I love every puzzle in each category! That's a first for me with this puzzle series. The puzzles are so pretty, nice colors, interesting subject matter. Usually I find just a handful that appeal to me but I do own a couple of Just Puzzles.

I love every puzzle in each category! That's a first for me with this puzzle series. The puzzles are so pretty, nice colors, interesting subject matter. Usually I find just a handful that appeal to me but I do own a couple of Just Puzzles.

These are really nice images in this new collection, many are just lovely with soft vintage colors. It's nice stepping back in time and seeing something that conjures up a few warm memories. There's a nice assortment of cutout styles and puzzle sizes, and a good variety of features and options. They all make puzzle assembly more fun and your choices can increase your challenge. I find the Classic style puzzles more relaxing than the Mosaic.

This collection is a definite purchase that I know will please me, right down to the very last puzzle! Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on playing the demo on a Windows 11 PC.

Features and comments:

1. 189 images in 5 "chapters" plus a chapter to be opened later (number of images not known until opened.)

2. Two different puzzle cuts - "classic" features 7 different puzzle cuts with each cut having 12-1512 pieces (your choice) and - "mosaic" with an additional 8 different puzzle cuts each having a single number of ...Show more

Based on playing the demo on a Windows 11 PC.

Features and comments:

1. 189 images in 5 "chapters" plus a chapter to be opened later (number of images not known until opened.)

2. Two different puzzle cuts - "classic" features 7 different puzzle cuts with each cut having 12-1512 pieces (your choice) and - "mosaic" with an additional 8 different puzzle cuts each having a single number of puzzles available (from 32-160, depending on the cut selected.) The mosaic selections show as circular puzzles, but they are rectangular when you are working them.

3. Large number of options available, including setting a ghost image, which is the only way to establish a border for your puzzle.

4. Can save completed puzzles to your PC's "My Picture" file.

5. Pieces lock together but do not lock in place until puzzle is completed.

6. Cannot upload your own pix to make new puzzles.

Since none of the negatives in the points above are critical to me, I personally rate this game at 5 stars and give it a strong recommendation. Show less

I recommend this game!

First off, the images are lovely! Kudos to the developer for a perfect score on that. I also like the two modes of play -- mosaics are great fun, and this game does it extremely well. The variety of styles for mosaics and piece style/amount for the jigsaws is awesome, too.

What I found disappointing was that there are no drawers to use for sorting pieces. Yes, I can sort them here and there on ...Show more

First off, the images are lovely! Kudos to the developer for a perfect score on that. I also like the two modes of play -- mosaics are great fun, and this game does it extremely well. The variety of styles for mosaics and piece style/amount for the jigsaws is awesome, too.

What I found disappointing was that there are no drawers to use for sorting pieces. Yes, I can sort them here and there on the puzzle board, but I like using drawers, and I found that lack to be a near deal-breaker.. Also, the only option for seeing the picture being worked on is by a ghost image. I like to be able to use a pop-up image if I need it; to me, a ghost image spoils my fun.

This is, of course, only my opinion and those things may not be negatives for anyone else. It's still a beautiful game, with great features, and I recommend it to most players. I just need a few more things to make it perfect for me. Show less

'Zoom In' should be drastically increased

The puzzles are beautiful and I love them, but the 'zoom in' is so restricted that no details or subtle color variations can be seen when selecting a larger amount of puzzle pieces. Also, increasing the zoom significantly will help those with vision impairments enjoy your wonderful puzzles.

I recommend this game!

The selection of puzzles were 'right up my street.' I would've enjoyed most of the jigsaws, which is rare, compared to recent releases. I didn't notice too many repeats, from other games. Visuals were good, too. My pet hates are: puzzles with people dressed in costumes, posed, or make-up that looks slapped on. I could finish some puzzles. Others would freeze part way through.

The selection of puzzles were 'right up my street.' I would've enjoyed most of the jigsaws, which is rare, compared to recent releases. I didn't notice too many repeats, from other games. Visuals were good, too. My pet hates are: puzzles with people dressed in costumes, posed, or make-up that looks slapped on. I could finish some puzzles. Others would freeze part way through. I had to do a forced shut down, as task manager wouldn't appear. I found this extremely annoying. I am also very disappointed. A complete waste of my money. Apparently, according to emails, site doesn't support all games, using Win11! Why?
I recommend the game, for the variety, & puzzle quality. Show less
