Are there actually puzzles in the game - and are they good?

Not really puzzles. It's a very linear game. More like a movie with choices in some situations. A few spots you have choices that will change the different endings, but to directly answer your question. No there aren't many puzzles.

The term "puzzle" for this game I think is used a bit loosely. There are questions you will develope while playing the game because something seems amiss or just not entirely clear, but are answered as you progress. When they say "puzzle" it's probably more along the lines of "how do I want to define my character?". The choices you make during the game, whether verbally or physically, will alter the story and relationships later on. Example: a scene where people are mean/abusive to you. You can choose to seek revenge or let it go.I'm not sure if you remember these, but there were "choose your own adventure" storybooks. You were given a scenario and each choice you made had a different outcome. The term "puzzle" for this game I think is used a bit loosely.

This isn't a puzzle type of game. It's not like... Hey figure this out to move on. This game doesn't even fit in any game category, it's more of a category on its own. You play as the character and have objectives to do. Whether you do them or not will decide your factor in game ending. There's over 20 endings to the game.

Ideally you need all of the pieces. You potentially can do some puzzles if the lost pieces are far away from the area where you're solving the puzzle. You can also just contact the manufacturer and they will gladly send you a replacement piece.

It includes tiles and lot of puzzle cards.My 5 year old lives this game.Lot of puzzles and tiles that 2 players can play at same time too!

Yes. Our 4 year old is very good at these type of puzzles. He has a brother two years older and a cousin 5 years older that found this "toy" very entertaining and challenging.

There are about 250 puzzles. If you find you really like this I would highly recommend the full featured version of Jigsaws Galore (don't know if Amazon sell it)--it allows you to download additional sets of jigsaw puzzles and you can change the puzzle features and even use your own photos as puzzles. (I am addicted!)

All of my grand kids 5-10 play the regular version and love it. Boys and girls. Individually and cooperatively. I will be buying some other versions, but not the Jr. They start with the easiest puzzles and work their way through them. What they learn in one helps with the next. Hope that helps!

I don't know. I have a 2. I'm guessing the puzzle is not around the shape/depth but the placement of the holes.

I don't think so but we never checked. We counted 60+ letters but they are the ones to do the 16 puzzles, not necessarily all of them.

2 or more people could help each other solve the puzzles, but only 1 player is needed. There are no other rules included with the game for "taking turns" though I'm sure one could invent some. Most games are frustrating because you can't play them alone. Not the case with this.

Yes. I wondered why you asked that so I looked up the listing. No idea why the one image shows those plain playing pieces. Must have been an older version. It's a very fun game. Good for learning strategy.

yes .. there is are basic shapes (like a puzzle outline) that the pieces fit into. Kids loved it! Great item.

I'd say so. The game starts out pretty basic, but through the "unlockables" and advanced game modes there is a ton of room for increased complexity. I have a bright, game-playing, puzzle-doing 4 year old who loves Robot Turtles, and I'd estimate we've only tapped into about one quarter of what it offers.

The version I have (2007/2008) has the games you ask about plus 24 more, some very good and some not so. Double crossword game is very good, plus the slide tile game is a real favorite. Well worth the money for these games.

There are online instructions on how to play and there are a few online puzzles available but not a full set of puzzles. Do an online search on Lonpos to find their web site.

Yes. My family actually liked this game so much, that my brother and sister both bought their own so we can race to see who can solve the puzzle first.

It depends on what you mean by all the same shape. They do not have any irregular pieces, all interlock nicely. White Mountain puzzles also interlock but they do have I think it's 7 different shapes.

yes, but Jewel Quest I has a clumsy pointer and the game moves slowly. You can't move blocks into some empty spaces. Jewel Quest II is great! But they work on windows 8. That's what I have.
