Great puzzle, recommend for everyone to do
This puzzle is great for excersizing your brain and fun to do when you're bored. I bought this for my friend's birthday and she finished in within a few days. The quality is good and nothing came broken. I bought the 100 pieces puzzle so it didn't take super long to complete. The size was smaller than I thought but then I remembered that it was only 100 pieces so that makes sense that it wouldn't be super big.

Fantastically fun challenge (but possible)
This was the MOST fun I've ever had putting a puzzle together. I wanted a challenge and something unique, and this puzzle fit the bill. The added layer of difficulty not knowing whether the piece in hand is oriented "up" or "down" was fantastic. The pieces were very well cut - there is some movement even when they are put together due to the material, but this doesn't take from the quality or experience.I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for anything to match this challenge! I hope to see a clearly impossible puzzle with even more pieces or a different spin.---Edit: May 2023I recently discovered the release of the 1000 piece clearly impossible puzzle. This was an even more satisfying challenge than the 500 piece. I started the puzzle on April 24th and finished on May 27th.If you know an avid, confident puzzler this is a fantastic gift. If you like to complete puzzles but you don't enjoy sorting pieces this probably isn't the challenge for you. My best advice for completing this puzzle in a timely manner is sort, sort, sort. I first sort out all of the edge pieces like any other puzzle. No worries...the creators have thrown in false edges AND corners. The border of the 1000 piece was the most confusing guessing game I've ever had to play.After your border is together (and hopefully correct), I sorted every piece by shape and orientation. Then it's process of elimination working your way inward. Patience is required. An eye for "funky shapes" is extremely helpful.I will say that I think the 1000 piece had more "it looks like it fits but it doesn't fit" moments than the 500 piece did. I also think the pieces were a little bit of a rough cut. I took to taking nail clippers and snipping off the jagged edges that sometimes prevented pieces from a snug fit. Yes, just like the 500 piece there is still some "wiggle" to the puzzle. This is just the nature of the material. It simply isn't going to hold together like a cardboard puzzle.The scariest moment of the puzzle was realizing I had "lost" a piece. I knew for sure because it was an inner false edge piece and I was down to less than 100 pieces overall. I counted up all of the edge pieces of that shape in my sort tray and on the board...I had 25 but needed 26 with the missing piece. Thankfully I had taken a picture of the initial edge piece sort. Counted in that photo...26 pieces. I was lucky to find the missing piece on the floor. I was even luckier it was the only piece that was misplaced.Overall this was money and time well spent (for me). I await the next jigsaw challenge. 2000 pieces? 5000? A girl can dream.

Challenging!
This puzzle is hard. But I figured that going in to it. I ordered the 5x7 version because I figured it'll be exponentially more difficult as the size increases.So, because this is a clear puzzle, not only do you have to figure out where pieces go based on the shape, but you also have to figure out which side is the side to be used facing up!The only negative as far as the product itself goes, is the pieces weren't a snug fit, so we couldn't always be positive that was the correct piece or not.All in all, it was a very challenging puzzle. If you like a challenging puzzle, this is for you!

THE redemption puzzle
Last year i got 3 puzzles for my mom and she joked how she finished each in one day. Well... i ordered the crystal version for my mother this year for Christmas and she finished it in 5, so much better.This review is for the clear impossible puzzle, that she has been working on for 2 weeks and the border is not even half completed. I would call this the perfect redemption puzzle! Incredibly difficult for someone who goes through a lot of puzzles!

Almost Impossible!
Definitely a challenge...but not impossible! Over the course of a few days it probably took us 8-10 hours to complete. Once you get into the zone of trying to find pieces based on their shape and texture it becomes somewhat meditative. I love that this is a pictureless puzzle. The plastic holographic pieces make it interesting and unique. We will definitely do this puzzle again and again. I won't show the finished product for those buyers that want to be 'surprised'.

False fits ruin it for me
It's cool cause it's hard I guess but there are a lot and I mean a lot of false fits. I found some spots where four or more pieces fit pretty good and there's no way to know if it's right cause even the for sure fits are not snug. So really it's kind of butt due to that. It's hard tho if you want to re try several different times till you figure out witch ones the false fits are. And the possibilities are endless cause there's lots of them!
