Ready for More? Why 1500 Pieces Is the Perfect Summer Project

Many puzzlers stay at 1000 pieces for years. It’s a comfortable size. 

But once you finish a 1000-piece puzzle in a few evenings, you start to want more. That’s when 1500 pieces makes sense.

What changes at 1500 pieces?

Something changes for sure. We have seen it ourselves, and our customers talk about it.

The jump sounds small. It isn’t. You have half as many pieces again, and the finished puzzle is bigger.

It takes longer, and it asks more of your patience. It also gives more back. Finishing a 1500-piece puzzle feels like a real achievement.

Two to start with

Christmas Eve by Ravensburger is 1500 pieces and $54.99. It’s a festive scene, and it’s well timed. Start it in December, and you’ll have something to work on through the quiet days after Christmas.

A Bustling Fantasy Port is also 1500 pieces and $54.99. It’s busy, imaginative and full of detail. It suits puzzlers who like a scene they can get lost in.

Not quite ready?

If you’d rather build up slowly, try Holiday Cottage. It’s a 1000-piece Ravensburger puzzle for $39.99. It has a cosy, seasonal feel and makes a good warm-up.

Practical tips for bigger puzzles

A 1500-piece puzzle needs space. Check the finished size on the box and measure your table before you start.

I’d also suggest:

• Sort first. Edges, then colours. It saves time later.
• Use trays or lids. They keep sorted pieces in order.
• Choose a spot you won’t need. You may be at it for a week or two.
• Work in short sessions. Fresh eyes find pieces faster.

The Australian summer advantage

Our long, hot summer suits big puzzles. When it’s too warm to go outside, a large jigsaw in an air-conditioned room is a pleasant way to pass an afternoon.
