Ravensburger EXIT Puzzle Fantasy Unicorn, 759 Pieces: A Buying Guide for Unicorn and Mystery Puzzle Fans

The Ravensburger EXIT Puzzle Fantasy Unicorn, 759 Pieces combines traditional jigsaw puzzling with an extra challenge. It’s designed for adults and children aged 12 and over who want to do more than admire a unicorn puzzle: once they’ve completed the scene, they can search it for hidden clues.

Before buying, though, it’s worth being aware of a few common pitfalls. The number of pieces alone doesn’t tell you how challenging a design will be. Large areas of similar colours, similarly shaped pieces and repeated patterns can make sorting take considerably longer. An EXIT Puzzle is more than just a jigsaw, too: if you’re looking for a classic design with no extra challenge, you may find the puzzle element unnecessary.

Common buying mistakes with escape-room puzzles

1. Assuming the number of pieces determines the difficulty

With 759 pieces, this puzzle sits between many popular 500- and 1,000-piece jigsaws. According to the product information, the completed Fantasy Unicorn puzzle measures around 70 × 50 cm. But the design itself is what really matters: dark areas, similar shades and small details can make the pieces harder to find.

2. Treating a mystery puzzle like an ordinary jigsaw

With the Ravensburger EXIT Puzzle Fantasy Unicorn, the fun continues once you’ve completed the jigsaw. According to the product description, you’ll need to find clues in the picture and use the instructions to solve a final riddle. So before you buy, consider whether you want a puzzle with a riddle or simply a decorative unicorn design.

3. Overlooking age recommendations and small parts

According to the manufacturer, the product is intended for adults and children aged 12 and over. The safety information also warns that, due to small parts, the puzzle isn’t suitable for children under three. For younger children, the recommended age of 12 and over should be followed. If you’re playing as a group, make sure you collect all the puzzle and riddle materials afterwards and store them somewhere dry.

Product details to check before you buy

Number of pieces, size and space required

With 759 puzzle pieces and a finished size of around 70 × 50 cm, the Ravensburger EXIT Puzzle Fantasy Unicorn needs a sufficiently large, flat surface. A dining table can work, but it’s best to keep it clear while you’re putting the puzzle together. If you’re planning to take a longer break, a puzzle mat or a flat storage folder can come in handy.

The product dimensions are listed as 70 × 50 × 0.25 cm. It’s made from cardboard and weighs around 640 g, according to the product specifications. These details can help you plan how to store, transport and display it.

Age recommendation and how to play

The EXIT Puzzle is suitable for individual players and groups. If you enjoy working on a puzzle by yourself, you can assemble the picture first and then solve the clues. In a group, you can share out the sorting, puzzling and riddle-solving.

No batteries or technical assembly are required, so you can get started by sorting the pieces. It’s a good idea to separate out the edge pieces, distinctive colours and harder-to-recognise areas of the picture.

Contents and how to solve the riddle

Before you start, check that the instructions and riddle materials are included. The usual steps are:

  1. Lay out the pieces and sort them by edges, colours and shapes.
  2. Assemble the frame.
  3. Complete the Fantasy Unicorn picture.
  4. Search the image for hidden clues.
  5. Use the instructions to solve the final riddle.

If you’d like to keep the finished picture, consider carefully before using glue. If you plan to do the puzzle more than once, taking it apart carefully and storing the pieces in the original packaging is a more material-friendly option.
