Custom Photo Puzzles
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is a 24-piece puzzle suitable for?
From around 3 years onwards, though every child develops differently. If they're managing basic shape sorters, they're probably ready. Using a familiar photograph makes success considerably more likely than abstract patterns would.
What's the difference between standard and Mammut?
Standard: 37 × 29 cm with colour frame, designed for children aged 3-5. Mammut: 80 × 60 cm with XXL pieces (20.6 × 16.7 cm each), suitable for all ages—toddlers, adults, therapeutic use. Mammut works as floor play mat; standard suits table puzzling.
What image resolution do I need?
Standard version: at least 1500 × 1000 pixels. Mammut: at least 3000 × 2000 pixels because the finished size matches a 1500-piece puzzle. The configurator flags inadequate images.
How long does it take?
Standard: 15-30 minutes for children aged 3-5. Mammut: often quicker despite size—giant pieces are easier to handle and photograph sections clearer.
Why choose Mammut for adults or therapy?
Giant pieces suit reduced dexterity (older people, dementia patients, motor challenges). University of Ulm research shows puzzling trains cognitive skills whilst relaxing. Familiar photographs on large, clear pieces combine mental activity with emotional connection—ideal therapeutically.
Can Mammut be a play mat?
Yes—place the completed 80 × 60 cm puzzle on the floor for interactive play. Children drive toy cars across your garden photo, position dolls on beach scenes. It's durable enough for this use.
