Order placed! I picked marbles and a balloon one. They could use some less-dated designs. Ties, soda bottles and kitties are about 30 years outta style imo
Now I have to order some puzzles 😍👌🏼 but unfortunately can't use you code, Sweden here 😅🇸🇪
I'm so happy, that Springbok sponsored you! ❤️
It shows that your Instagram page isn’t there anymore
Excellent job Karen beautiful puzzle
fun fact: the final piece placed in the 60 puzzle is the same piece used to demonstrate why she decided to not work on the edge first
8:56 & 13:19 this is a factual statement
Just as Springbok celebrated their 60th Anniversary with a commemorative puzzler, I think they will celebrate their 100th with another commemorative puzzler, and you'll complete it, as enjoyable nostalgia from a job you had in your youth.
omg I guess we’ll find out in 40 years 😂
I’m willing to watch from my home on the moon
Hey, we could still be watching her do puzzles with her kids or something for all we know. Probably not in the same format she does videos now though, lmao.
@@KarenPuzzles Honestly they might do one for the 75th hahaha.
Karen, my wife and I (married 51 years) love your channel and we are excited whenever you post a new video. You have reignited our interest in doing puzzles together. Thank you for the quality of your videos !
You add me to the list of people who did not know Springbok was still in business. I will definitely seek them out, except maybe not the puzzler!
Springbok as your sponsor? That's just a perfect match. Congratulations!
The finishing of the edge on the first one was a cinematic masterpiece
Honestly, it looked really cool _without_ the edge!
It was so so so satisfying!!
I loved that part to!
Hey Karen: just letting you know that I’m almost done with my very first 500 piece puzzle! I’ve never completed a puzzle in my life, and chances are I never would’ve thought to. But thanks to you and your channel, I’m in the home stretch!
That’s amazing? Which puzzle was it?
@@KarenPuzzles Cozy Cabana by Ravensburger. I picked it because A) it was on sale for Prime Day, and B) it had a lot of distinct sections and color separation (a tip from your videos!). It’s taken me probably 4-6 hours over the course of three days, but I think I can finish it today!
Update: the puzzle’s done!! Thanks for the inspiration and the tips!!
Loved the failed puzzle flip at the end. I didn't know springbok puzzles were made in US still and their puzzle quality seems to have stayed high which is amazing. 60 years is quite an accomplishment.
to be honest, i appreciate that you review puzzles that are inaccessible to the average person, because then we're still able to experience the puzzle even if we couldn't buy it or find it
I would literally watch an entire video of puzzle pieces clicking into place for ASMR.
Yes! I would love that
Hopefully Karen sees this and gives you what you want 👍🏼
@itsmephil2255 Well, she saw it and liked it!
what is ASMR ?
@@booklover6963 autonomous sensory meridian response
i sincerely love the fact that very real BIG puzzle brands sponsoring you and your work, it’s so cute 😭💕
21:05 Maybe a fun idea for a special: collect a couple of the old ordering forms in these puzzles (for companies that are still in service!), and follow their mail-in instructions to order a puzzle. See if they'll respond to you or even send you a puzzle as ordered, and how quickly it is delivered. It might be a fun shoot-out between the various brands!
Idk why this is such an amusingly good idea
I SOOOOO appreciate your editing efforts, watching this was fun
I would love to see Mark's robot try to solve this puzzle, haha. I imagine the piece shapes on pieces shapes would really mess with it xD I loved the spiral solve for the last bit of the puzzle! And rip to that drop at the end, haha.
I think the random cut shapes would mess it up more than the design!
Mark's robot would not be able to solve this with its current software as it assumes a puzzle that is a regular rectangular coordinate grid of which this is not. Also this puzzle is circular and the robot only understands rectangles. Writing a program to solve this is immensely more difficult I would imagine.
Lol I was just about to comment this and then thought I'd better check the comments to see if anyone had already said it!
I just wanted to say thank you for your work as your videos have inspired me to get into jigsaw puzzles. I recently bought a 1000 piece one where after you complete the puzzle you need to find the Easter eggs on the puzzle ( the puzzle is video game themed so you need to find a total of 101 references)
I would love this. I just purchased one from Springbok where you have to find the items after finishing the puzzle.
I did the 60 year puzzle a few months back! I got it because of your first video and it’s nice to see you doing this new one!
Love that! Did you like it?
