Puzzles

Our current puzzles are 150 pieces and 4" x 6" when complete.

The QR code is the black and red dots symbol with a red puzzle piece in the center, bottom right on the tube label.

View the code through your Android, or Apple smart phone, or tablet camera, wait a moment, and you'll see a prompt to open a link.

Tap the link to view the posters for all of our puzzles. You can then zoom in, scroll on the image for a detailed view of the puzzle you're working on.

No more need to pass the ONE poster around!

We decided to produce our puzzles using the thickest board possible for easier grip and a more satisfying snap when fitted together.

Each piece is approximately 1cm square or slightly smaller than a US dime coin.

It depends on if you're solo or with friends or family but the puzzles typically take from 45 minutes to an hour or so to complete.

Picture frames are not included in the purchase price but we do encourage you to frame your artwork!

Any standard 4" x 6" frame will work.

This is something we would LOVE to do; sign up for the newsletter (and a discount on your first order!) to be the first to know!

Augmented Reality

🧩 👀 👍 Viewing the included POSTER instead of the puzzle should always work.

Open the Artivive app and point your device’s camera to the puzzle, and watch as it comes to life!

All you need is a smartphone or a tablet. You can download the app for free from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

The app needs to recognize the puzzle picture in order to connect it to the associated AR experience.

There are a number of factors that can cause issues, from light conditions to viewing angle, to the lines the puzzle pieces leave in the image the AR is trying to recognize.

Please make sure the entire puzzle is visible on your screen. Try and keep your hand steady. If the surrounding light is poor, switch on a light or use your phone to light it up, by clicking the lightbulb icon on the screen, which will activate your device’s flashlight.

If you're still having problems, try these resolutions:

  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Artivive app
  • Try and avoid overhead lights, or glare as this can cause problems
  • Move the viewing device closer then further away, at an angle to see if that helps
  • If problems persist, view the included puzzle poster which should always work
