Are you enjoying putting your puzzle together when you realize a piece is missing? That’s incredibly frustrating, of course. But don’t worry—we have some handy tips to help you find the missing piece. First, search carefully on the floor around the spot where you were working on the puzzle. Sometimes a piece can end up there unnoticed, especially if the puzzle has been moved. Is it possible your cat ran off with it? In that case, the piece could be anywhere in the house, turning it into a real Sherlock Holmes mission.

If you are absolutely sure that the piece is not in your home, you can always contact us and send us a photo of the complete puzzle, clearly showing the missing piece. That way, we can submit a request to the manufacturer on your behalf for a replacement piece. We understand that you would like to get back to puzzling as soon as possible, but please bear in mind that the process can take a few weeks. This is because many of our manufacturers are based abroad.
