I did the Ravensburger Krypt puzzle so you don't have to 😂 Unless it's your favorite type of puzzle - then click the links in the description to get one for yourself!
Have you ever done this puzzle or a similar one?
What was the other video of yours, that you were referring to @ 6:17? Btw-- I ❤ you & your channel! 🙂✌✌🙂
@@cassie1076 I believe it is the puzzle she put together using her feet - ruclips.net/video/qpbS8u9Eelk/видео.html
@@cassie1076 No it wasn't the one using her feet! It was the Areaware Blue/Pink Gradient Puzzle! She says she could not complete it! Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/BndaC8gB6eU/видео.html
Andrew Brown, no, she was talking about the feet video
I had never done a normal jigsaw puzzle until i saw this video. Only level 9 or 10 solving puzzles. U made me go buy a ravensburger black crypt. Was a great time solving it :) tnx for a nice video.
I challenge you to take on a Yuu Asaka pussle ;) if this gives you a headache, an Asaka puzzle will make your head explode. They are so cool. And you would be a cool solver i think.
Happy puzzeling
This is the best Karen i’ve met ever in my whole entire existence
Lmao ikr
😂
That was a over complicated way of saying life.
U know karen from the Joog squad
Ik xD
I need Karen to revisit this now that she has done so many solid color puzzles (and she has the other Krypt puzzles too besides the silver one now LOL) she was so frustrated here but she’s gotten stronger so now we have to get a redo!! Unlikely since her queue is full rn and she’s doing huge puzzles but hopefully in three years maybe 😂!!
You have inspired me to buy and complete my first ever "real" puzzle, which was the silver Krypt. It took about 25 hours over 5 days but it was an incredible experience!
So incredible that I ordered the black one too and am currently awaiting delivery. Let's see how long my sanity will hold together.
You are amazingly inspirational when it comes to puzzles and your videos are very entertaining! Thank you!
Update: The black one is done! It took half as long and I ordered another silver and the gold version. They are going to look beautiful on the wall over the couch!
Thanks for letting me know how long it took you to do the puzzle!!! I really appreciate it as I have a few projects that I need to work on. I'll try this one ( got the gold) after December:)
Which one do you think is the most difficult/entertaining?
The most difficult Krypt will most likely be the first one you do, regardless of color since you have to establish your own system of sorting and learn to look at the shapes of the pieces as a beginner of sorts. The most fun or entertaining for me is the Silver one, which I also think is the hardest one after establishing such system since many of the spiral pieces are shaped just like regular ones so they are often lost in the "wrong" pile during sorting. The silver one has such unique and interesting pieces, I just love it!
Now, I can't speak for everyone about which is best or most fun so you'll just have to find out for yourself which is best for you. With that, I wish you luck!
@@smurfjimpan thanks!!
@smurfjimpan there’s the pink krypt now as well!!
I would love to do the puzzle first and then draw my own illustration on it with Posca pens. Then the second time would be a whole different experience.
I would love to see your illustration on it!
You just gave me the PERFECT anniversary present idea THANK YOU
I have completed all 3.
The first in 64 hours (gold), the second in 109 hours (black)
and the third in 52 hours (silver).
The stopwatch started the moment I purchased it, as soon as I got home I took it out of the box and started.
Terrible and fascinating experience. But I'm the only one in Switzerland to finish all three of them in a week. :)
Kuddos for finishing them all, the black one was my first puzzle since i had stopped doing some when i was a child ! Although there are only 168 hours in a week so unless you made a typo somewhere (or never stopped the watch even for rating, sleeping or other breaks) i don't think you finished them all within a week (your Time is still impressive though!) ^^
This silver puzzle does not look like fun. This looks like me throwing it out the window and crying.
thisisroxaroo lol😂
Well said! Made me lol 😂
It really is not that difficult due to the shapes and the picture of the finished puzzle.
@@tiff2106 the golden is the hardest!
