The Busy Bistro • 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle from The Magic Puzzle Company • Series Two

Like all Magic Puzzle Company puzzles, The Busy Bistro delivers a fantastic and immersive puzzle experience. The artwork is beautifully detailed, and the precision-cut pieces fit together seamlessly. One of the best aspects of these puzzles is the unique twist, where the final image differs from the box, making solving it more engaging. The puzzle dust is minimal, and the pieces have a premium feel, unlike some cheaper brands. If you're looking for a puzzle that goes beyond the standard jigsaw experience, this is a must-have for any collection.

The Magic Puzzle Company absolutely hit it out of the park with the Busy Bistro Puzzle. The puzzle is well made with uniquely shaped pieces that are cut so it's challenging to solve the puzzle, but also cut so that fine details are preserved. I've done puzzles where tiny signs or faces are unceremoniously hacked in half because of a poor cut, and the Magic Puzzle Company practically eliminated this problem by having the pieces custom cut that they pictures and fine signs (such as the tiny rat's faces or little signs) are in the center of the puzzle pieces. The pieces fit together exactly together but have a slightly looser feel to them, so it's easy to disassemble the puzzle when completed. This is not a puzzle you can pick up from the corners and effectively pick the entire puzzle up as the pieces do not "lock" together. The puzzle image is very clearly printed on the thick cardboard stock and has a slight sheen to it. We had no issues with "sticky" or incompletely cut pieces and there was no dust or debris in the bag when the bag was first opened. Because it's a fairly complex puzzle (especially if you don't know the secret), it comes with two posters so that more than one person can hover over the puzzle and still have a sort of guide. As for the difficulty of the puzzle, it definitely is more challenging than most puzzles, but not as mind jarring as the Magic Puzzle Company's "Sunny City", which relies on a lot of beiges colors and seemingly repeating details.Speaking of detail, I loved the amount of Easter Eggs hidden in this particular puzzle. This puzzle included so many references, including homages to Ratatouille, Overcooked, The Simpsons (MR. SPARKLE!), and even a box of Hagoromo Bungu Chalk which made my math professor brother-in-law nod in knowing approval. Those who have completed the Magic Puzzle Company's Crystal Cave may also spot an amphibian visitor from that puzzle. Those who have never completed a Magic Company Puzzle before will definitely be delighted by the extra surprise upon completion of the puzzle - all I can say is DON'T OPEN THE EXTRA ENVELOPE UNTIL YOU'RE DONE! If you've never completed a Magic Puzzle Company puzzle before and want spoilers on this, the surprise ending can easily be found online. This puzzle was so fun for our family to complete that we ended up purchasing it for my sister's family to assemble. It's a fun and finely detailed puzzle that I would definitely recommend for any puzzle fanatic.

My family absolutely love each of the puzzles by The Magic Puzzle Company. They are beautiful, colorful, exciting, and unique. We love how each of the puzzles reference one or more other puzzles. We delight in the seek and find that comes in each one for when you've completed the puzzle. And the newer puzzles come with a sticker in the lid to sign and date when you've finished it, so when we share it with family they can also sign and date it and we know who to pass it to next. The quality is astounding and the pieces incredibly unique to each puzzle. Definitely check these guys out!

I was really wonderfully surprised by this puzzle. Lots of unexpected twists. The picture is so much fun too. The artist really created a scene I wanted to immerse myself into. The puzzle pieces and the mystery game just adds additional layers to this. Quality puzzle pieces also, they fit together well so you're not left wondering if maybe it's the wrong piece. The print quality is pretty great. There is still dust but it's pretty minimal.

The preface: Magic Puzzle Company is incredible. I have bought and completed almost all of the puzzle they've released and have absolutely loved building them! They truly deliver a magical experience and I always tell my friends who are interested in puzzles to get them. This one specifically: The artwork, the theme, the detail, the easter eggs! All of it incredible. No notes. I loved building it and looking at it and finding all the magic they put into it. Super recommend. Best puzzles ever.

I adore the Magic Puzzle products and own the entire collection. I give these puzzles as gifts to family and friends. The Busy Bistro puzzle is really cute and fun. I've never had any issues with missing pieces or quality with the magic puzzles. I love that these puzzles are dust free. The magic reveal is so fun. If I leave one of these puzzles out on the table, my adult children and visiting family members tend to be drawn to it. If you haven't tried one yet I encourage you to get one. You won't be disappointed!

This puzzle was so much fun and challenging! Be warned, there is a secret at the end so I do not recommend using a puzzle board unless it's huge.No missing pieces or any issues.

I have completed close to 300 puzzles and this ranks up there as one of my absolute favorites. The art is so detailed and the different piece shapes keeps things interesting. It’s challenging but not frustrating to complete. The hidden ending is so much fun. Definitely the most unique puzzle I’ve come across. I just purchased two more from the Magic Puzzle Company. Well done gang!!! Keep ‘em coming!!