@@KarenPuzzlesI loved it except for the fact I lost a piece! it happens though haha
The editing of this video looks like it took as long as the puzzle itself. WOW.
Hey Karen & Karenfans - I have a puzzle question for you. When I was younger, early 90s - I had a jigsaw puzzle called 'The Worlds Hardest Jigsaw Puzzle' - and the gimmick was that it was a doublesided puzzle and each piece had a small square taken out. On one side of the puzzle was a traditional picture (what it was completely eludes me) -- but the other side of the puzzle was all clock-faces and the squares were the faces of the clocks.
Supposedly you could do the puzzle both ways, the "easy" way was doing the picture, but the hard way was figuring out the pattern of clockfaces. I've hunted for this puzzle, and I really thought it was made by Buffalo since they have the 'WORLDS HARDEST' line with double-sided puzzles, but I haven't been able to find this particular quirk of pieces missing from inside the traditional pieces.
Anyway, if you have a link for some place I could look or maybe even you've heard of it - I'd be super thankful. Thank you for the potential help and all of your great content. 🙂
I hope she sees this. I’d be really curious to see this! It sounds awesome!
Hi, I had three of these puzzles as a kid too. They are by Buffalo games. I can't link directly to them but if you search "Buffalo Games Greatest Jigsaw Puzzle of all Time Third Episode" you'll find the one you're looking for. Of the whole series that one was my favorite and I knew exactly which one you're looking for. Hope that helps! Happy puzzling!
I’m pretty sure Puzzlephile did a video putting this puzzle together. It’s called “Was this really the greatest puzzle of all time?”
The RUclips Channel Puzzlephile did this Puzzle about a year ago
I answered this question earlier but my answer was removed for some reason. Buffalo Games, "The Greatest Jigsaw Puzzle of All Time: Second Episode" (1991). Puzzlephile did a video on it June 27, 2023.
Karen, I discovered your channel during COVID-19 lockdown. I don't do puzzles myself these days, but watching you reminds me of my late father, who often had a puzzle underway at one end of the dining table. If there was a big family dinner, we would help him move the puzzle-in-progress off the table -- carefully. We weren't a speed puzzling family -- more of a wander by, place a few pieces, and move on group. When he died, my brothers and I took huge numbers of puzzles to Goodwill. Watching you brings back fond memories.
Another super satisfying thing with this video is when you put the pieces right in time with the music! Love the editing!
I grew up doing vintage Springbok puzzles. I'm happy that they're still going strong. Happy puzzling!
I definitely didn't know Springbok was still out there selling puzzles!! 🤣 I love your video style and editing Karen, and you are constantly improving the quality of your videos, thank you so much, loved the review! ♥
I'm so excited! Springbok puzzles aren't sold in my country and Amazon shipping is $$$$ but I finally found one on our country's version of eBay and I can pick it up in 3 days time! Can't wait to try my first one ❤
Yes you can definitely say you've improved, it's been an interesting journey experiencing you going from an avid hobbyist to participating in speed puzzling competitions 🎉😊
I like the way you framed your face with the last puzzle and then finished it off spiraling into the center . This video was first one I watched today and like all your videos you radiate a positive vibe with your enthusiasm and smiling face and that for sure is a reason why Springbok sponsored you! That oops moment at end!😊
You had a little clip from the British comedy “The IT Crowd.” I watched it post-pandemic years after it finished. Your clip features Noel Fielding, who is hilarious. 60!
I love that show 😂
I enjoy Noel Fielding on the great British bake off every night here in Canada. They call it the great British baking show. He is so funny
i remember the reason I got back into puzzling after finding you was not the satisfaction i felt watching the puzzle get completed, it was when you ran your hand over the whole completed puzzle i forgot how amazing that felt and wanted it again LOL it's such a satisfying activity
I really loved how you presented the differences between each puzzle, it shows how much attention you put to details! I don't think I would have noticed any of it
I have a 500 piece vintage Springbok with the shrink wrap still on from 2012. You’ve inspired me to get it started! It’s called Twist of Color and it’s all crayons sticking up from a cup. 60!
Growing up, i did almost exclusively Springbok puzzles... and they are still some of my favorites!
I, honestly, don't have the time or room to puzzle as much as I would like. But... i am VERY tempted to use the promo and get a new puzzle from them!
I fell for it. You can too!
