How to unlock the Fractal Fan achievement in Puzzle Arcade - Definitive Guide

Fractal puzzles are chosen from the single player menu. In essence, each piece of the puzzle is broken down into its own puzzle for each "level" in the puzzle.

For a 2-level puzzle, choose a picture with big clear images. A 16-piece puzzle will break down into essentially 17 puzzles (16 pieces plus the whole). The puzzle-piece puzzles (am I making sense?) will probably require about 24 pieces each. You should be able to complete a Level 2 Fractal Puzzle in about an hour without much difficulty.

You won't get as many edge pieces in the sub-puzzles, only around the outer sides of the main puzzle. Be sure to look at the shape of the piece you are building, as there are bound to be some unusual indents and protrusions around the outside. What you're building isn't EXACT to the reference image, but pretty darn close.

Set up a turbo match within the fractal puzzle menu so that you have an outline of the puzzle to follow. Saves you about half the time it would take to complete using classic. Use a small beginner puzzle to also simplify things.

This is a very good point - this can be done in 30 mins tops using this method - good solution.

Fractal puzzles are located in Single Player from the Main Menu. Select from one of these three puzzles and set the following:

Leadenhall Market - London, England
Sugarloaf Sunset
The Colosseum in Rome, Italy

Construction Mode - Turbo
Experience Level - Beginner
Preset - Small (12 pieces)

You start out on the second level with 12 puzzles to complete. Each puzzle has a total of around 25 pieces, and once you complete each of the 12 puzzles you will then move on to the first level of the puzzle. The first level is comprised of the first 12 puzzles you just completed. Each puzzle is turned into a piece, and then made into a puzzle itself, making the first level a puzzle with 12 pieces.