My wife and I just finished this while we were doing the whole quarantine thing. Pretty good puzzle, first time I've done one in probably 15 years, maybe we'll even get the silver and black for the next apocalypse. My mom got this puzzle for me probably 20 years ago though, and ours didn't come with an answer key.
I took the same approach you did separating the pieces by types of "nodes," whether they were part of the spiral or squares, and finally by the direction of the cross hatching texture on the pieces.
You should do disneys "worlds most difficult puzzle" same picture on both sides but the back is roted 90 degrees and it's honestly insane!!
Alissa Garcia I did the Dalmatians World’s Most Difficult puzzle. I can say that it was not at all fun and I will never do another one. I glued it so I could show it off but that was the most hateful puzzle I have ever done.
@@gareauk Thanks for your honesty! I've thought about purchasing one but realized it would drive me crazy and be very frustrating, therefore I've never tried it. Your review makes me feel better about my decision,. Thanks!
I had one of those 2-sided puzzle that the image was a 5 by 5 grid of a leprechaun solving a puzzle. Each spot of the lineless grid, the leprechaun placed one piece and his expression got slightly more happy.
I have one with soccer balls.
I just started this "silver" puzzle. My brother gave it to me about a year ago and I'm just getting around to working on it. Even using the guide, it took me about 5 hours just to do the outer edge. It's hard. It's painful, but I'm determined to finish it.
You can do it!
Damn lol, did you end up finishing it???
You had me fooled in the first two seconds, not gonnna lie - I didn't immediately realize it was a reverse video XD
I did the gold krypt and when I saw the envelope with "puzzle guide" on it I was like:"I'm going to open this when I finished the puzzle"
I don't know if it's the gubernatorial stay-at-home order or just who I am as a person but getting this puzzle and putting it together seems like the best idea in the world right now. I just discovered your channel and I love the content I've seen! Every time you say something like, 'for those insane people who like tedious puzzles with no color clues' I'm here jumping up and down with my hand raised ✋
haha, let me know how it goes for you!
Karen takes another one for team! We thank you 🤗
I'm currently working on this puzzle myself and must say that i like the challenge of this! But i already love to do my puzzles blindly - without looking at the box - so that's nothing new for me anyway :D
For this one especially: When you go easy on it and take breaks, just letting it sit for some days and getting back whenever you feel like it, that makes it for me! And i guess the fact that it's not just the same old rectangular shape for every piece.
Thanks for your videos, Karen. I quite enjoy them!
I ordered this puzzle from Amazon a few weeks ago. I have to be in a very clear frame of mind to even open this challenge. Great video.
I have this puzzle in gold. Started it a couple of months ago but put it away as I was going out of town for a while. You've inspired me to bring it out again for my winter project. Love the idea of having a foam board to put it on. That has saved me so much time and trouble. Thanks for showing us the way.
I'm pretty sure I won't do this puzzle but it was interesting to see you do it. I'm not sure maybe. I name my pieces 1 leg, 2 legs, 3 legs, 4 legs and no legs. You're amazing Karen! Happy puzzling!
I got this as a gift a while ago. It took me a few hours but I did it! I felt awesome after I completed it! I really enjoyed doing the center.
I finished it just earlier today and what really helped me was to sort the pieces by size, not by shape, because of how the pieces become bigger the closer they are to the spiral's edge. Then for the outer part there weren't as many pieces left and it went quite smoothly. Overall I found this puzzle to be very fun, I'll definitely get the other colors ^^
These are by far my favorite. Started with silver, just finished the gold, can't wait to start on the black.
Thank you for the review. I absolutely love the silver Krypt from the first moment I saw it, but I am probably never able to do this high difficult puzzles myself.
Rewatching this as I'm struggling with my own Krypt puzzle.... Nice to remember how difficult even you found solic colors puzzles to begin with.
