s the layout of the land and what it was called beforehand. You do get a small colored map beforehand so you have more of an idea how to piece everything together. This may be the most difficult part of the puzzle, since most of the colors are blue, tan, and green. The first layer took me the most time to complete.The second layer is made out of foam, and if I remember correctly, there should be a picture of what the puzzle should look like when its completed on the opposite side of the first layer map. This part is significantly easier and more interesting, since it's really different from the normal puzzles out there already. It still might take a bit effort to piece everything together, but it shouldn't take as much time compared to the first layer. There is one little flaw though: I personally think that the tape isn't strong enough to fully stick to the first layer. That might be so that it's easier to remove if you happen to place the piece at the wrong place. It's not too big of a deal though, if you have decided where to put the puzzle permanently.The third and fourth layers are combined together. There's a big, colored printed poster that provides information on the buildings you're about to put up. It tells you the name and the year its established. There's little numbers on the map and on the buildings (if I'm correct, I'll have to check). You put the buildings on the puzzle according to chronological order, and it's really interesting to see how the city "builds up", turning to the New York that it is today. I've learned a lot from the puzzle and realized that there's still a huge chunk of New York that I didn't know about.I would recommend this to anyone who's interested to learn more about New York, or if they just want to try out an unique puzzle. Either way, it killed a lot of time and I really enjoyed spending time on it. You do need to figure out where you want to put the puzzle at first though, since it was really difficult to move the puzzle once its done and I had to piece some parts of the layers back together.

g this awesome puzzle.Just one thing: The construction and then removal of the Twin Towers is very dark. Not a fan of that. Everything else is amazing!

ly down side... The numbers on the building (to locate their place) had a few mistakes (numbers were swapped) and the numbers were very small on some of them! So have good lighting and reading glasses.Over all awesome we will be getting another one of these puzzles

base puzzle is good for about 5th grade on up. I am adding that information because some reviews mention that the puzzle was a gift found to be unused later on. The bottom layer is a typical puzzle and though the pieces may seem to be the same, I found that the correct piece always "fit." The second foam layer was easy to put together in minutes rather than hours. It's thickness is needed to hold the buildings in place. Because of the removal of foam "foundations" to place the buildings, the foam part seemed to lose its grip from the double sided sticky tape after a day or so. Also, could have been because of the cooler winter temps. I would suggest that you possibly skip the tape part at first, and if you feel the need you can slip it under pieces later.The buildings do need a magnifying glass to make the identification of the number easier, but overall the process of identifying and placing of the buildings is quite easy. For me, I would place the buildings up to a certain time period the rest of the family could relate to such as war years, birthdates, etc. Then every day or so the rest of the family would have a sit at the puzzle table and see what the city was like at those landmark dates for our family. Lots of fun for all.

Because the bottom of puzzle is not corrected. I had taken it apart done it over until complex corrected. No pattern, or direction on how to. Just as you see on picture of box is your pattern!

complaint is that you can't move the puzzle without glueing it. The pieces come apart too easily. Also, I wish an information sheet with history was included so you could learn how changes occurred. For example Manhattan had land added to the original Island. Thanks to Google for getting those facts.
