I'm finally getting started on the 9000 piece Minions puzzle! Let me know if there's anything specific you want to see me talk about in the next video in this series 💛 Make sure to head over to Patreon to see a bonus video about this puzzle too!
I would love to see the giant Keith Haring jigsaw. Actually, I'd like it myself, but I would also need a Patreon to cover the cost. The biggest puzzles I've done have been 2,000 pieces, but I don't think I'd tackle one that is so similar overall as the 💛Minion💙 one.
Love these huge puzzles - you're amazing. Have you ever tried computer jigsaw puzzles or is the joy in the feel and the smell and the realness, like books v ereaders?
Sometimes when I puzzle or play a repetitive type puzzle of videogame, like a tetras type game, etc., I later see the pieces in my dreams, sometimes nearly all night. Karen, I'm wondering, does this ever happen to you?
The fact that you've never seen a "minion" movie but still have that much enthusiasm for this puzzle is pretty funny to me. i actually *just* got into puzzling mostly thanks to this channel, so the largest puzzle I've done is 500 pieces. I've done two this year so far and I'm working on my first 1000 piece now! it's tricky!
The biggest puzzle I ever finished was one of the 9000 pieces Ravensburger puzzles (the world map one). Since I'm not as efficient as Karen at puzzling it took me over 200 hours over 14 months but I'm so proud that I finally finished it! I'm really curious to see how long it'll take her to finish hers, the stats at the end are always so fun :D
I really appreciate that you don't deny viewers the satisfaction of pointing out an elusive piece, then finding and placing that piece. It's so satisfying. Minions.

The biggest puzzle I’ve completed was a 6000pc Bits & Pieces one called “Window Wonderland” by Lewis Johnson. It was difficult mostly because it was a stained glass type image and a majority of the pieces were just a flat color that looked as though they could go anywhere on the puzzle! And having only standard piece shapes certainly did not help either! It had a missing piece which was really disappointing... UNTIL... I found the missing piece a YEAR later this past January in another room underneath our old vacuum: undamaged! I thankfully still had the puzzle together in sections so I was able to put the piece in right away. Now the puzzle is complete and I can sleep well at night😂 Anyways, great progress on the ‘Minion’ puzzle, I can’t wait to see it finished!
I never was or I guess got the opportunity to have puzzles growing up, but I recently bought a few Ravensburger puzzles because I've been watching you for a few months and the joy you give off and just how fun they look inspired me, can't wait to get started on them. Thank you for brightening our days Karen and being a rare gem on RUclips 😊❤ Can't wait for this series, loved the last one.
What I found most helpful is how you did the sorting. I go by color as well but it seemed somewhat tedious to do that and then sort again to break down shades of one color. Great job!
My daughter just finished doing her first giant puzzle of 3000 pieces. It's from Trefl and is called "Sunset by the rocky coast". It took her around 4 weeks which sounds like a lot of time but it really isn't considering she is just seven and has a bit of lower attention span than us adults. But we are so proud of her achievement..... we ended up buying a 4000 piece one for her called "Arctic Harmony". Will let you know how she went with that once she starts working on it. Right now she is doing a bit smaller ones as her school has started and we are getting her ready for an oncoming jigsaw competition in our city. Wish her luck and will let you know in April how it went as well. Thanks Karen for being such a big motivation for her and she was super excited last time to hear back from you. Best of luck. We love you.
That's not a long time at all! Excellent job to your daughter! Very impressive of her! I also did Arctic Harmony. AH is a beautiful puzzle, but it's cheaply made with mostly dark blue pieces and it took me a while to get it done!