Hi Karen, I was very pleased to see your video in which you finish Krypt. In one week I did the gold one in 54 hours (54 hours since I bought it, at the beginning of last week) and yesterday at 3:33 I finished the black one. Now I still have the silver one you made, a very nice job, really compliments :)
How is it that you convinced me that I need to get puzzles to keep my sanity during quarantine...this is my new favorite channel LITERALLY OBSESSED 🥴
I couldn't wait to get home to see this. Your silver pain is our gain as you made a very entertaining video out of it.
I just found out this puzzle comes in pink and not just 'silver' (and black, white, etc). It might be worth it in pink. Also I love the idea of using this one to paint.
You deserve a Silver medal for puzzle completion. I'd never do that type of puzzle. I like putting together pictures on puzzles. Thanks for sharing!
Why not a gold medal? xD😂
You are a brave soul! Thanks for taking it for the team :) I struggle in doing 1000 piece picture puzzles. I don't think I'll ever do this silver or other color kyript puzzle
We (my 8 year old and I) have just started this puzzle today :) I'm very excited by the challenge since I haven't done any puzzles this summer
You taking it apart at the end was so satisfying to watch!
Ravensburger upped their game, Karen. It's available in pink! Also, yes, podcasts are definitely a good idea while doing this. Pink doesn't make things harder or easier than the ~silver~ puzzle, though. It's just very pink.
I literally did this puzzle before school ended cause of quarantine. This took so long. Same silver color too!
I did this puzzle early in the beginning of the lockdown. I absolutely loved it. I also took many photos. Then gave the puzzle away. I like the idea of passing it on instead of sitting in a box stuck on a shelf and forgotten. I believe the biggest part of what makes this Ravensburger puzzle so different is it is an emotional journey that's unexpected.
I truly enjoyed putting this puzzle together, this Ravensburger Krypt puzzle was given to me by my son, and I gave it to him after I completed it.....when I put my puzzles together I glue them on brown paper and store them away for any one that would like them....I just enjoy putting puzzles together and looking at the finished produce/picture.
I have never made this one. but I did make one, years ago, with cookies on - all the same cookies - and no defined edges. I LOVED it
I have a terrible attention span so puzzling is very hard but somehow I found your channel and CANNOT STOP watching 😆😆 you make such captivating videos!
"silver" - Oooof, I sure enjoyed watching you put this one together, but not sure I could do it! I also like to listen to podcasts while I'm puzzling.
I only recently discovered your channel and am loving it! Thank you for showcasing this silver puzzle and showing that I don't want to do it :)
Ich hab noch nie darüber nachgedacht, wie man "Ravensburger" auf Englisch ausspricht... aber durch das Video muss ich jetzt immer an Burger denken, wenn ich's sehe 😂🤔
Ich hab tatsächlich angefangen ravensburger englisch auszusprechen, da ich es echt selten sage, aber schon mehrere videos gesehen hab in denen sie es so ausspricht. 😂😂😂😂
naja, es liegt ja im Schwäbischen, daher sollte es eher Raawaeschbuhrg'r sein XD
Mmmm Rabenburger, lecker!
Ich mag ihre Videos echt gern, aber die Art wie sie das ausspricht macht mich aggressiv 😂
Ich finds generell lustig wie Amis deutsche Namen aussprechen
Sooo excited to have discovered your channel !!! , thought was the only one trying to do them
I'm working on this now in self-quarantine. It is both an obsession and a torture for me. I admit I've been coloring in the answer key and looking for each individual piece one by one...it is a painstaking labor of love. I plan on framing this when I'm done.
NYC MAMAOFONE I Did it over quarantine and framed it too!!!
@@teddybentsen4667 How did you frame it? It's been sitting on the floor because I have no clue how to do that. Wondering how best to "glue" it.
NYC MAMAOFONE First off you buy puzzle glue which isn’t that hard to find and it’s usually like $4 then you just spread it across the puzzle with some sort of disposable plastic card and let it dry, then you buy a frame from Walmart for it for cheap but you have to make sure it’s at least 2 inches wider on both sides bc if not it’ll be too small and the puzzle won’t fit and then once you have the frame and the puzzle is done drying you glue it to the cardboard that came with the frame and then just frame it👍🏻
@@teddybentsen4667 Thanks! So helpful!
