You know one of the nice things about that second place is that it wasn't close. Like... You don't have the 'if only we had the plastic off faster' or 'if we had just moved that section earlier' or anything like that. It's actually nice to know that you did your best and the teeny tiny things that lost you a second or two absolutely didn't matter.
I was at this competition and I saw you win second place! I didn't know who you were at the time but I remember thinking, "That young girl is VERY happy!". I did not compete however, I only came to watch. I think it might be time to sign up next year. I didn't know about all the extra fun casual puzzle rooms either! Learned a lot from this video, thank you!
Karen, I think you definitely should consider your team 2nd overall. Golden State had too much of an advantage seeing the puzzle and develop a strategy beforehand. Compete with the best if you want to consider yourself the best. Congrats, Karen!
Yay! As a Minnesotan who’s been watching your channel for a year now, I’m so glad you could come to my state! (Despite the weather!) It’s been brutally cold this winter, even for those of us who have lived our whole lives with Minnesota winters, so extra props to you for taking it on! Congratulations on your 2nd and 3rd place finishes!
You have no idea how much I love these competition videos! I had no idea such things existed until your series last year, and now I’m trying to find some local puzzle competitions to join. Thank you for sharing these videos!
If you like glitter on a puzzle, the Ravensburger glitter gradient should be right up your alley. I did that over Christmas 2021 as my first ever gradient puzzle and it was more challenging than I expected going in. The actual glitter effect on the puzzle is only in some spots (I would have liked a bit more of that, tbh) but it is still very fun.
Is it just....a picture of glitter with some glitter on the top? WAIT Karen!! This could be such a fun DIY! She did a DIY gradient with spray paint, but can you imagine one with glitter? It'll live all over your house forever though 😂
I have never seen anyone smile as much as you do and you seem to be such a nice person. Your vids are unfortunately much fun, even though I am not a jigsaw puzzler. It is unfortunate because it's hard to justify the time spent over watching jigsaw puzzle contests, but it is relaxing and fun.
Thank you for sharing these experiences with it (and Katie for the graphs as always!). I love what you said about puzzling with a group of people who love it: something to do with your hands, something to talk about, and not having to look at each other. So relatable! I love puzzling, but wouldn't want to do it for speed. Also, great to see you on P4A this year! I'm so glad Hank didn't quit his puzzle!
Congratulations on 2nd place! ❤️ Also thank you for introducing me to puzzle competitions, I never knew they existed before seeing your videos. I now plan on competing in a local competition in a couple of months here in Australia (as an Australian I don’t know about Minnesota). I also would have competed as a child if I could.
@@SecretSquirrelFun I’m in Adelaide but I’m sure they have them in Sydney too. I also know there was a Nationals competition in Melbourne late last year.
Some aspects of the event seem a bit random (like anyone being able to enter any division and just having a play-off against team members on a tiny puzzle rather than a team grand final) but it looks really fun.
That was me! I gifted you “Z you around” (Phil, Los Rompecabezeros team captain). It took me ~3hrs with several interruptions. Glad you kept it and look forward to seeing your completion time :)
I don't think anyone was surprised how far Karen did the little solid color puzzle, with how many shape-only type puzzles she's done. Like the clear puzzles, and all the solid ones of course
You and your channel are what got me back into puzzling! I had had a thousand piece partially started in the garage for over a year and I pulled it out and finished it in like two weeks cause of you! And now I’m super into them and got some puzzles for my birthday and I’m so excited to do them. So thank you for bringing the joy of puzzling back to me!
Karen you are too cute. You draw people in with your personality. I started doing puzzles again because of you and even my child is doing gradient puzzles. Way to go girl 😊❤️
Who would have thought I could feel so happy and have such a big smile on my face for someone I didn't know about a couple of weeks ago! I have only just got back into jigsaws and so have been binge watching this channel. A big congrats Karen, both for how well you did in Minnesota and for the pleasure you bring to us watching and learning from you 😃
I truly love these competition videos. Thank you for taking the time and effort it clearly takes to put them together! I hope you had a blast in Minnesota!
I love to watch these video’s of puzzle competitions. Your passion for puzzles finds it way across the world to my country The Netherlands. Thank you so much for that! ❤
i really liked that you blurred out the kid’s faces. some other content creators wouldn’t have cared about it but it’s the little things that make me come back to your videos !
Perfect timing! I have my first puzzle competition ever next week. Just doing it for fun -- but this video was super helpful in letting me know what to expect.
Minnesota. Love this. Congratulations on your wonderful results at the competition and on making it exciting and fun. I definitely enjoy watching your regular videos and puzzles reviews. The competitions are taking your videos to the next level.
Hey there... It is just fun to see these competition clips... The fun that your team is having, but also the community, talking with others and just the atmosphere at such an event... Great work at doing it...
Watching your puzzle competition videos is what finally got me into jigsaw puzzles! I'd like to get a timer even though I'm slow, just to keep track for fun 😁
That’s crazy that you got 2nd place twice! (first time at the National Championships in individual category) It’s also awesome that Sarah Schuler got 1st here and 3rd at Nationals. If you and Sarah competed again with Yvonne on your team you’d be unstoppable!