YOUR TIMING IS GREAT, I just sat down with dinner like 2 seconds ago and then was like "perfect Karen will post soon" anf then I got the notification 💜
You haven't seen the movies!!! Put them on in the background!! Also this is giving me flashbacks to when I did the impossuble minion (clementoni) puzzle and its not good flashbacks 🤣 it was horrible!!!!!!! But this puzzle is so vibrant, I love it!! You're doing great Karen! 🥺
Love your content Karen! About 3 years ago I finished the 18,000 piece Ravensburger "At the Waterhole" puzzle. It was a beast! I had to start by building a table to have something large enough to build it on all at one time. And with one grey elephant taking up like a sixth of the puzzle, I almost didn't have the energy to finish it! But I did and now it is mounted on the wall - all 9' x 6' of it! (minions!)

You’re so funny and thorough! I guess that’s why I, a non-puzzler, keep on coming back.. you never fail to make me smile! ✨ The enthusiasm that you exude is contagious.
The biggest puzzle I’ve done is only 1000 . I like doing puzzles , but I’m not a whiz at them, so it takes me a long time to finish one even that big. I don’t think I’d have the patience to do one this huge. Good job on the “ Minions”. Entertaining as always.
Glad someone is warm!!! Chilling in -20°C weather right now!!! Yesterday it was 8°C!!! I was spring is coming. No!!! Dog sitting I thought it would be easy!!! You've never seen any of the movies??? There cute!!! I love the minions!!! Take care and have fun!!! 😷😎😷
Ms Karen….I just finished my third 500 piece puzzle….I think I’m going to continue to do puzzles…..I found it to be relaxing and very enjoyable…. Excellent video….your enthusiasm is infectious…looking forward to you next project as I set my goal at a puzzle with 1000 pieces
Karen, I’m watching this a few days late and with Ukraine and some things in my local Florida area, the world is such a scary place. So watching your video has calmed me and brought me joy. The thing that would make me hesitate to do the MINIONS or other giant puzzle is the sorting!!
I found this channel a few months ago and I am glad I did! :D But the largest puzzle I've ever done was a 3000 Ravensburger puzzle and it took me approximately 2 weeks, but I as gosh darn proud when I finished it.
Minion...My biggest puzzle I've done was 3000 by Ravenburger it was The Jungle one. I love watching you. Sometimes I work on my puzzle while watching you. I am so happy you are doing this regularly. Keep Puzzling and smiling!
This puzzle looks amazing! You’ve made great progress! I’m currently working on a 40,320 piece Disney through the years puzzle! I’m working on 3/10 of the sections! 🌺🌺
Ravensburger puzzles really are the best! I did one of their 2000 piece puzzles in 8 days over Christmas. It barely fit on my table, which I thought was huge. I can’t imagine doing their bigger ones. You should get the 40,000 piece puzzle. I’m jealous just watching you unbox!
Even with a tiny bit of help from Valentina (shall we call her your Sorting MINION?), this one looks like it'll be a hell of a ride. I hope you're enjoying solving the puzzle as much as I enjoyed watching the first part of your journey.
I'm so impressed with the time you're able to spend sorting. I'd love to do a bigger puzzle like that but I'd need a "minion" to help with the sorting. The biggest I've ever done was 1500 pieces, which seemed like just the right amount of challenge.
my dearest Karen, I am quite literally your biggest fan. I am a complete jigsaw puzzle addict as well. I was born pretty late in my mothers life. She had me when she was 45 years old. By the time I was 12 years old my mother had become quite ill and suffered of many different illnesses. At 12 I had started doing all the things that a mother normally does for her child. however I also was going to school full time and caring for a sick and ailing parent. I did everything from paying bills, grocery shopping, house cleaning, bathing my mother, dressing her, giving her all of her medications, helping her use the restroom etc.....I should also mention that my mother was in a wheel chair as well...... long story...umm short? lol... she asked me to quit school in grade 10 and care for her 24/7 as she was in fear of falling while I was at school... of course I did so and she and I would sit for hours and hours putting together jigsaw puzzles. My mother passed away when i was 25. Today I am still doing puzzles as often as i can however I am now 47 and disabled myself with very bad back issues from lifting my mother in and out of her chair and into bed etc. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. If given the chance I wouldn"t change a thing even though at 25 after my mother passed away I was left alone, uneducated and no work experience...My mother was and always while be my very best friend. 8 1/2 years ago she sent me my soulmate and my new best friend in way of my common law husband. What used to be my mothers and i past time is now something i share with my husband. Thank you so very much for allowing me to watch your videos and remember my mom and the special times that we shared. I am on a disability pension now so I cannot afford puzzles brands such as Springbok, Ravensburger, White Mountain etc. so i live vicariously through your videos lol....thank you for the memories......
