Ravensburger Wicked 2 1500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (80 x 60cm) for Adults & Kids 12+
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a jigsaw that feels a bit more ‘proper puzzle’ than the flimsy end of the market, the Ravensburger Wicked 2 1500-piece puzzle is worth a look. It’s built around iconic characters and designs from the Wicked movie Part 2, and it’s aimed at adults and kids aged 12 and up.
On paper, this is the kind of 1500-piece option that sits nicely between casual family fun and a longer, more satisfying build. The finished size is listed as 80 x 60cm, so it’s the sort of puzzle you can actually display once you’re done (assuming you’ve got space for it).
What you’ll notice when building it
Ravensburger calls out a glare-free approach to the image: the puzzle uses an extra-thick cardboard base combined with fine, linen-structured paper. In plain terms, that’s the sort of construction that can make the picture easier to read under normal indoor lighting, and it tends to help the overall feel when you’re handling pieces.
There’s also an emphasis on making the experience smoother overall—less frustration from tricky visibility, more focus on matching the right shapes and colours. It’s especially handy if you tend to do your puzzling in the evening or around the same room where reflections can be annoying.
Key points for gifting and family time
This one is clearly positioned as both a grown-up and a teen-friendly activity. The age guidance (12+) suggests it’s not just for little kids, but it’s also not marketed as an adult-only, “expert hours on end” thing.
That makes it a decent choice if you want something that can be: - a birthday or Christmas gift for someone who likes puzzles - a shared family project that doesn’t end in tears after 30 minutes - a calmer solo activity for unwinding, especially if you’re the type to stick with a 1500-piece format
That said, if you’re buying for younger children, the age note is the reminder: it may not suit them right away even if they love the characters.

Where it shines (and where it might not)
Where it shines is the full experience: the combination of a strong subject matter (Wicked 2 imagery), a substantial piece count, and materials designed for a glare-free result. If you’ve struggled with puzzles where the print is hard to see or you end up squinting, this construction approach is the sort of detail that can matter.
But it may not be the best fit if you want something quick. With 1500 pieces and a final 80 x 60cm size, it’s more “settle in for a while” than “weeknight distraction”. Also, if you’re not keen on Wicked-style characters and artwork, you might find yourself less motivated to finish it—even if the build quality is solid.
Things to check before you buy
A couple of practical points to keep in mind:
Firstly, storage and workspace. A completed 80 x 60cm puzzle is not small, and 1500 pieces takes up more room than many casual options.
Secondly, your lighting and viewing preferences. The glare-free claim is a positive, but the real-world experience still depends on the room’s light and where you set up.
Who it’s for
It makes sense if you want a 1500-piece puzzle suitable for mixed-age households, or you’re looking for a puzzle you can stick with over multiple sessions. Ravensburger’s approach here leans towards an enjoyable, more considered build.
It may not suit you if you’re after a very small-format puzzle, or if you’re buying for children younger than the stated age range.
Is it worth it?
This is a good buy if you’re specifically after a 1500-piece Ravensburger puzzle with Wicked 2 artwork, a finished size of 80 x 60cm, and materials designed to reduce glare and improve the look of the image as you work. It’s also straightforward from a compliance point of view, as it’s stated to meet necessary UK and EU testing standards.
Skip it if you need something quicker, or if the subject matter doesn’t pull you in—because with 1500 pieces, motivation matters as much as the cardboard and paper.
