Comment on Every single jigsaw puzzle in the store was one of these.

I get people not wanting to look at the box to make sure the puzzle is right, but this is just shitty and it adds nothing to the jigsaw puzzle experience apart from unnecessary frustration.

Do most people not want to look at the box while solving a puzzle?

If my partner and I are anything like the average puzzle enjoyer, we look at the box for the big picture. Mostly until we have enough put together that we don’t need it any more. The only time we rely on the box more is when the puzzle is very repetitive with subtle differences

Depending on the puzzle, I might look at the box or I might not. The latter is a bigger challenge can be more fun.
However, I have never wanted to look at the box but not be sure if what I’m seeing on the box is in the puzzle. Someone else said they enjoyed it, but that just sounds maddening to me.
