Setup

1. Unpack the Box: Carefully open the puzzle box. Inside, you will find 550 puzzle pieces and a small reference image of the completed puzzle.
2. Choose a Workspace: Select a clean, flat, and spacious surface for assembly. Ensure it is large enough to accommodate the finished puzzle, which measures approximately 18 x 24 inches (45.7 x 61 cm).
3. Sort the Pieces:
   • Begin by separating all edge pieces (those with one flat side) from the interior pieces.
   • Further sort the interior pieces by color, pattern, or distinct features to make assembly easier.

Operating (Assembly)

1. Build the Border: Assemble the edge pieces first to create the frame of the puzzle. This provides a clear boundary and helps define the overall shape.
2. Work on Distinct Sections: Refer to the included reference image. Identify areas with unique colors, characters, or patterns (e.g., Harry Potter's face, Hogwarts castle, Hedwig). Assemble these sections independently.
3. Connect Sections: Once smaller sections are complete, begin connecting them to the border and to each other. Pay attention to the shape of the puzzle pieces and the continuity of the image.
4. Fill in Remaining Areas: For areas with similar colors or less distinct patterns, focus on piece shape and subtle color variations. Patience is key for these sections.
5. Final Check: Once all pieces are placed, gently press down on the entire puzzle to ensure all connections are secure.

Maintenance

• Storage: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in their original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container to prevent loss or damage.
• Cleaning: If pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the print and material.
• Handling: Handle pieces by their edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin to the puzzle surface, which can cause discoloration over time.
• Preservation (Optional): For a completed puzzle you wish to display, consider using a puzzle glue or frame kit. Follow the instructions provided with your chosen preservation method.

Troubleshooting

Missing Piece:

Thoroughly check your workspace, under furniture, and inside the box. Sometimes pieces can stick together or get overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact USAOPOLY customer support with your product details.

Pieces Don't Fit:

Ensure you are trying to connect the correct pieces. Puzzle pieces can sometimes appear to fit in multiple spots, especially in areas with similar colors. Double-check the image and piece shape. Do not force pieces together, as this can cause damage.

Damaged Pieces:

If you encounter damaged pieces upon opening the box, please contact USAOPOLY customer support for assistance.
