Replacement Parts

Games
Have you lost the instructions? Are you missing a game component or playing piece? It's unfortunate if a missing component is keeping you from having fun. That's why we're here to help. We can send you replacement game components by mail. Please fill out the form you'll find under Replacement Services with the necessary information. Please enter the name of the game, as well as the article number, in the replacement request form. You can find the six-digit article number on the box above the "age" and "number of players" symbols. Please describe the missing item. If this replacement piece is still available, it will be sent to you by mail.

We hope you'll understand that it is not possible for us to send game boards, complete colour sets or the entire contents of a game.
Unfortunately, we are also unable to send replacement items for discontinued products if they are no longer in stock. But please get in touch and we will help where we can.

2D Puzzles
What to do, if you've lost a puzzle piece?
Unfortunately, we are unable to match or supply individual replacement puzzle pieces for jigsaws with 5,000 pieces or less. One reason for this is that small colour changes can occur during the printing process. Also, after about 60,000 puzzles have been produced, the hand-made cutting tools are replaced, therefore the new cutter guide would not match puzzles from previous production runs. It is however possible to send replacement pieces for puzzles with 9,000 to 32,000 pieces.

Replacing pieces for jigsaws up to 5,000 pieces:
We use handmade cutters, which are periodically replaced during each production run. For this reason we cannot guarantee identical puzzle pieces would be achieved with regard to dimensions, positions or shading for each and every batch of puzzles produced. Differences can and do occur during the production process. Due to the quality of our products and the reasons stated above, we cannot offer an individual puzzle piece replacement service. In these cases please make contact with the retailer where the product was purchased, for a refund or replacement. However, as each case is different, we will always try to help where possible. Please contact our customer service team to find out if we are able to assist. If you do contact us please include the barcode number, item description, place and date of purchase, name, address and contact number.

Replacing pieces for jigsaws of 9,000 pieces and upwards:
Important: In order to be able to send you a replacement piece, our service team needs all of the following information:
(1) In which puzzle quadrant (A, B, C, D) is the missing piece?
(2) Which control number is printed on the corresponding plastic bag?
(3) What are the coordinates of the missing piece? Please map this out for each piece, moving from top to bottom and from left to right. It is also very helpful if you can e-mail us a digital photo. Our customer service department will also gladly help you over the phone.

2D Puzzles - FAQ
Q: I've lost a puzzle piece. Can I get a replacement?
A: You can find more information under the heading "Replacement Parts / 2D Puzzle".

Q: Does Ravensburger make picture frames for puzzles?
A: No, picture frames are not part of Ravensburger's product range. Custom­ made frames with the exact dimensions you need can be ordered at frame shops and galleries. Please note: The actual dimensions of a finished and sealed puzzle may be slightly different from the dimensions given on the box.

Q: In how many bags are the large piece count puzzles packaged?
A: The 9,000-piece puzzle is packed in two different bags and the 18,000-piece puzzle has 4 different bags. Our 32,000-piece jigsaw is packed in 8 different bags. You can decide for yourself whether you would like to put these puzzle sections together separately or mix all the pieces together to increase the level of difficulty.

Q: How can I seal my finished puzzle and hang it on the wall?
A: A puzzle which has been fixed and sealed with Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver can stand up, hang and even displayed for all to admire. By conserving your jigsaw, the puzzle image is protected and this keeps the colours from fading.

Q: How do I use Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver?
A: Place your completed puzzle with the image-side up on a flat surface. We suggest you place a few layers old newspaper between the flat surface and the jigsaw you are about to conserve. Important: Always shake the puzzle conserver vigorously before each use!
Then, brush the puzzle conserver carefully over the image. Make sure to apply the appropriate amount as indicated on the conserver bottle!
Let the puzzle dry for a day. The protective layer of newspaper may stick to the back of your jigsaw once dry, but this can easily be torn off.
For puzzles with up to 500 pieces, this is enough support and an adhesive hook can be attached. Puzzles with more than 500 pieces should also be glued down onto a piece of plywood for additional support. For this step, you can use either white wood glue, wallpaper paste or Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver.
To conserve 9,000-piece to 32,000-piece puzzles, you must first complete all the sections of the puzzle (from all the different bags) and fit them all together. We recommend using three bottles of Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver to seal a 9,000-piece puzzle and four bottles for an 18,000-piece puzzle. You may require up to 8 bottles of conserver for a 32,000-piece jigsaw.

Please note the following when using this product:
Shake the conserver well before use (glue particles sink over time).
Do not store the conserver at a temperature below 0° C.
If a puzzle is too damp during application, the cardboard may swell.
Make sure glue gets into the cracks between the puzzle pieces and don't rub the glue into the design image.
If there are clumps in the conserver, then it is too old and can no longer be used; you can easily tell whether there are any clumps by shaking the bottle.
Do not remove the sponge tip; simply clean the conserver by rinsing it under running water in the sink.
Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver should not be used on puzzles made by other companies.
