Rating and Reviewing New Puzzles

When adding a new puzzle, the rating and review fields are available in the Add New Puzzle screen.


Rating and Reviewing Existing Puzzles

In addition to reviewing new puzzles, as you enter them, you can also rate and review puzzles you have previously added, as well as those submitted by others. IPDb encourages members to review puzzles after completion, regardless of who the original submitter was.  

If multiple people rate the same puzzle, an average rating of all ratings will be displayed.