I can't stand the fact that you've never saw a minions movie and then you got in so much trouble getting the puzzle arrived to you. It's just so funny to me, I love/hate that.
I love seeing you tackle big puzzles! I can't wait to see this one all together, it's going to look great! The biggest I've done is 2000, but I just bought some 3000 piece puzzles that I can't start until I get some foam board to make my work space a bit bigger. I'm trying to work my way up to eventually doing the 42,000 piece Educa Around the World puzzle (in 6000 piece sections, of course!)
I’m really addicted to your videos! Always looking forward to the next one. At the moment I’m doing the Ravensburgers „Magical Bookcase“ 18000 piece puzzle. I mixed all 18000 pc together. First I thought that I must be crazy…but now I think it‘s so much fun and really makeable😅
the biggest puzzle I have completed was a 3000 piece Ravensburger "zodiac". I do have a 6000 piece Clementoni "Downtown" and a 4000 piece Educa "Lighthouse at Rockbay" in my to do pile. I would love to get my hands on the 9000 piece minion puzzle. I think it is awesome that you love it so much without every seeing any of the movies. Can't wait until the next installment!
Love love love I'm a puzzle lover from new Zealand and your tape trick has worked a treat to keep all mine intact thank you I love all your 50s 60s puzzles too love lloydy
I'm STILL working on the 9000 piece puzzle I won from you 🤣🤣🤣 THEY'RE SO HARD! I have adopted 2 kittens since winning and had surgeries so I've had to stop and store it several times but IT WILL BE DONE one day 🤣🤣🤣
I just did a little vintage puzzle made in 1968, and filmed it for RUclips, and afterwards went searching for puzzle people, and found YOU! So people do this!!! I might be joining you!!! 🙂
I love how every sunday I watch half of a video before lunch and the other half after lunch. Today we have lasagna because my birthday was on the 15th and I chose that lol my grandmas came over and we're having a small cake without singing. When they go back home I'll do my new Ceaco puzzle with Thomas Kinkade's ilustrations 😍 first time doing this brand so I'm really excited!! I think my mom will join me because she's in love with the illustrations... Well, I am too 😅
you and your channel got me into puzzling last year (i always do the ravensburger 1000) and a week ago, I finished my first 2000 ravensburger puzzle! it took me 27.5 hours and I was SO proud 😍
Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos. After watching your 24,000 piece puzzle video, I bought one for myself for Christmas last year and finished it in October. I haven't seen the Minions movie either, but like the puzzle. Now let's watch part 2!
My biggest puzzle ever was 2000. It took months. It was very hard but the most enjoyable puzzle I’ve ever done. Thoroughly recommend for any one who plays an orchestral musical instrument. It is Heyes, Loup, the orchestra. It’s the one in the big triangle box. All the musicians, even though they don’t have enough fingers, are all spot on in the way they are holding instruments and what they are getting up to. Fascinating. And hard all the way through, even down the the last three pieces. A musician friend who saw it on my wall stared for about 15 minutes then bought a copy for her husband’s birthday. My dad always used to want to do some,….but that might have been because he thought that some of the ladies were interesting…. Warning, parents please check a close up image before purchasing for a child. It’s not terrible but it’s not completely innocent either.
Minion. I have become a patreon because, first, I like the content, It's very satisfying to see you make the puzzles. Makes me calm. Plus, you're a kind lady, with both feet on the ground. I like that. I hope I will be able to support you for a long time. Kinda depends on my own job. I support you amd a kind guy who gives walkingtours in NY and he knows a lot about It's history. Love both contents, so I hope to keep supporting both of you 😊👍
Karen, I love Minions Movies Games and Jigsaw Puzzle, also I do working on my puzzles from time to time, one day I be back working on it, good luck to Finish It and making all videos into one video, take care.
