Holy fangirling, Batman!
4D Cityscape, a company that makes 4D puzzles that are city maps, has just released a new puzzle that pulls on my Lannister heartstrings—a Game of Thrones 4D puzzle of Westeros.
With this official puzzle of HBO’s show Game of Thrones, 4D Cityscape gives fans a chance to build Westeros from the group up. With a patented three-layer design, the puzzle replicates the topographical landscape of Westeros and its Seven Kingdoms. 1,200 jigsaw pieces recreate the regions and cities of Westeros, while 3-D replicas of the castles including King’s Landing, Winterfell, Eyrie, the Wall, and many more. You can learn about all the kingdoms and they’re locations without paging through all those appendices at the end of the book (so many appendices!). It’s the fast way to get through all those history books that the maester of your House makes you read.
The puzzle comes with an information booklet that teaches you everything you need to know about Westeros, including more than 45 flags to mark famous landmarks, 10 sigils to mark the houses (choose your alliance carefully!), and five battle markers to identify the locations of five major battles. Plus, the fully assembled puzzle measures 30 x 18 x 2 inches!
As a Game of Thrones fanatic, this is a really cool way to get my fill of the show in between seasons and books (Come on, George R.R. Martin. Where’s that sixth book?). The puzzle-lover in me likes the more than 1,400 pieces between the map puzzle and the topography puzzle. The fan in me loves the collectible structures, including an Iron Throne.
Here’s the catch to the 4D Cityscape puzzles: the puzzle is (rightfully) recommended for kids ages 13 and up. The 4D Cityscape Puzzles are challenging and a time commitment. However, the end result of all your hard work and dedication is a really cool collector’s item that’s fun to build in the process.
Check out the cool trailer for it, which is creatively made to look like the Game of Thrones opening credits:
4D Cityscape puzzles are available in real-world cities too, such as New York, London, and Washington, D.C.
