Antique Globe 3D Spherical Jigsaw Puzzle

A revolutionary 3D puzzle—assembles into a free standing sphere.

This unbeliveable jigsaw puzzle uses traditional jigsaw puzzle pieces to create a sphere which requires no interior support. Each piece is designed to create a tiny section of the completed sphere. As the pieces are correctly placed, the puzzle defies gravity and incredibly curves skyward. It seemingly does the impossible!

The last piece of the puzzle is at the very top of the sphere. The "North Pole" piece has a trap door cut into it. When the rest of the puzzle is complete, this trap door can be opened—allowing the last piece to snap into place—and then resealed.