O.... M.... G!!!! I didn't even KNOW there were puzzles that big!! It's giving me goosebumps!! I've GOT to put one on my wishlist!! The biggest puzzles I've ever done were 2000 pieces... 😥 Yeah. I know. I'm a serious amateur. Even if I've been doing puzzles since I was probably 5, and I did large puzzles (okay, large to me - 1000, 1500, etc) with my mother for decades, and we did the 2000 piece puzzles together. Here's the kicker, though - we did them with cats living with us! We've always had kitties, so there have been ... challenges sometimes. 😄 Mostly, though, they were always well-behaved, and we only occasionally had a piece or two that we'd accidentally knocked off get discovered with a couple of tiny teeth holes in them. 😀 😉 I'm so glad I found this channel - thank you so much, Standupmaths! 🙂
Watching you snap those pieces into place is so satisfying in the close-up shots. Makes me wanna get up and go work on my puzzle right now. Too bad I’m watching this in bed trying to get sleepy. Excellent work on this giant puzzle! You make it look relatively easy!
I love the fact that the Minions make you so happy!! The biggest puzzle I have done is a 2000 pc that took me a month to do. It felt like forever. I enjoy a 1000 pc puzzle, but I like to break them up with 300 and 500 pc puzzles as well. Makes me feel like I'm working my way thru my collection!! Looking forward to Part 2.
Thanks for posting Karen. I'm currently embarking on the second half of a 9000 piece puzzle (Garden of Earthly Delights - Educa). Its feeling so much easier and more fun than getting started on the first half. I have learned so much about sorting and process. Basically sorting is everything with this puzzle. With only the edge and one small section complete I have all the pieces laid out in rows on 60x55cm sheets of corflute (stiff cardboard type plastic used for signage) in rough colour sorts - this makes it easy to pick out the next section pieces I want to work on and gives your brain a chance to 'remember' where individual pieces are. I concluded that paramount is easy access to *all* the pieces with a large puzzle. Having boxes of stacked pieces is not good with such a large puzzle and I struggled with that early on in the first section.
I am considering purchasing a Ravensburger 9000 piece puzzle. You make it look easy. Thanks for the time break outs. It helps to put time needed into prospective. The largest puzzle I have completed is 1500 pieces.
My kids and husband and I love to do puzzles together. The biggest one we've done is 2000 piece Pixar movie posters. We're working on a 1000 piece Hyrule map right now, and it's so hard. Everything is tan! I'm gonna show this to the kids tomorrow; they absolutely LOVE these movies and will have a blast watching
I did smaller 100 piece puzzles as a kid, but I started getting into back into puzzles after watching this channel. I have finished a couple 2,000 piece ones, I am currently working on a 6,000 piece one. This "MINIONS" one looks fun though
Minion: Up to now, the largest single amount of pieces I’ve built is 6000 - that was the Venice Sunset by Clementoni. I built the 13,200 piece Disney Orchestra, but the largest section I did of that was 4408 pieces (two sections mixed). I am currently working on the 9000 piece Disney Museum by Ravensburger and I have mixed the pieces, so once that’s done, it will be the biggest single amount of pieces I have tackled. This Minions puzzle looks so fun - I love the bright colours. I would love to try the dragons 9000 piece by Ravensburger too, but they are so expensive I tend only to buy the large ones every now and again. 😊 I’m looking forward to your next few videos on this, what will you do with it once you’re done? Take apart? I still haven’t decided with my Disney Museum one - I thought about giving it to my sister to frame as she is a massive Disney fan
The biggest puzzle I've ever completed was a 3000 piece Jan van Haasteren puzzle. I have started on a 5000 piece Pokémon puzzle (also by Ravensburger) but than we found a house and are now in the process of moving. Since I wasn't actually that far yet I decided to pack it back up and continue after we finished moving in a couple months. I still have a 2000 piece Jan van Haasteren to finish as well that my boyfriend got me for Christmas. Might do that before the 5000 piece one to get back into it. Love the giant puzzles, looking forward to seeing all the little "minion"s show up next time
