Features of the City Planner Wooden Puzzle:

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS - The 9 puzzle pieces can be arranged 13 different ways. It all
depends on where you put the water tower piece. You build your city around the
water!
RECOMMENDED AGE - 13+ This brain teaser is the perfect gift for teens and anyone with
an interest in wooden puzzles.
UNIQUE LOOK - The City Planner looks like no other wood puzzle. It is a perfect accent to
a desk or as a piece of dorm room decor.
SIZE - Measuring at 4.75" x 4.75" x 2.75" this puzzle will stand out without taking up too
much space.

You are given 9 "building complexes" and 1 water tower. Your objective is to lay them all into a City Block.
You may start with the water tower in any of the 13 holes that are in the base. Now see if you can fit the rest of the buildings in place.
If you are successful, try it with the water tower in a different starting point. Keep going and see if you can find all 13 possibilities!
A fun and attractive puzzle that is quite challenging regardless of where you start the water tower.
Measures about 4.75 x 4.75 x 2.75" We have recently made this puzzle even more attractive by toning some of the wood in the building. Very nice looking puzzle.

My grandkids loved it!
Yes they did!!!!

My father loved the puzzle.

Totally awesome - no complaints!

Good quality. I bought it for my waiting room and both adults and kids have been playing with it.

This is a gift so I haven’t opened and used it but out of 5 things I purchased on Etsy it was the fastest to arrive. I really appreciate that from the seller!! Thank You

Such a cool gift idea. My nephew loves brain teasers like these and this one is especially cool because it is really pretty. I love it and I think he will too.

fun to work on and very attractive

Great puzzle! Well made! Packaged safely; arrived in perfect condition.

It was a gift for my brother.

Love the puzzle thank you

My husband loves puzzles. So far he seems to be enjoying this one! I’m excited for him to have a new puzzle to figure out.

The quality is amazing. I've bought from Creative Crafthouse before, about 3 years ago, and they were just as spectacular.

The item is well made but it has some kind of weird white dust or something in it that I had to wipe off in several places idk if it was mold or something else but it was weird.
Also it got held in customs for almost a week and then Etsy said it had been delivered a day before it was actually delivered it just got out in a delivery truck 2 different ones on consecutive days which is just an AusPost issue.
Regardless the item is very fun and I enjoy playing with it. I would recommend even with all my shipping issues and the mystery white dust/mold under the plastic on it.

I sent this as a gift to my eight-year-old godson. He has an incredible imagination and usually dissect toys and blends as he see fit.

This gift exceeded expectations. He did not feel the need to add embellishments. I was told by his mother that he enjoyed this right up until bedtime and is so looking forward to his next adventure with it.

Sidenote, his parents, a CPA and an attorney both loved working with him with this and almost argued over who got to play with it most. A good sign!

Tough to solve. But these are the kind of puzzles that satisfy you.

Great quality and love a puzzle with multiple solutions for re-solvability

Nice quality, very nice puzzles

Great quality, very fun puzzle

Shipping was fast and product came as advertised.

Fun Puzzle. Unique. Looks great in my den.

Speedy shipping - arrived before I even knew it shipped! Great packaging and product. Thanks!
