Review of Hobbico's New Visual Echo Puzzles with Eye Popping 3D Art

Chris Tidwell
Puzzles are great for quiet fun, but unfortunately have remained virtually unchanged over the years. True, there have been a few innovative ideas that have developed in the world of puzzles, but all in all the designs and concepts have remained the same, until now. Hobbico has introduced a series of puzzles called Visual Echo, Puzzle Effects that Dazzle your Eyes! These new puzzles are unlike anything that you have ever put together, because they display a moving 3D image!

Visual Echo puzzles use computers to manipulate their pieces so they look like moving images when you move your head slightly, and the pictures seem to pop out at you! The puzzles show actual depth when completed, something that will keep you entertained long after the last piece has been set into place.

The Puzzles by Visual Echo look amazing; these are no kiddy puzzles by any means. They depict images of nature, such as a school of clown fish, and large gathering of butterflies, and jungle scenes. What's really great about the Visual Echo puzzles is that they are actual reproductions of paintings done by renowned artist Royce B. McClure.

Royce McClure has been working as an artist as a full time career since 1975, and has really made a name for himself with his nature inspired pictures. The work Royce does really does reflect his love of nature and his passion for diving. The Visual Echo puzzles that feature Royce's undersea art are the most visually stunning from the series with life like detail and underwater landscapes that show incredible depth.

Each Visual Echo puzzle is a miniature work of art that anybody can enjoy, and the 3D effects added make the puzzles that much more enjoyable. Now don't go thinking that these puzzles are easy to put together by any means, because nothing could be further from the truth. Each Visual Echo puzzle comes with 500 pieces, and will be a slight challenge for anyone to get together, and you had better have a lot of space to work in as each puzzle is 20" by 16" making them rather large.

If you enjoy doing puzzles and are looking for something new and exciting then I would suggest picking up one of the many Visual Echo puzzles. The 3D effects incorporated into each set brings an entirely new element to the world of puzzles and with amazing art work by Royce B. McClure you'll have a stunning masterpiece by time your done. Also each puzzle comes with a set of instructions on how to care for the puzzles after completion, since the pieces are made differently to capture the new 3D effects.

    Are the clear view puzzles I'm seeing now also the 3-d type. I love the visual echo and would like to purchase some of the clear view but don't want them if they' not 3-d

    I do puzzles all the time and I must say I have enjoyed your butterflies puzzle more than anything I have done so far. It was such good quality construction and so exciting to work on. I only can hope that you will come out with many more designs in the near future, and I am looking forward to doing my next one. I have 3 other puzzle to start on but am going out tomorrow to purchase another visual echo instead.
    Thanks for the pleasure you have brought to me.