This was such wonderful timing ☺️ I love the format of these larger piece puzzles. I sincerely enjoy them and I just got my lunch and sat down and ding notification ☺️
More fun math. If you started with one random piece and then took each piece out of a bag and tried it in place - with a fifty percent chance of finding the correct piece halfway through the bag - then repeated this process until the puzzle is complete, it would take on average ((2249x4500)+2250)x2 tries = 20,245,500 tries. If each round (of pulling a piece from the bag, evaluating whether it fits, and discarding it into a pile) takes just 4 seconds, then the entire puzzle would take 133 weeks nonstop. This would essentially be blindfolded jigsaw puzzle solving. Conclusion: It’s really good to have a strategy, or plenty of Minions. 😀😀😀😀
Wow Karen you have way more patience than I do. I tried to take on a 2,000 peoce puzzle with my family that was Disney themed. And it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I was go glad when we finished it. I felt so accomplished. Keep up the amazing work. I have no idea how you are doing 9,000 peices without losing your mind.
Following your idea we did a 100 piece as a family for mas, showing a bunch of wideeyed brussel sprouts with santa hats, then packed it as an advent calender to hand down next year.
So me and my mom were one of the groups who did puzzles over Covid and I really enjoyed it but after doing two ones that took months we kinda just stopped but I had gotten some puzzles for different holidays that I never dod. Randomly a few weeks ago I did one of them. It was 500 pieces and only took like an hour but I really enjoyed it and have been using n a puzzle kick since. I got 2 for Christmas, have 3 from last Christmas, and one I bought while on vacation and am having fun doing them. I discovered this channel at the same time and it’s been really fun
The largest I have finished so far are a bunch of 1500-piece puzzles. However I am currently waiting for the cloudberries 2000 piece gradient that I have ordered, can’t wait!! I also have a 2000-piece and a 3000-piece puzzles halfway done in boxes, but my apartment is just too small to work on them for a long time so I’m saving them for later! We are looking into moving to a larger space and I have decided that my move-in gift for myself will be the Life 24000 pieces! I have been overly excited for that one ever since you did yours 😅 Also, I just love how excited you are about this puzzle, can’t wait to see you assemble the minions 😄
Yay for another giant puzzle series!! I loved the first one (it’s how I found out your channel) and I can’t wait to see the next video. All those little Minions eyes were a bit creepy tho 😂
You worked like a "minion" getting that puzzle started and, on the go. Can't wait to see it when it's done... I was thinking...hmmm, was the seller of this puzzle holding her breath until you found those missing end pieces - I was... Thanks for posting your positivity today - I love it...
I love watching you do these big puzzles! The biggest I did is the one I am working on right now, 2000 pieces. I'm down to the last 100-200ish of the sky. It is a bit more difficult then I would like... (Minion)
Hi Karen! I'm fairly new to the channel and I have started puzzling again thanks to your videos! I was very little, about 10 years old when I helped my grandfather with his 10000 piece puzzle. I did a small section that was like 20 pieces or so and was so proud of myself! Still it was better than Valentina 😂
I'm finally getting started on the 9000 piece Minions puzzle! Let me know if there's anything specific you want to see me talk about in the next video in this series 💛 Make sure to head over to Patreon to see a bonus video about this puzzle too!

Sometimes when I puzzle or play a repetitive type puzzle of videogame, like a tetras type game, etc., I later see the pieces in my dreams, sometimes nearly all night.
Karen, I'm wondering, does this ever happen to you?