14:44 IT Crowd reference! ❤ Karen has referenced so many of my favorite things, vintage puzzles, RPDR, and now niche British tv :)
I love it when you make challenges for yourself. The edge on the "60"th Anniversary puzzle was so fun!
Those other springbok images were gorgeous! The circle of flowers with butterflies, and that Easter puzzle, their picture options are totally my style!! I am currently doing a puzzle with unique shapes and have struggled a little, so your springbok video is perfect timing! 😅
Thank you so much for making the content that you do. I'm in my mid-20s and I realized what a passion I have for puzzle making through your videos. I got my first puzzle recently was able to finish it within 2 days at a thousand pieces was very happy with the result went out and bought another one right away so I just want to thank you so much for inspiring me and I'm sure many other people please continue to do what you do.
For me, the colours used in the older puzzles would have added a couple of hours to my time. The high contrast of the colours in the puzzle from 2000 automatically make it a much easier puzzle, in my opinion.
I'm glad you had fun going back to these puzzles, instead of being tortured by them. 😂
Karen, I've learned so much watching your methods of approaching a puzzle. If only my puzzle group understood that taking the time to sort & organize the pieces makes putting together a puzzle so much easier in the end! ❤ and THX!!!!
I absolutely love the Postage stamp and Life Savers vintage puzzles from Springbok - so much!
You have re-ignited my love for puzzles. My mom loved them. As a kid i would always get sick. I had to sit out on a lot of things. I remember sitting in her lap one day while she was doing a puzzle. I was trying so hard to find a piece. My mom gave me one and told me where to place it. I got so happy when it went in. We eventually got it done. She would buy us puzzles to do through out the years.
I love Springbok! I like how some pieces are dancing alone until the next lock them up. In this one, as you said, the castles, the funky ones and, on your next line, I call them "the running people" Yeah, I said it, love springbok!!
I cannot believe I just spent 41:33 minutes watching this video; it went by so quickly and was enjoyable to watch! I love puzzles that lock together; I'm not a speed-puzzler, so that aspect is not an issue. That said, I think I would like to seek out the 60th anniversary puzzle - you've convinced me to try an "impossible" type puzzle. I have enjoyed every Springbok puzzle I've done; granted, most of them are vintage, either at the time (80s onward) or finding vintage puzzles now. I guess it's' time to try some new Springboks as well 🤔 Thanks for the tip about rectangle/square vs round ☺️
I don't think I'll be doing the 60th anniversary Springbok, but I do like their puzzles -- especially the round one with all the weird-flavored soda bottles in it. (It's called "Carbonated Colors," and it's really fun.). My favorite images include gradients achieved with actual objects, not blank color fields, and landscapes with bright, colorful gradient skies, like sunsets.
I'm also glad you addressed the loose piece fit of the modern Springbok round puzzles; people sometimes hear of how robust they were in the past and can be disappointed when they get a modern one. I'm also VERY pleased to hear that this isn't the case for their rectangular puzzles! I may pick one up now, knowing that those ones still have that nice strong fit.
ETA: I'm also pleased that you were able to be sponsored by Springbok! Sometimes companies can make people sign exclusivity deals, and I think it reflects well on Ravensburger that they didn't do that.
One of my aunts had the original Puzzler and when she told me about it, I really wanted to try it, but sadly she never was able to find it after she mentioned it to me. I missed your original videos on these puzzles, but after watching this one, I just had to go by the 60 anniversary edition! Can't wait to get it, and definitely will be looking at Springbok's site for more interesting puzzles to do!
Very nice Karen, well done. You got me to the world of puzzels with your channel a year ago, love you From Holland.
I grew up near Kansas City and my family owned a lot of Springbok puzzles. I didn't realize til I watched this video how unique their piece shapes are. They seemed normal to me because nearly every puzzle I did through childhood was a Springbok!
The colors of these puzzles have definitely improved over the years. Also ... Lisa Frank ... brings back memories! I used to collect Lisa Frank stickers when I was a kid. I liked those colors too.
My Aunty has a vintage Wadington round puzzle from the 1960s which was the brand that inspired Springbok. It was so much fun to do and the piece cut did remind me of Springbok.
Very cool! I should try to track one down.
Your face at the end when you attempt the flip was so funny! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the video!
You're a true source of inspiration for me. Thank you. You have such a good energy and a good spirit.