Oh my gosh no way in heck could I EVER. You are a saint for doing this puzzle.
Thanks so much for reviewing this one!! I love puzzles and am so happy I stumbled upon your channel :)
I finished my 3rd Krypt puzzle (each took me about a week, I did them during virtual meetings and on the weekends, and without looking at the box of the key) and I think the silver is my favorite. The black was kind of fun but challenging and the gold was miserable. Do not recommend the gold if you’re trying to get it done quickly, it’s a pain in the butt and I didn’t get the outside fully together until almost the end (inside is definitely easier)! Satisfying at the end but exhausting.
I did this puzzle I have it hanging on my wall now in a frame.. I loved it
After seeing the first minute of this video I decided to buy one. It arrives tomorrow and am so excited to get started on it
oh I got the black one! Each color has a unique design as well. I think the black design is the coolest.
Bought this after I watched your review. It’s awesome! Definitely worth it
This does look a lot of fun, super intrigued now. Might have to invest in one and see for myself!
That silver puzzle is awesome. Looking forward to buying the krypt puzzle soon
I've done the silver Krypt once before, but this video made me want to do it again if you can believe it 😁 Took me two weeks the first time. Let's see how long it takes this time
I have this puzzle and finished it multiple times. I really like it and bought it in a second colour as well when I finished the SILVER one.
I find it kind of meditating to search for the right pieces just by shape and sometimes try them one by one.
Hi Karen, I did this puzzle and loved it so much that I hung it in my bedroom!! The SILVER one is the most beautiful of the 3 Krypt puzzles!! Kisses from Argentina!!!
I absolutely loved this puzzle. I finished mine a few years ago. However I had mine in an art bag with every puzzle I have ever done and the entire bag and all the puzzles were destroyed due to a leak in the storage unit. I did today find this one on Amazon back in stock and purchased it again. Can't even wait get it.
Hi Karen. Love the looks of this silver puzzle. I would try it. I don’t like puzzles that the pieces fit in different places. But this looked very interesting. Nancy
We (My Mum, my sister and I) got this Puzzle from a coworker of my Mum.
We just started it like two days ago, totally it took us around 4 to 5 hours.
I actually loved it.
I did most of it myself since I just fell in love with it.
I used the guide but that was actually one of the reasons why I loved it. Since just the fact of sorting out the pieces and then try all the pieces that could fit.
I‘m actually thinking about getting the Black one.
Ordered a bunch of puzzles to do while in quarantine including two Ravensburgers, solid gold and black. My first mistake was trying to do the gold Rbugergers. After getting the small middle circle done I was done. Told myself I needed more experience before I tackled a solid color no piece the same puzzle. I'm not ashamed of myself and quite happy with the decision to come back to it later.
Good for all of you who have completed yours. Well done. Me, I wait. Lol.
Completed the black Krypt puzzle earlier this week! Tried to do it without the answer sheet or box...managed the edges and most of the centre circle but then got stuck and opened the envelope! Took 6 days overall, mainly in evenings though. You definitely reach a point where it feels never ending!
i'm from ravensburg and my brother works at the place where they make these puzzles and games and I just wanna say thanls for making this 😁
It has been a while, about 17 years ago, and I loved it. I did not use the guide, but I did not set me a time limit.
And actually, a few days ago I bought the new pink one.
I got he gradient one, really lovely design and fun to do!
I ordered this puzzle (the SILVER one) off of Amazon and started it today! I saw this video on your channel snd thought it would be a fun challenge. Pretty intense so far, and using the cheat sheet! We'll see what happens.
My word i love audiobooks never even crossed my mind to listen to one while doing a puzzle 😖
I love solid colour puzzles as long as there are unique pieces. I would do this one completely blind. It’s a very nice thing to hyper focus on on stressful days.
Silver! I’m tempted to try this puzzle. Thanks for the great video.
