Rant Review: Ocean Lounge 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Ravensburger, Art by Dean MacAdam)


This one was pure fun all the way through! Love the setting, the art style, and vibrant colors. There's something interesting to look at no matter what part of the puzzle you're working on. The shark couple placed front and center draw the eye, but my favorite background critters are the sax playing crab, the blind fish using a cane to swim, the clownfish, the dolled-up dolphin, the jellyfish, and the blinged-out grouper. The skeleton in the diving suit adds a nice bit of creepiness, and I'm a little confused why the lady shark has boobs. 

I did one of MacAdam's puzzles last year, and liked it enough that I've picked up a few others on sale here and there. Like Jazzy, this is from my Black Friday order direct from Ravensburger. It was used at nationals last year, where I suspect it was completed rather more quickly than I did it. The typical Ravensburger quality is present, with all that entails. The masses of blue dust I sifted from the pieces helped set the ocean theme, I reckon.