This was a really fun video to watch. Accessible puzzles and rare puzzles are both entertaining to watch.
A springbok was the first puzzle I pulled out after being inspired to start puzzling again by this channel. Thank you, I loved puzzles growing up and I’m so happy it’s back in my life.
I've done these puzzles - all three I could find.. How I did this was seprarate all the pieees that did NOT have a certain color, yellow, for example and then i could put together all the pieces with some yellow. lather rinse repeat with blue, then it was easier.
Great video as always. Neat to learn more about Springbok. Like you mentioned, I always think of the vintage ones and almost didn't realize that they still make puzzles, lol. I also love that you bust up the "freebies".... I've always done that, and am pretty sure my husband thinks I'm a wierdo. No cheating! Hahaha
Oh my gosh! This is the first time you've done a puzzle that I've done (aside from your own)! I don't know why that excites me so much but that butterfly flower puzzle was so fun!
Such a fun video, Karen. Thank you for braving to do these yet again.
Happy 60th, Springbok!
The funny thing for me is that _most_ of the jigsaw puzzles I've solved in my life have been theirs. It totally spoiled me on most other brands! "What do you _mean_ all the pieces fit a nice neat grid? What fun is _that_ going to be?!" It still to this day strikes me as uncanny-valley off-putting to see a jigsaw puzzle that _doesn't_ have "odd piece shapes".
I stopped this video to try and see how many colours were in each puzzle. I should have known to wait! The comparison of each puzzle was really interesting. 60 years of puzzles is amazing.
I loved the editing on this video! You're a master!
For a while I was thinking these two black boxes (0:01) are pictures of pizza :)
Springbok does have a vintage pizza one. I actually bought and solved that one!
Thank you for the vintage comparison it was the type of view I love. I do mainly Charles Wysocki and variants but am stretching to 2000 piece and different styles. You are one of my four inspirations.
I don't mind watching you do "inaccessible" puzzles. They're interesting to see and not ones I'd necessarily do myself (looking right at you, pink Krypt puzzle!). Plus, I mean, you get so many "freebies" from the puzzle companies, I would never be able to catch up, even if I had 60 years to do so! So, you keep doing you...
Agreed!
I found two vintage Puzzlers at the thrift store and have been scared to try them ! However, watching you do them in this video (I saw your previous Puzzler videos), gives me some hope !
Springbok are my favorite puzzles! Glad to see you working with them.
My puzzle love began in the late 60's/70's and Springbok puzzles were my favorite back then. I'm on the hunt for some of those much loved puzzles.
It was worth the wait to see that time lapse finish with the border pieces .
Very well done 😊
The colors on the one from the 2000s are so pretty. Definitely the best looking one of the 4.
I had no idea springbok still made puzzles. I’ll have to try one
I just did the Easter Egg one. Love that type of image. Springbok has unique puzzle designs that are so fun.
Our family had 3...? Springbok puzzles when I was a really little kid, but then I'm just a few years older than the company itself. I remember we had one that was a medieval painting of the nativity, one I can't remember and my favorite that was zillions of butterflies. The puzzle stayed on the table in this odd nook off our livingroom and we'd just work on it whenever. It's how the puzzler bug bit me. :) My husband and I now have a similar table that always has an on-going puzzle, now almost always Ravensburger. But this video has me itching for trying a Springbok.
I’d like Springbok to re-issue the Prismatic puzzle behind you, ever since your video I’ve been coveting it, the colours are so good together. If Springbok ask you for ideas, please recommend that one!
I don’t know if the art puzzles can be rereleased because of copyright and licensing, but I would love to see that too!
What struck me most about the 60s version was the colours! There was this very distinct light blue and light purple shade added to the original colours and I think that was a very interesting choice and further making it more fun for probably a lot of puzzlers
Sixty ❤️. I love this video and the in-depth comparison of each iteration of the Puzzler. Thank you!
I would love it if Springbok reissued another version of the Prismagic puzzle. I just finished the first one and it is gorgeous. It would be super cool to get an updated edition of it.
Watching your puzzle mantages always soothes my anxiety! You are a brilliant puzzler!! Still working on a 9,000 peice 8mos later! Keep being amazing!
You amaze me, Karen. I've been doing puzzles for years but I do not try to be quick and I glue many of them when they are finished.
