, making a jigsaw means assembling hundreds of oddly shaped pieces so as to complete a whole picture without leaving any gaps. Moreover, Ravensburger photo jigsaw puzzles are made of flat interlocking cardboard pieces that come in sets of 500, 1000 and 2000 units. Adding your own personal photos to the surface of the jigsaw - especially if no one has even seen them before - makes the photo jigsaw challenge even more interesting and demanding.

A photo jigsaw puzzle is one of the most popular gifts for children and adults. Whether for Christmas, christenings, birthdays, weddings or housewarming parties, personalised jigsaws are challenging and entertaining to make. Once the picture has been completed, they can be put up on the wall and be displayed as a real piece of art. Your best selfies, fresh captures from last holidays or oldest album photographs can be now reprinted in the form of a thrilling photo jigsaw table game.

A jigsaw photo puzzle with 1000, 2000, 500 and 100 pieces

The Ravensburger photo puzzle is available in three different sizes: a 100-piece jigsaw measuring 19.2 x 14.1", a middle-sized photo jigsaw with 500 pieces and 19.2 x 14.1" dimensions, a large jigsaw puzzle with 1000 pieces in 27.5 x 19.6" size and an extra-large puzzle with 2000 pieces that measures 38.5 x 29.5".

1000-piece personalised jigsaws, as well as the ones with 100, 500 and 2000 pieces are delivered in a special jigsaw gift box with the photo printed once more on the lid.
In case you prefer to keep the motif a mystery for the person receiving the gift, you can simply cover it up and let the other person figure it out.

The smaller the photo jigsaw puzzle, the more difficult it is to make. If you want to know how to make a puzzle in a record time, follow these steps:

• first of all, find a suitable place to assemble the jigsaw puzzle, for instance a big table or the floor;
• distribute the jigsaw pieces across the space and turn them over to see their different designs;
• look for the edge pieces of the jigsaw puzzle; the rest can be put together according to their colour and shape;
• define the four corners of the photo jigsaw and continue with the contours; if you already have found a strip of pieces, it will be easier;
• have a close look at the image on the lid of the box and try to reproduce it;
• always try to assemble the easiest pieces first.

Making a photo jigsaw puzzle with your family or friends is a truly fun experience. Since the picture is always new, everyone will be intrigued to see what it turns out to be.

Personalised jigsaw puzzle 1000 piece

What's makes a personalised jigsaw so special is the possibility to customise different features and give it your own touch. Apart from choosing between a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle or a smaller one, it is possible to add text, create a photo collage with a group of images or change the picture layout from horizontal to vertical or vice versa. Combined with the genuine quality of the Ravensburger brand, your DIY personalised jigsaw puzzle becomes a real living-room highlight!

The reason why Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles are still popular

For more than a century, the Ravensburger toy company has specialised in jigsaw puzzles and table games. In a world where the game and entertainment industries are moving towards a digital environment - especially with video-games - Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles preserve the genuine hands-on experience of classical games. Furthermore, a Ravensburger jigsaw can be shared by two or more and lead to a pleasant chat. If it's been a while since you last sat down to talk to your children, making a Ravensburger puzzle with your own photos will offer the perfect excuse.
