The 500 photos are of castles/palaces or images that are somewhat related to castles/palaces, and are generally gorgeous. There are several options, including the ability to adjust the number of puzzle pieces, that make the game infinitely playable for all skill levels. I highly recommend this game, as well as the other games in this series.

I recommend this game!

These puzzles have some gorgeous pictures in them, but, after I put a pretty puzzle together, I like to admire the picture as if it was a painting. I DO NOT like it when the lines around the puzzle pieces are left and the picture quickly disappears. Also, the music is the same that we always hear. If you don't mind the lines left in the finished product and the same music, "Castles and Palaces" is full of really quality photos. I usually play my favorite classical music while I assemble puzzles, so that's a good fix, and I only took off one star for the lines left and the picture going 'poof' before I can take it all in. Give it a try, for sure! Show less

I recommend this game!

I'VE ASSEMBLED NEARLY ALL OF THESE CASTLE PUZLES IN A PUZZLE GAME THAT'S NEARLY 8 YEARS OLD!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with these pictures which are mostly castles and palaces from around the world, in fact, some are quite beautiful. They are so famous that they are used in many puzzle games, I get it, but...there are so many different puzzles by different devs that have features puzzle lovers like myself want, and need! If I show my PERSONAL disapproval of these cookie-cutter puzzles with no features, no large puzzle options (like way over 300 pieces) my hopes are that either this dev will finally understand and offer a puzzle that has something different, or that BFG will finally go searching for vendors that do offer better features.

I don't have anything against 8 Floor LTD Games, but they are all the same, nothing ever changes. The features are the same, the music is the same, the puzzles are basically the same, and they are never offered in larger sizes, but the fact that they spew out one puzzle after the other without ever changing a single thing really upsets me! At the very least, change the music, please?!?

I don't understand why BF refuses to offer puzzles from a different developer because other devs offer a variety of options and features, not to mention that the pictures those other puzzle games have are really amazing! In all fairness, I did find a couple of puzzles here on BF, that have awesome pictures and custom features available. Yes, I'll admit, at first they seem intimidating because there are so many features to figure out, but after a few minutes of exploring the features, you soon realize that it isn't difficult, and your angst turns into excitement from all the possibilities.

In 1001 Jigsaw World Tour: Castles And Palaces, you can choose puzzles from 5 different boxes that have 100 puzzles available in each. You can also earn Trophies for reaching goals such as playing a certain amount of hours, joining up to a million pieces, scoring a certain amount of points, solving a puzzle without making a mistake, solving variously sized puzzles, or solving a puzzle without using hints, sorting, or pocket features. There are also Top Scores and personal Best score tallies.

Any of the puzzles can be modified with the number of pieces, the cut shape of the pieces and whether or not you want the pieces to rotate. There are 4 different backgrounds to choose from, pink, green, blue and grey, a box to store extra pieces until needed, a Sort option a Border only option, a Hint option, and an available Magnifying glass to enlarge pieces. You can also ghost the image of the puzzle to the background or hang a picture in three different sizes.

These are the EXACT same features offered in all puzzle games by this dev and trust me, there are better features available! For example, in Jigsaws Galore, you can assemble a puzzle with up to 64,000 pieces! And there are so many more unique features, so I've included some bullet points of just some of the custom features available in Jigsaws Galore, features which we SHOULD expect from all puzzle games:

*Each category is kept in folders, the pictures inside each folder is shown as thumbnails, choose the size of each thumbnail, create and label as many new folders as you want.
*Capture your own images or import photos, you can even crop specific sections, you can also share pictures with others who have Jigsaws Galore.
*Change the size, shape or number of pieces, you can even change these features midway through a puzzle without having to restart the puzzle.
*Choose the shape of the pieces, you can even add "fun" or "mystery shaped" pieces to the mixture by %, for example, add 5% of fish-shaped pieces randomly into the puzzle, or 0 if you just want normally shaped pieces.
*Ghost the image, AND choose the brightness of the ghosted picture, hang a picture for reference, choose the background color OR the type of material used.
*Open up as many trays as you want to hold puzzle pieces, (not just a single box that can't be sorted, labeled or even easily viewed) choose the color of each tray and label the trays, right-click each tray and fetch the pieces you want in each tray, such as blue pieces, or fun shaped pieces, you can choose how to arrange the pieces within each tray, line the trays along the sides, top or bottom, which can be clearly viewed and know what pieces are in which trays (sky, water, land, blue, specific shapes, however, you want!)
*Select how you want to sort the puzzle pieces, along the edges, in a grid formation, random, you can ever de-arrange pieces, and this option is available inside each tray as well. They will even arrange by grouping the same shaped puzzle pieces together.
*The toolbar can be on the top, bottom or side, and you can hide the toolbar to give you more room.
*There is a zoom feature, a magnifying glass which can be set at different strengths.
*Choose how thick or thin the pieces are, add shadows, turn on/off anti-aliasing (graphics realism) whether you want the outlines to disappear once the pieces snap together to show a smooth image. You can even choose the snap distance of the pieces, and choose puzzle piece rotation preference of clockwise or counterclockwise.
*Auto-save the puzzle at specific intervals automatically, such as every 5 minutes, never lose your progress again!
*Use tools such as undo, demo, next piece finds, hints, mystery mode, auto solve, overlay pictures, zoom, or even timers. It even shows you the number of pieces in the puzzle, and how many pieces you have placed.

So, when I say options and features in a virtual jigsaw puzzle are possible, I really mean they should be standard! I'm sure there are lots of puzzle geeks out there who don't really care about all these features and just want a relaxing and simple puzzle to pass the time, but if you do want to see more puzzles offered with these kinds of options, show BF it matters with your star rating!
