Any fields that need to be completed a bit differently than a "normal" single puzzle entry will be in green font.

1. Go to the Add New Puzzle Screen

2. Name of Puzzle

Enter the box set title as printed on the box (individual puzzle titles can be added later).

3. Brand

Select the puzzle brand name from the brand list drop-down box. 

4. Piece Count

To prevent multi-puzzle boxes from being returned when people search for large piece count puzzles, please enter the most common piece count of the puzzles in the box.


Eg: If all of them are 1000 pieces, enter 1000.

If 2 are 1000 pieces, and 3 are 750 pieces, enter 750.
You will have the option to enter the individual sizes later on.

5. Barcode & Manufacturer ID

As per the details on the box.

6. Images
Add the box picture as your first image (displaying all the puzzles in the box), then add any completed puzzle pictures and any other supporting images.

7. Categories: Tags / Rating / Difficulty / Review

Enter the details as per normal

8. Size:  Width / Height / Unit

Enter the dimensions of the most commonly-sized puzzle in the box (if available).


9. Artist: Collection / Release Year / Material

Enter the details as per normal; if multiple artists, separate them by commas.


10. Real number of pieces / Puzzle shape / Puzzle cut
If all puzzles have the same piece count and puzzle shape & cut, please enter relevant information. If there is a mix of piece counts and puzzle shapes, it's best to leave it blank.

11. Name of Collection & Release Year

Enter the details as per normal.

12. Real # of pieces

If all the puzzles are the same size, and the piece count is the same for all, enter the real # of pieces for an individual puzzle. However, if the sizes are different, leave this blank.


13. Puzzle Shape

If all the puzzles have the same puzzle shape, then select the appropriate shape. However, if there are different shapes/orientations, please select the most common shape.

14. Puzzle Cut & Material
Enter the details as per normal.

15. Special Features

Select Multi puzzles from the drop-down list.
This will then present you, with the option to add each, individual puzzle if they have their own titles and piece counts, by clicking/tapping the Add Multi Puzzle button.  

By entering this information, both titles and piece counts of all the listed puzzles will then become searchable.

NOTE:  If the puzzles don't have individual titles/names, please enter them as per the box set name, followed by #1, #2 etc., and their piece counts (see below)
