Follow these guidelines for successful assembly of your Empire State Building 3D puzzle. No tools or glue are required.

1. Review the Booklet: Begin by carefully reading the included Play Instruction Booklet. This booklet contains detailed, step-by-step diagrams and numbered pieces to guide you through the assembly process.