This new upload was such a pleasant surprise after I've been binging all your puzzle videos (especially love the competition breakdowns!). You've inspired me and my family to get back into puzzling after we had our puzzle phase during lockdown! Doing a speed puzzling event with my family would be so much fun, but I don't know if we'd travel all the way to Minnesota just for it! ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to MinneSNOWta. As always, you did an excellent recap of the competition! I also thoroughly enjoyed your P4A session on Friday with Hank :)
That is awesome Karen. Congrats on your second place wins. I love watching all your videos and love watching you solve difficult puzzles while timing yourself. Keep up the great videos and I will continue watching. I live in Canada which is similar weather to Minnesota but just a bit colder.
Congratulations on the Minnesota event as a member of “Jiggy Pudding”. I tried to think of what a good one-word team name might be. I decided “Minotaurs” would be a good name, because the Minotaur literally lived inside a puzzle. (A maze being a type of puzzle.)
Thanks for sharing! I was born and raised in Minneapolis so it’s fun to see our hometown comp getting the love. 🥰 We competed in Adult 4 this year and I was so excited when I saw the winter carnival people post a photo of your team! It’s so fun to watch your strategy compared to ours. Hopefully you’ll come back again!
Wow Minnesota sure looked cold! Congratulations on your finishing time! I’d love love love to see a video of you racing the old 1986 Competition Puzzle! ❤ it’s so cool that you got to meet the famous Mike and that he recorded the finishing times for the 1986 competition! I was also very excited for you that you beat Tammy with the glitter puzzle. I’d sure love to have a glitter puzzle made by you 😊
Minnesotan here. It's too bad that they don't have something like this in the summer when our weather is more hospitable so the visitors can see more of our beautiful state. Although like other commenters have said, 1 degree in January is almost toasty. Congrats on your team's excellent job and well done to all the teams that participated. It looks like a blast. I hope to be able to join you one day.
I love these videos of you with other puzzle fans. It really adds another dimension to your channel. And especially since you alway seem to have a good time. And it’s good for you to get out of your puzzle room! Nice work!
33:09 that’s my team! We are pleased to know we still might pass as minors despite pushing 30. Haha! :P. I am glad you came and enjoyed! :). Congrats on the excellent finishes!
Oh my goodness! I have lived in this state for years, participated in Winter Carnival events and yet never heard of the puzzle competition! I am going to have to check it out next year. Awesome job and contgrats on 2nd place.
Congratulations! The cutest thing of the video is the key chain heart and you mentioning that your sister gets the second part. :-) Greeting from an Austrian who has even been to Minnesota once...
Karen not only being like one of the absolute top competitors, but also highlighting and basically reporting like a sport journalist for the top speed puzzlers. And I think sheds light on this super nieche but I think cool speed puzzling community.
I love that you braved our cold MINNESOTA weather ❤ That building is where my high school proms were held - it's cool to see it again! Did you get to see any of the carnival?
🧩Congratulations on 2nd place Karen and team! You are all so great working together in perfect harmony - machines couldn't have been smoother! It all looks like so much fun .
I absolutely love your videos and when you’re doing the competitions it’s like I’m holding my breath until it commercial comes in there or an ad comes in and then I breathe then I watch you again. It’s wonderful you guys got second. I didn’t freeze to death
Get this video in front of enough people and you will start a wave of new puzzler families. You made this so exciting. Great job thinking on the spot and getting all the footage. This is one of your best.
Yes to puzzle community! I found out a co-worker of mine puzzles and it's been so fun talking about puzzles and swapping our faves! I hope to find a puzzle event in my area
Oh hey I’m from Minnesota! that’s the Landmark Center! I was just there for an event in February and also performed in an opera across the street at the Ordway! I had no clue this was going on lol welcome to St. Paul during the Winter Carnival - it’s cold and there are SO many events happening all at once 😂
Congrats! So glad you could make it to Minnesota! I chuckle at the thought that 1 degree is cold. We’ve been having a warmer winter this year and to me anything above 0 is quite warm
Oh Karen your hands shaking showing your second place button❤ You are amazing ! Edit: YOU MET MIKE OF SPRINGBOK FEVER??!! That’s like meeting a celebrity!
Honestly, props to you for just getting through that weather, especially since you're from LA. Other commenters are right that our winter has been brutal this year, and where I live in particular we've been rapidly fluxuating between extreme cold and days that are pretty warm (warm being ~30 degrees). This upcoming week we're in for a big snowstorm and some brutal cold, which tends to be par for the course for late Februrary. Happens every three years or so by my estimate.
The casual puzzling afterward looked like so much fun! I'm not speed puzzler but if I wasn't such an introvert I wouldn't mind being a helper at events like this. And, maybe participate in the casual puzzling.🙂 *Minnesota*
This was a great video! Thanks for the wonderful work you put into it! Everyone was an inspiration! Thank you all puzzlers and thanks: Minnesota!💕🙋♀️🌲🌲🌲💕
Thank you for being able to visit my home state! I hope you got to see other events around the towns, like the winter carnival and the Mall of America.
Minnesota seems to be a state that is loved with feverish devotion by the people who come from there, so I imagine there will be a few of those wooden state puzzles being snapped up for next year’s Christmas stockings!

