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
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 !
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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 ?

Springbok as your sponsor? That's just a perfect match. Congratulations!
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
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.
i sincerely love the fact that very real BIG puzzle brands sponsoring you and your work, it’s so cute 😭💕
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!
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 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
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 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.
The editing of this video looks like it took as long as the puzzle itself. WOW.
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!
I SOOOOO appreciate your editing efforts, watching this was fun
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.
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.
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 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!😊
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 ❤
I grew up doing vintage Springbok puzzles. I'm happy that they're still going strong. Happy puzzling!
Another super satisfying thing with this video is when you put the pieces right in time with the music! Love the editing!
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 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.
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!
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!!
14:44 IT Crowd reference! ❤ Karen has referenced so many of my favorite things, vintage puzzles, RPDR, and now niche British tv :)
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
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".
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. 😂
I love it when you make challenges for yourself. The edge on the "60"th Anniversary puzzle was so fun!
26:43 the puzzle at this stage would make a really cute mirror lol
Or a picture frame!
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.
31:30 MAD Karen assembles 2 half done puzzler puzzles with two OTHER puzzler Puzzles underneath as background 😆
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
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!
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.
Your face at the end when you attempt the flip was so funny! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the video!
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!!!!
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.
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! 😅
This was one of the puzzles we got my grandmother for a Christmas in the late 70’s or early 80’s 😂😂😂😂
Watching the last negative space being filled in is like cloud watching. Hey it kinda looks like a heart… like Micky Mouse… like an elephant.
While I’m filming I’m always keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t turn into anything dirty or offensive 👀
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 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!
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
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.
Four puzzles next to each other in the end made me so hungry 😅it looked like four generously topped big pizzas😂
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.
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!
I absolutely love the Postage stamp and Life Savers vintage puzzles from Springbok - so much!
Very nice Karen, well done. You got me to the world of puzzels with your channel a year ago, love you From Holland.
Ohhh, it's the 2000 version I didn't know about. Kudos to you, Karen! The fact you only took 9 hours to do the Puzzler II. If you 100x that, I think that's how long it took me. These puzzles are so hard. TBH, it took me at least half the puzzle to wrap my brain around your Puzzles on Puzzles puzzle.
3:46 I can imagine this smell and I haven't smelled fresh puzzle pieces in maybe literal decades. Also my "most difficult" and favorite jigsaw puzzle is an image of tons of dice
I did the 1975 octagon version when I was 12. I still have it, but over the years of moving, pieces went missing. I glued it but it didn’t hold up. I kept it because it was my favorite puzzle ever. Yes the colors are drab now, but not at the time. It’s still my favorite to this day.
It’s kinda cool that it took you almost exactly 60 minutes to make the 60 outline.
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!
Well, it doesn't get any better than that time-lapse of the 60 being built up from the center as a celebration of Springbok's 60 years lol
Cool video as always!
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!
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.
It was funny when your mic foam dropped @19:24
It was driving me crazy while editing 😂
@@KarenPuzzles I think it would have been fun to circle it (or zoom in to it) and flash on the screen that the mic foam impressively landed upright! 😁
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.
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!
The colors on the one from the 2000s are so pretty. Definitely the best looking one of the 4.
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.)
Karen: "This will be the last time I solve 'The Puzzler'." Springbok: "Hey, Karen! We have a new version to celebrate the 60th year and we'd like you to solve it on your channel." 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 honestly thought Springbok was out of business because I only ever see it in the context of vintage puzzles from your videos.
I also love (vintage) Springbok puzzles. But I don't sort them to that degree 😅 It's always like "is this a squiggle or a squaggle? Is that a bump or a boomp? Are these edges or FALSE EDGES?!"
I did a lot of Milton Bradley puzzles when I was a kid in the 60's. They were typically scenery puzzles and much drabber colors. I subsequently lost interest in jigsaws due to the boring scenes and drab colors. Then in the 80's I discovered Springbok and renewed my love of jigsaws. I like the random cut and prefer then over standard cuts however, I do not like round puzzles, so I veer away from those. I only do then if I like the subject matter. I have many of the puzzle's made by Hallmark when they had the license but did not live in Kansas City at the time. Now I live in KC, and Allied Manufacturing has the Springbok license who is also in KC. However, after contacting them about a tour, they will not allow a tour of the factory stating they make many other products, and the factory is too noisy and not set up to have non personnel in the way of the workers. So still on my bucket list to actually see a jigsaw being made. PS no I would not do any of these puzzles. My favorite Springboks are collages of like things, such as animals, especially cats, vintage toys, flowers, sets of things like teacups, etc. and they have to be bright colors.
