After a puzzle is put together & it ask do you want to save it , yes no or cancel. The only way I have found to start a different one is to click no, but then you have to go back to the icon on the desk & start everthing over. Is there any way to avoid starting over each time. Thank you. After a puzzle is put together & it ask do you want to save it , yes no or cancel.

Yes, click on open on the drop down menu (file) first, then you will be asked if you want to save your current puzzle. After you answer you will be taken to the multiple lines of puzzle choices by theme.

Its pretty study after you put the sheets on the back and let it sit for a few hours. However, it is still always a little bit flexible. You could try and hang it on the wall with the hanger or a wire if you wanted, but I would suggest buying a frame and putting it that to hang it up. It will better protect your puzzle and if the puzzle and frame fall on the floor from the wall the puzzle won't come apart. That's the danger you take with using the hanger that they provide in this product or trying to hang your puzzle with wire after using this product. Good luck

If you count up from 1 you can stop and then start again where you left off. I haven't tried counting down from a higher number but assume it would be the same. I like this very well.

We used a big fold out table and layed a piece of plywood on top. We built it in for sections. After each section was done we slid it one a bigger piece of plywood the is big enough for the whole puzzle and added each section to it. Once it was done we were going to take the big piece out side but could not get the plywood out the door. LOL Even tried to slant it to get it out, but the puzzle wanted to slide off the board. So we left it on the reckroom florr for a while and took pictures. Then we took it apart and sent it to some one else to have fun putting it together. Its a beautiful picture puzzle.

Well I agree the rules are not easy to follow when you play for the first time. To be sincere I couldn't play the game by just reading the manual. What I did is find a YouTube video where I saw a whole family playing together and describing every move. Then it started to make sense. I took me a couple of hours to learn it. The manual is great when you're already in a game, because you'll always use it as a cheatsheet. Here's the link I'm talking about :S05E01 - 7 Wonders - How To Play: http://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8UI recommend you watch all of these videos, I mean S05E02, etc. 7 wonders is a truly amazing game, the more you play it, the more you'll love it.

I don't remember if we got directions with ours (we bought two at different times), but if you lay out all the pieces, you will note there is only one way they go together. Note: It is easier if you have another person help to hold the pieces together.

You can't. You can still walk it of course but not more island building. You have to start a new game if you want to start building the island all over again. And, you can only do that 6 times. I usually finish an island and then just walk it for 3-6 months (and get rid of every song under 150 beats per minute) and then start another game.

I read that you can stop the player and start it again from the same place, BUT NOT if you turn the unit off; then it goes back to the beginning.

These puzzles are a lot of fun to do. Yes the pieces fit together and you do not have to rotate them. In fact when the pieces fit together they make a snapping sound. It does have a background picture for help if needed. Hope you enjoy them as much as my husband and I do.

I have not had that happen. I think the customer service at Geotoys is pretty good. I suggest getting to their website and contacting them. Perhaps they can replace the puzzle for you. Good luck!

I have two large pieces of cardboard that I place on the front of the puzzle and back. Carefully picking it up I flip it using the cardboard (or poster board would work too). Sometimes a few pieces may fall apart but it's easy enough to put back together. I hope this helps.

They do not offer replacement pieces, sad to say. I do believe some of the massive puzzles will offer some, but these 1000 piecers...out of luck. But I have never actually opened a Ravensberger puzzle that didn't have all the pieces. I opened another puzzle one time which was missing three pieces. I might have thought it was me, but I had four DUPLICATE pieces from somebody else's puzzle! That's a quality control issue you won't find with Ravensberger.

I loooove these puzzles! They are great gifts for teens and adults. It makes giving money as a gift fun!! There are instructions on how to insert the money but I do not recall it coming with instructions on how to solve the game. Try one out. You'll be surprised how much entertainment it can bring to a roomful of adults, haha! I purchased two; one for a 12 yr old and one for a 14yr old. Good luck!!

I had the same problem. Solved this puzzle three different ways (ball in wooden basket, plants thriving in the light) and didn't get the completion box. What's up? And is there a way to skip past a puzzle? Thanks.

I actually am not sure, because my son uses it. I think you have to find the part replay it and use the back buttons to start one over.

l. Yes, you can choose to have the pieces in the proper upright position, or you can choose to have them rotated and you have to figure out how they fit. Click on the "Options" button at the top of the puzzle and make sure the "rotate" line is not checked if you want them in the correct position. 2. Yes the background picture is called a 'ghost' picture and it can be darkened or lightened by clicking on the + or - symbol at the top. The puzzle gives you helpful hints whenever you log on to a puzzle. I own five different puzzle programs from Jigsaw Galore and love them all!!! l.

Each one has different shaped pieces and different puzzle sheets to figure out. I have 3 grandkids and got three different ones for them. That way they could swap out when they complete one. The best part was that my own kids(adults) were having fun trying to figure out each one.
