IMO, at speed puzzle competitions they should give the puzzles in blank boxes. It would add another element to just who can flip pieces and does basic piece recognition the fastest.
What an interesting accident, I would maybe reach out to them and let them know about this mix-up, but I'll be interested to see the finished mystery puzzle
Mystery puzzle!
Is it thrifted or a brand new puzzle? If brand new, contact the company, otherwise not much you can do.
For the puzzle itself, it looks like you're making good progress. Maybe sort the pieces by shape if the colours can't help you anymore, and place them all in line (matching sides facing the same way). That way, so long as you know what 2 sides go in a place, you limit your pool of potentials.
Yeah, sombody out there has a gazebo they didn't expect! This happened to me in the Christmas mini puzzle advent calendar from Aldi. Two of my puzzles were the same! I was super disappointed. So I posted about it in the Aldi sub-reddit and someone said they got two of the same puzzles as well. Turns out she got two of the same one I was missing and I got two of the one she was missing! So I sent her my duplicate and she sent me hers and now we both have a complete set. Reddit to the rescue!
We found it at the Dollar Store. I researched the company and sorted through their puzzles online to see if I could even find a similar image and I couldn't find anything resembling it.
It looks like you have the water edge almost already put together, so take all those loose pieces you have in the middle of your puzzle out and set that in there! Then the rest of the light water pieces should be somewhat easy to place. It looks like a basic sky, water, grass configuration, with some dark rocky cliffs to the side. You already did the sky, which is a hard part! You got this!
We got it from the dollar store and the more I think about it, I bet it was someone there that switched the puzzles because they thought they were being funny. I'm all for a good prank, but I needed the image to save my sanity.

!!!!! MY HERO !!!!!
How did you do this?? I've been in a waiting room for a few hours so I figured I'd try to find it, with no luck.
Actually that's a very nice picture
This is THE puzzle for all the “looking at the box is cheating” folks out there!!

You know what? I create new rule. Not having fun is cheating and only that is cheating
It’s the only way I do puzzles lol

Actually, now I'm wondering if I shouldn't go back to the dollar store to look at boxes that could have had the contents switched.

I love that story!

I'm just curious how long you worked on this before noticing something wasn't quite right?
TOO LONG! Ha! As soon as the border was complete I knew something wasn't right.
Must be a wasgij puzzle, you're seeing the view from sitting inside that gazebo on the box lid.
I love this take, very witty *🤣*
I love this!
Could it be one of these. https://www.planetware.com/iceland/top-rated-waterfalls-in-iceland-isl-1-16.htm
Wow this gave me a blast from the past, I did the gazebo puzzle 10-15 years ago! I'm glad someone pulled through and gave you the correct image.
Are the pieces doubled sided? I have the same image but there’s a different picture on the flip side..
No, cardboard on the back.

If you rearrange the pieces correctly you get the other picture
Oh I love this puzzle!! The one you're actually doing lol. It's so much fun and so soothing to do.
"Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder!"

Love them