I didn't know Springbok was still around, I'll buy one of their puzzles ASAP
I usually see them at hallmark stores :)
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 😂
So here is what I have noticed. I found the Prismagic puzzle (after a puzzle friend found it AND the puzzler II a few weeks prior also) thrifting and looked up your video in hopes I could screenshot a finish of it to help me check if all of the pieces were there. Your video didn't help (reddit did, though) but you stated the price point of that puzzle was about $50. The price point of that puzzle depending on condition is now about double that. I wonder how much influence your videos on vintage puzzles have on the resale market of collectible puzzles...because I think it has got to be significant. Now, if you're already in possession of a bunch of the popular vintage puzzles, then that's great for you...but for those who only heard of them from your videos, well, they may not be so keen on that fact.
I think it's very interesting to learn the history of an industry and I love the information that you provide. I am personally not a huge fan of vintage puzzles (mostly because I am particularly bothered by bad smells and a lot of older items that have sat for years and years are going to smell 'old'...that being said, the prismagic one I found thrifting...for 79 cents!...actually smelled like a sweet laundry detergent or something, almost like they kept it near an area where they fragranced their home or like they put a dryer sheet in the box at some point) but I still find the information fascinating.
While I do understand that there are complaints about accessibility, there is really only so much content to be made about things that are mass produced and readily available today. The historical information that hasn't really been corralled into an easy to access place makes the content on vintage puzzles a lot more interesting.
That being said, if you want to appease some of those naysayers, perhaps you can do videos that I look for but rarely seem to find (at least in the quality that I'd prefer to experience): thrifted puzzles. I know you are provided a significant amount of puzzles from companies and mostly buy vintage, but I love watching thrift hunts and hauls to see what other parts of the country/world and while puzzle thrifting seems to be a popular thing, it doesn't seem to garner a significant amount of content here on youtube. It could make for a nice fluff video (you know, something that doesn't require the huge time investment into research that some of your vintage puzzle videos do) that you piece together when you're near a thrift store in your day to day life and stitch it together eventually, kind of like you do with your haul videos/puzzle mail now. I personally obtain over 90% of my puzzles secondhand through marketplace and thrifting with a mix of new (but usually on sale) and pricier used (ebay, mercari, etc) and as my 79 cent Prismagic (that was complete, by the way) puzzle can attest, vintage puzzles are out there. In fact, I left behind about a dozen full size and mini vintage Springbok puzzles that ALL featured cats or dogs at a thrift store just last week. One caveat, though, is that when I was in Anaheim last month there was almost nothing to be found in the thrift stores...the few puzzles that I did like were ones I had already thrifted. Being that the hub of the speed puzzling world seems to be in and around SoCal, it could be that your thrifting options aren't as great as where I live, but we didn't make it up to Los Angeles (where my husband is from and where his family still lives) on this relatively short visit.
ETA: I also wonder how much your vintage puzzle videos inspired Springbok to create the 60th anniversary edition. My guess is that there was some degree of influence, particularly if they're sponsoring you to feature it!
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.
You're a true source of inspiration for me. Thank you. You have such a good energy and a good spirit.
This is going on my list of prank puzzles to gift my parents someday.
Hi Karen, I think I'll pick up the 60 Anniversary puzzle and enjoy looking at the box for 4+ years. Then on my 60th birthday, I'll crack it open and give it a go! Thanks for sharing another great video!
Happy almost birthday!
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!
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.
Thanks for the blooper at the end.
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!)
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 🎉😊
My dad, brother and I would spend hours putting puzzles together when I was growing up. My mom would walk by every once in a while look for a few minutes pick up 2-4 pieces and put them in the puzzle and walk away then do it all over again a few hours later.
I honestly might go pick up the 60th anniversary one. It gives homage to the original without being too difficult.
Happy 60th, Springbok! I enjoy Springbok puzzles with their shapes, but sometimes don't like the images as much on their new puzzles, unfortunately. I do have a vintage one with a bunch of teddy bears that was not quite as awful to put together as I anticipated it being. 😆
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 😁
I LOVE Springbok, random cut makes my day!! I do prefer a the reg art work though ha! I'll leave solid color and the like for you!
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 😆
Springbok are my favorite puzzles! Glad to see you working with them.
"after watching a video on our puzzler series, we have decided to make a new and harder version!" - Springbok
hahaha
Luckily it turned out to be easier!
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.
This was a really fun video to watch. Accessible puzzles and rare puzzles are both entertaining to watch.
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 !
I walked casually into a game store in a mall and I was like "huh, Springbok"