Great puzzles and amazing seeing them completed
Excellent puzzling Karen,
I didn't know Springbok was still around, I'll buy one of their puzzles ASAP
I usually see them at hallmark stores :)
my favourite one is the second one for sure. the hexagon shape is super cool and I don't think the colours are boring at all, is just a more autumnal palette made for those of us who dislike bright colours 😁
Such high quality editing on the first puzzle when you did the edge pieces.
Very impressive, nice to watch! Also love the blooper at the end 😄
Hello Karen - great video as always. I believe that the puzzle that was taken back to America was made here in good old Blighty by Waddington's. In fact the images of some early circular Springboks at 16:15 show a few puzzles which were available in the UK through Waddington's and the artwork probably originated here too.
60! Bravo on another great video. Your work always just makes me happy - thanks for doing what you do. I am a big fan of the retro geometric patterns on many of the vintage Springbok puzzles, so it would be great to see them revisit them a little more.
My family had a favorite puzzle that we returned to year after year as I was growing up. Verticleville was a Springbok puzzle that I always found more details every time I did the puzzle. Great memories! (I thought puzzles with a regular grid of standard pieces were weird the first time I encountered one!)
This was one of the puzzles we got my grandmother for a Christmas in the late 70’s or early 80’s 😂😂😂😂
So exciting! Springbok are my favorite puzzles! They are so nice to do ❤
I want Springbok to bring back that specific mandala puzzle that's on your shelf so badly! It hurts my heart that it's a vintage rarity. It's so beautiful. I laughed when you said that they suggested to do a more "accessible puzzle for average people" LOL!
I'm attracted to novelty and rarity, so I adore that that's what you tend to focus on more. It's soooo satisfying seeing all,of the Puzzler puzzles lined up like that! And it's even more perfect being on your desk :) Keep being you, Karen! The criticisms may be valid but it sets you apart from the rest and I eat it up every time.
I think my favorite of the four is the 60's puzzle if only for the colors, while the 2000's version would be my favorite as a puzzle in it's entirety. Also the mailing card ad that came in the box was too nostalgic 😂
I love puzzles so that means I love your channel.. keep up the great work. Your laugh is also very special.. very... special.
Thank you for making these videos.
I don't know that I'd even do the 60th one! But I do enjoy Springbok's puzzles. I've done two now and liked them both. Love the piece shapes and how satisfying it is to put one into place. I'd definitely pick up another puzzle by them.
Thanks for the blooper at the end.
The finish for the 60 puzzle was amazing. Love the colors of the 2000's puzzle, so fun and happy. I'd like an original but not sure I could do it lol!
My work has been putting puzzles out in the break room for people to work on (I’m the only one that does, and I’m still doing them fast enough that they can’t keep up, so I’m getting repeats), and right now it’s the Bboldin Mosaic puzzle (look it up if you want to see how hard it is [very]). With these kinds of puzzles, I fully agree that staying organized is the most important thing
I definitely like the colours of the 2000s Puzzler puzzle better
I love that the 60 puzzle makes it a bit more accessible but still a challenge. It's something I'd consider attempting whereas I wouldn't with the harder ones
Those ring-by-ring solves were such a flex 🤩Now to top that, I'd love to see you start from a single corner of a rectangular puzzle and fill in one diagonal at a time -- just like the machine that Mark Rober built 😆
2:08 Yeah, actually. I only know of springbok through your videos, was surprised to see them with modern design. I mean, cool, congrats to getting them to sponsor the video 😎
That puzzle ring at 26:26 would make a lovely festive wreath for Puzzlemas! (Which is not an official holiday yet, but it totally should be.)
This is awesome! I like the colors on the original the best.
I don't know how people don't know that Springbok is still in business. I see their puzzles in stores often...and I'm in Canada! I am in a couple puzzle groups on Facebook and there seems to be a consensus among members that current Springbok pieces are not as high quality and don't hold together as firmly as onesfrom the first 40 years or so. I have a couple more modern ones that I haven't got to yet so I"ll have wait and see for myself. I still enjoy them either way. Here's hoping they make it to another 60 years!
Not gonna lie, I've seen so many videos of yours with vintage springbok puzzles that I thought the company didn't exist anymore. Good to see they are still going strong.
Even though the 60th anniversary has more colors, at least on video, it looks very close in color to the original one, but the colors from the 2000's are like a breath of fresh air, it looks amazing.
