PuzzleTwist

Minnesota Spirit

Regular price $22.00

Here's the Twist:
The puzzle ON the box is more than a bit different from the puzzle IN the box!  What happened here?

Take a walk through a graphical display of iconic Minnesota from Paul Bunyan to Little House on the Prairie. Embrace a bit of Minnesota nice, as piece by piece you uncover the changes in this land of 10,000 lakes.

About the Artist:
Nancy Patrick Carney is known for her imaginatively stylized landscapes. We had a blast creating Minnesota Spirit with her, a puzzle so fun you’ll be looking forward to your next Minnesota adventure.

Don't waste your time

Horribly ugly graphics. Even the reveal has a tiny cheap picture of what the puzzle should look like. Cheap quality everywhere, except for the shrink wrap to get the puzzle box open. Some pieces fit together, but are not the right pieces. It is challenging to assemble a smaller section and move it because the pieces fit so loosely. It is probably manufactured in china! Don't waste your time or money.

Hi Jim,

I'm curious, why did you purchase this puzzle if you thought the graphics to be horribly ugly? Yikes. We actually love Nancy's art and we find it to be whimsical fun to assemble. I'm sorry you don't care for it. Fortunately, we work with many artists and you might find some of our other puzzles more in line with your taste.

As for the quality of our puzzles, we strive to manufacture the best quality puzzles we can obtain (in the USA).
False fits. We use random cut dies and attempt to prevent false fit pieces (however, it can happen in just about any puzzle).
Loose fitting: We've found that new blades on a puzzle die tend to have a looser fit then those puzzle dies that have been in use for awhile. It sounds like you must have received a puzzle from one of our new puzzle dies with razor sharp blades. Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that you receive a puzzle cut with new sharp blades or used blades that tend to hold together better.

You can obtain a large reveal from our website or feel free to email us for it. I believe the image you were refering to on the insert is just a another picture of the box cover. We don't include an image of the reveal with the puzzle itself.

I'm so glad to hear you like our shrink wrap. It's a little thicker than most brands and I love it too.

With all that said, I hope you do try another one of our puzzles (of an image you like) as I think you will find you will like our puzzles if you do. I'd recommend Star of the North or Wander.

Thanks so much for giving PuzzleTwist a try and we wish you all the best.

Minnesota Spirit- a real toughie!

My evil niece gave me this puzzle. I may cut her out of my will! It took me about 9 days to finish, and the first few days I was lucky to get 10 pieces placed. The changes were really confusing. Yes, I found Maynard! Over all, it was frustrating, but rather fun. Small pieces with many colors, some don't make much sense. I hate to put it back in the box but it costs too much to frame!

What a great Minnesota Challenge

My family just loved how many differences in this puzzle. It was very challenging but in the best way! Puzzles is very well made and definitely is high quality.
