Could be better
I like the idea, but can't figure out why they don't make the effort to print a map to include with the puzzle. A little effort and a tiny expense would result in a huge increase in customer satisfaction. Even though the puzzle is small, and the price is high, In would have given this product a good recommendation if they had included a printed map to uses as a guide.. I have never seen a puzzle without that.
Home town puzzle
Puzzle came with some missing pieces. Was not able to complete it. Also was not only my home town but surrounding area. Was very disappointed.
Disappointed
I was very disappointed with the puzzle. Our address is barely on the map. There is no picture of the map to use as a guide. Some of the pieces arent even close to the actual location. Will not recommend!
Difficult without photo
I gave this as a gift to a puzzle lover. When I noticed there was no photo guide I figured not a problem she can just use a map for the outskirts of town she is unfamiliar with. Unfortunately the roads and lines outside of time are not labeled or marked making this puzzle incredibly difficult to complete and not very fun.
You need a lot of patience
I got this for my husband for Christmas. He loved it. It doesn’t come with a photo and there isn’t a lot of color besides blue, green and off white. Not contrast makes it difficult. My husband wouldn’t let me look up where roads are so that made it much harder too. Its also not very big. Photo makes it look larger and font is very small and hard to read. You need very good lighting in the room. I bought one for my sisters family so it will be interesting to hear what she thinks.

Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
