Ravensburger 500 Piece Puzzles

500 pieces is the size people underrate. It is a weekend rather than a fortnight, it fits on a card table, and because Ravensburger cut it at the same quality as their 1000 piece range you are not trading craftsmanship for convenience. The pieces are physically larger, which matters more than most buyers expect.

This is the size we recommend in three situations. First, if you are coming back to puzzling after a long gap and want to finish something rather than abandon it. Second, if you are buying for someone with less table space, or less patience for a project that occupies the dining room for two weeks. Third, if eyesight or dexterity is a factor, where a larger piece in a 500 count is far kinder than a 1000 without feeling like a children's puzzle.

Ravensburger's Softclick fit does the same job here as it does at 1000 pieces: a placed piece stays placed, and a false join does not fool you into an hour of wrong work.

Want something bigger? Go to Ravensburger 1000 piece, the size most Australians buy. If the larger pieces are the appeal rather than the shorter build, look at Extra Large Pieces instead.