Hello my friend
Karen what an accomplishment, you really do shine in any and all puzzle competitions. It’s a pleasure to watch you .
Karen, no one is wondering how you ended up there of all places.
😂😂😂
I feel like that was a movie quote she started with but I can’t remember what movie
@@andreafeelsfantasticIt’s Deadpool
@@andreafeelsfantastic it's all the movies, it was a pretty popular way to start them off in the 00s
I love how you went from “first competition ever 😗✌🏻” to being one of the best puzzlers in the friggin country in a few months oh my GOSH!
Gullible.
@@atlantic_love?
You know one of the nice things about that second place is that it wasn't close. Like... You don't have the 'if only we had the plastic off faster' or 'if we had just moved that section earlier' or anything like that.

Go for it! 👍
Just go for it.
I love how you narrate so calmly when theres like a lot happening at the same time
"Humpty Dumpty Emergency Response Team" is my favorite jigsaw team name of all time
Karen, I think you definitely should consider your team 2nd overall. Golden State had too much of an advantage seeing the puzzle and develop a strategy beforehand. Compete with the best if you want to consider yourself the best. Congrats, Karen!

You have no idea how much I love these competition videos! I had no idea such things existed until your series last year, and now I’m trying to find some local puzzle competitions to join. Thank you for sharing these videos!
I put a link in the description to a page on the Speed Puzzling website with a list of in-person competitions (for if you're in the US)
Finally, my comfort content creator posted a new video

Whereabouts in Australia? I’m in Sydney. I’m going to look online for puzzle comps/meet ups right now 🙂
@@SecretSquirrelFun I’m in Adelaide but I’m sure they have them in Sydney too. I also know there was a Nationals competition in Melbourne late last year.
@@rachf I'm an Adelaidian too. We have puzzle competitions here?? 😂
@@rachf There's puzzle events here?? Whaaa I'm gonna have to google this
What I love about you and your videos is that you always seem on the verge of some kind of marvelous insanity.
Some aspects of the event seem a bit random (like anyone being able to enter any division and just having a play-off against team members on a tiny puzzle rather than a team grand final) but it looks really fun.
That was me! I gifted you “Z you around” (Phil, Los Rompecabezeros team captain). It took me ~3hrs with several interruptions. Glad you kept it and look forward to seeing your completion time :)

I didn't know about this company, and I LOVE the twist idea! I will have to check out their puzzles.
I truly love these competition videos. Thank you for taking the time and effort it clearly takes to put them together! I hope you had a blast in Minnesota!
Well congratulations making it to 2nd place is excellent and your enthusiasm makes you number one!!! You rock!!!
For the rest of the world, 1 degree Fahrenheit is ~ -17 C
"You can just see the pain in my eyes" lol, yup, we sure can! , yet another epic Video, loved it!!!
I love the building this competition was held in. It looks like it has so much history.

Getting JIggy with it watching Jiggy Pudding, a phrase I never thought I'd say haha but here I am.
Watching your puzzle competition videos is what finally got me into jigsaw puzzles! I'd like to get a timer even though I'm slow, just to keep track for fun 😁
Minnesota. A joy to watch so many people intently doing something they dearly love. congrats on your 2nd/ 3rd place finish.
Just got back into puzzling after about a 20-year absence and found your channel.
Your videos are really inspiring and very fun to watch
You are great at making these videos. On the edge of my seat. The suspense build up and sum up the progress and finish.
Minnesota looks like a great place to meet fellow crazed puzzlers 😂👌🏻
Great video again, can’t wait for you to start your next GIANT PUZZLE 😍✨
That’s crazy that you got 2nd place twice! (first time at the National Championships in individual category) It’s also awesome that Sarah Schuler got 1st here and 3rd at Nationals. If you and Sarah competed again with Yvonne on your team you’d be unstoppable!

