-A '''puzzle globe''', also called ''jigsaw globe'', ''globe puzzle'', ''puzzle ball'', ''puzzle sphere'' or ''spherical puzzle'', is a [[Sphere|spherical]] assembly of [[Jigsaw puzzle|puzzle]] pieces that, when put together, form a complete sphere or [[globe]]. The [[Wikipedia]] logo is an example of such a puzzle, although, unlike the Wikipedia logo, actual puzzle globes will generally have a one-piece spherical [[Substrate (materials science)|substrate]] that supports the puzzle pieces as they are laid in place. In some puzzle globes the substrate is steel and the puzzle pieces are [[magnet]]ic; the magnetic attraction keeps pieces on the lower portion of the sphere from falling off.

-Like a 2-D puzzle, a globe puzzle is often made of cardboard and the assembled pieces form a single layer. Like a 3-D puzzle, the final form is a three-dimensional shape. Most globe puzzles have designs representing spherical shapes such as the [[Earth]], the [[Moon]], and historical globes of the Earth.