I came across this puzzle brand new still in cling wrap while I was thrifting for puzzles so of course I brought it home with me. It was so hard!! There was also some quality issues with ends lifting up on a couple pieces and so many times where pieces looked like they fit but only when you took them out and held them up to the light could you tell. Even then it was sometimes still a maybe. I think overall it was a sometimes fun sometimes exasperating puzzle
Your editing skills are impressive!
Silver
I did the silver and the golden one a couple of years ago and I really liked them. Normally I feel like you about jigsaw puzzles with big areas of all the same colour. I hate them and normally try to avoid this kind of puzzle. But the Crypt ones I actually liked very much. I can‘t even tell exactly why, but I had a lot of fun putting them together.
By the way, the two Crypt puzzles are some of the few jigsaw puzzles, that I ever put in a picture frame and hung them up to my wall. And they‘re still there in their frames. At the moment I think about getting the black one, so I could have the collection complete.
Nice Karen, this is my first puzzle sinds i was a kid and i already did 2,5 hours of sorting out the pieces (Did it wrong i fpound out later amuway). Im also noticing my look aat the puzzle changes by the hour. But now i have mixed all the pieces together again so its a real learning proces and i didn't expect i would like it so much, eases my mind (also breaking it :P). I definitly gonna try puzzles like this again. Also i really like the spiral kind of puzzle look so definitly gonna decorate my wall with it. Thanks for the video.
Nooooooooo thanks! Neither the SILVER one nor any of the other colors! I did get the one with all the colorful birds. I did it in 2 days and LOVED it! It was like doing 18 individual puzzles. I am a beginner puzzler and found this one SO satisfying. Thank you for all your videos!
🤯Karen, I name my piece shapes. The last kind you put in I call Tigger pieces because they look like Tigger bouncing on his tail. There are X pieces, people pieces, plus + pieces, 🤩
i call the one with 1 bump 3 notches i call mimi human cause put the notch faceing up it looks like a human
@@thewhovianwithasmallcollec7319 Yeah, I do the same here in Brazil. I call it "homenzinho", meaning "little man"!!
@@ADE1000SON cool at least im not the only one who sees it
I name mine, too. The X pieces = "pinwheels", the ones with one male knob at the top and two female knobs on the sides = "ladies", one female knob at the top and two male knobs on the sides = "Fionas", the reverse of those = "Shreks," the long pieces = "tall mans", the really wide pieces = "fat boys". There's also the ones that look like a H = "dumbbells" and the anything with a fat knob on them = "running mans".
The people ones I call skinny neck, fat neck, shrugged shoulders, pointy feet etc.
I loved listening to your oppinion on this. I own and have made all three krypt puzzles. They have different designs and require different ways of looking at the pieces. I get where you were coming from with the "doing it for fun would have been better" comment, and I would agree. I would also say that the silver one is the hardest one to do, the paterns of the gold and black one are in my oppinion easier to work with.
I was saving this "Silver" for a special treat. I feel like I read the ending of a book! (I'll still so the puzzle.)
Just bought and started on this puzzle... Perfect for when you are sick and can't go out of the house for a week :')
I personally tend to do landscape puzzles. But I'm always willing to try new and difficult ones. Can I also say that I thought your video where you completed the puzzle with your feet was impressive. I personally would've given up so kudos to you. Have a wonderful day. Silver.
I started mine today which was sitting in my cupboard along with a gradient puzzle for a few years as I got them as gifts but they looked tough
Ow I love this puzzle. Have the same one, and now I want to get it out of the box and see in what time I can make it. I am not so much of a sorter, but I will give that a try. I have never noticed that there is an answer key inside the box of this Silver delight.
I’ve done this one in the gold! It was the greatest puzzle I’ve ever done!
@Karen Puzzles i have the black one. honestly if this is your worst puzzle then don't start on the black krypt. still got some tips of your video, so thanks
Hi Karen, I LOVE doing puzzles but I have never seen a one solid color one before. Very interesting. It would be a real challenge though.