Karen not only being like one of the absolute top competitors, but also highlighting and basically reporting like a sport journalist for the top speed puzzlers.
And I think sheds light on this super nieche but I think cool speed puzzling community.
They should totally do outdoor winter puzzle solving. I'd watch the hell out of that!
With gloves and snow goggles on…..
I love that you braved our cold MINNESOTA weather ❤ That building is where my high school proms were held - it's cool to see it again! Did you get to see any of the carnival?
I am so glad you came to my home- Minnesota
I wanted to go to meet you, but it just didn’t happen this year.
You betcha I will be there next year!
Thanks for sharing! I think I enjoyed watching this just as much as you did participating.
🧩Congratulations on 2nd place Karen and team! You are all so great working together in perfect harmony - machines couldn't have been smoother! It all looks like so much fun .
So excited to watch this! Been following all the instagram updates :D
I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life and never knew about this!!! Defiantly going next year!🥰
Yessssss 😃 new puZZLE COMPETITION content! Thanks for sharing 😊

Yay!! So proud of you guys, great teamwork
This video really makes me want to visit Minnesota…in the summer! 😂 I really enjoyed this video and I hope to get my hands on that cute gnome puzzle.
Get this video in front of enough people and you will start a wave of new puzzler families. You made this so exciting. Great job thinking on the spot and getting all the footage. This is one of your best.
Thank you! I worked really hard on it.

I had no clue this was going on lol welcome to St. Paul during the Winter Carnival - it’s cold and there are SO many events happening all at once 😂
This shows that what makes a puzzle more difficult is the picture rather than the pieces ammount
Congrats! So glad you could make it to Minnesota! I chuckle at the thought that 1 degree is cold. We’ve been having a warmer winter this year and to me anything above 0 is quite warm
These videos are always so fun to watch!
I love seeing how you learned from previous experiences and improved your strategies. You got even faster. The name doesn't matter.
It's truly wild that I've lived in Minnesota my entire life and I didn't know about this competition until you posted about it.
Congratulations! That looks so fun. So many cool looking puzzles.
EB and I were together this day just watching all of your times come in like a major sports competition. Hopefully we'll be there next year!
You better
Omg that intro 😂. Nailed the "My Name Is Earl" tiktok trend.
Woo all those lovely charts! Loved the colour coding to show it was expert heavy for the shortest few but evened out after that
Oh Karen your hands shaking showing your second place button❤ You are amazing !
Edit: YOU MET MIKE OF SPRINGBOK FEVER??!! That’s like meeting a celebrity!
Is the Springbok Fever website still active?
Congrats on your team 2nd place. I can't get over how awkward those large round tables are
Honestly, props to you for just getting through that weather, especially since you're from LA. Other commenters are right that our winter has been brutal this year, and where I live in particular we've been rapidly fluxuating between extreme cold and days that are pretty warm (warm being ~30 degrees). This upcoming week we're in for a big snowstorm and some brutal cold, which tends to be par for the course for late Februrary. Happens every three years or so by my estimate.
I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life and never knew there was such a big puzzling community here! Definitely inspired to join in 🤗
😂 @ the opening! Such a 90s kid ❤
I would love to see an interview with the Springbok Fever website guy! Would be fascinating to see his story!
The casual puzzling afterward looked like so much fun! I'm not speed puzzler but if I wasn't such an introvert I wouldn't mind being a helper at events like this. And, maybe participate in the casual puzzling.🙂 *Minnesota*
@@lazyhomebody1356 Thanks for the encouragement! I'm also hearing impaired so that makes interaction ever more difficult.
What fun to go to Minnesota for a puzzle competition, you guys looked like you had s blast. 🎉
Fascinating! Thanks for putting in the links.
I’ve never competed, but it looks amazing! Excited to try Puzzle Twist.
I'm so happy for you! Great puzzling
OMG, the beginning 😂🤣 Too funny!
This was a great video! Thanks for the wonderful work you put into it! Everyone was an inspiration! Thank you all puzzlers and thanks: Minnesota!💕🙋♀️🌲🌲🌲💕
Thank you for being able to visit my home state! I hope you got to see other events around the towns, like the winter carnival and the Mall of America.
Minnesota seems to be a state that is loved with feverish devotion by the people who come from there, so I imagine there will be a few of those wooden state puzzles being snapped up for next year’s Christmas stockings!