I still love your video. Thank you so much to inspire me to do puzzles. :)
Hats off to you Karen. I’m having enough trouble with Matisse “Purple Robe and Anemone”
Lol I won’t be doing krypt soon. Silver
Yeah, that puzzle would have took me weeks to finish. I just completed a regular 1000 piece puzzle and it took me three days at about 5-6 hours per day. Great job on your end!
The more you do, the faster you get!
I’m in the middle of doing the gold one, and it’s taken me about 12 hours so far, and I don’t even think I’m half way! I am filming it too and that’s going to be an interesting edit. Funnily enough, I realised that I could have filmed this ‘upside down’ because there is no image on it... 🙄🤦🏼♀️ I am having mixed emotions about it. I love it for so many reasons but it makes me feel really tired really quickly.
I am really glad I came and watched your video, it made me feel better that you used the puzzle guide. I have tried not to use it but have sneaked the odd peek on the back of the box. But it’s also taken me 12 hours to do less than half, so maybe I should use the guide more lol 😁
Think I’ll try it in silver next...
I already feel better thanks to this video!
Wow cool, I saw this one at my game store and it looked really challenging. I might try it sometime :)
How did it happen? I don't even like puzzles but yet I'm here watching all of your videos. Great content!
Literally same😂 this video is like a year old and I just came across her channel lol
Definitely on my puzzle bucket list to accomplish. I’ve never done a solid color puzzle.
Silver 🤟🧩
Watching this almost 4 years later, I'm amused because now you have a solid color puzzle collection and love them! Single color puzzles are NOT my thing. The silver was nice, though.
I did this puzzle It was so much fun!!! It took me with a little help from my family (Very Little- ugh!) about a week to do on and off ;) I recently finished the Disney Pixar double sided UP puzzle of Carl and Ellie in about 3 days. I have a star trek one that is 5000 pieces I need to get started too
I've never done an all one color puzzle before but I'd like to give this a try
I've never done that silver puzzle nor any other solid color puzzle, nor do I want to. Thanks for doing it so I don't have to!! (It was better to watch than the feet video at least!)
The funniest thing is the way you say Ravensburger.
As a german, I don't even think about it - it's Ravensburger from the city of Ravensburg.
But you saying Raven's Burger really made me laugh.
hi Karen I have just had this puzzle for Christmas from my daughter as a challenge it took me 9.40 with some peaks at the key
I got this exact puzzle for Christmas and I did it in 2 days working for like 4 or 5 hours both days. Also when I did it, I didn't open the envelope and just used the back of the box
I just got that one out of the basement from my mother's, who never finished it. The box I have looks so different, I'm prett sure that's the first itteration of this puzzle there was. Gonna attempt that one now.
This video was amazing to watch. I own the black Krypt myself and have done it once, together with my dad and the strategy you describe - doing a little bit every now and then over the course of two weeks, and coloring in the solved pieces. It was satisfying to finish it, but the perfectionist in me REALLY wants to complete it by myself, without the answer key. I love challenges like this
Your video gave me the initial kick to finally start and I just spread out the pieces. Let's see how many weeks it takes!
I do think however that the black one is quite a bit more difficult than the other ones. If you look at it more closely, it doesn't have that spiral pattern (it's circles), and the pattern gets "interrupted" by the straight pattern quite early. In the other places, the circular pattern extends to the puzzle's edge, making it more difficult to distinguish pieces between it and the straight pattern.
Alright, now I will go and descend into madness. See you all on the other side :P
I did the gold one and asked for the black one for Xmas!!! :-) :-) :-) I guess doing it without time pressure and getting really into the world of shapes is helping. I loved it, but sure we all have different preferences.
The Lone Ranger when he sees this puzzle: Whoa Silver!
I used an answer key from a puzzle from ingooood (Rainy Day Walk) and was glad I did. If I every come across "the Krypt", I'll likely use the key as well just to cut down the amount of time it takes to do a puzzle like that. Well done.
My favorite puzzle! I t took me 5 days to put this one together. I felt like a puzzle master😄
Great job!