Have you ever done a comic style puzzle like "Jan van Haasteren"? (Just pop that into Google and watch the images)
The real MVP of this video is Valentina. Wouldn’t have gotten to this point for part 1 without those 3 pieces 😂
Definitely, a big shout out to her: Thanks Valentina! Without you this video wasn't be possible 😁😁😁
Find someone who looks at you the way Karen looks at a 9000 piece Minions puzzle
I'm looking forward to finding that person too... lol
I need a shirt that says this exact thing!
That’s funny shit
even better, find yourself someone who looks at you the way disembodied minion eyes look at Karen

The magic puzzle company 1000 piece onces are so fun!!! They are easier than normal bc there are more edges
hows your journey on the 1000?
@@TheSpelledMilkdid you ever do a puzzle?
I would be terrified using a big board overhanging the table like that - I can see myself pinging the edge and sending 100 pieces into the air!

You’re so funny and thorough! I guess that’s why I, a non-puzzler, keep on coming back.. you never fail to make me smile! ✨ The enthusiasm that you exude is contagious.
The biggest puzzle I’ve done is only 1000 . I like doing puzzles , but I’m not a whiz at them, so it takes me a long time to finish one even that big. I don’t think I’d have the patience to do one this huge.
Good job on the “ Minions”. Entertaining as always.
Glad someone is warm!!! Chilling in -20°C weather right now!!! Yesterday it was 8°C!!! I was spring is coming. No!!! Dog sitting I thought it would be easy!!! You've never seen any of the movies??? There cute!!! I love the minions!!! Take care and have fun!!! 😷😎😷
Ms Karen….I just finished my third 500 piece puzzle….I think I’m going to
continue to do puzzles…..I found it to be relaxing and very enjoyable….
Excellent video….your enthusiasm is infectious…looking forward to you next project
as I set my goal at a puzzle with 1000 pieces
@av-ji9qy did you manage a 1000-piece puzzle? :)
Karen, I’m watching this a few days late and with Ukraine and some things in my local Florida area, the world is such a scary place. So watching your video has calmed me and brought me joy. The thing that would make me hesitate to do the MINIONS or other giant puzzle is the sorting!!
I found this channel a few months ago and I am glad I did! :D
But the largest puzzle I've ever done was a 3000 Ravensburger puzzle and it took me approximately 2 weeks, but I as gosh darn proud when I finished it.
Minion...My biggest puzzle I've done was 3000 by Ravenburger it was The Jungle one. I love watching you. Sometimes I work on my puzzle while watching you. I am so happy you are doing this regularly. Keep Puzzling and smiling!
This puzzle looks amazing! You’ve made great progress! I’m currently working on a 40,320 piece Disney through the years puzzle! I’m working on 3/10 of the sections! 🌺🌺
Oh WOW-
Wow that’s a lot of piece I wouldn’t have the patience to do a jigsaw like that
The most satisfying part of the video was the one where you found the missing purple edge piece 💜
So cool! Can’t believe how big this puzzle is. I’ve done a puzzle with 2000 pieces and it took me far too long. And this is much harder than that
I am so thrilled that you finally get to do this as your whole job! All your hard work over the years has paid off!
Ravensburger puzzles really are the best! I did one of their 2000 piece puzzles in 8 days over Christmas. It barely fit on my table, which I thought was huge. I can’t imagine doing their bigger ones. You should get the 40,000 piece puzzle.
I’m jealous just watching you unbox!
Even with a tiny bit of help from Valentina (shall we call her your Sorting MINION?), this one looks like it'll be a hell of a ride. I hope you're enjoying solving the puzzle as much as I enjoyed watching the first part of your journey.
You know what would be cool, a livestream. It would be awesome to just be there to talk and watch the puzzle come together in real time!
Love the time lapse of you sorting the pieces! So cool and satisfying to see the pile shrink so fast! haha 😁
I'm so impressed with the time you're able to spend sorting. I'd love to do a bigger puzzle like that but I'd need a "minion" to help with the sorting. The biggest I've ever done was 1500 pieces, which seemed like just the right amount of challenge.
Really love to watch your videos. The way they are edited makes it so relaxing to watch!
my dearest Karen, I am quite literally your biggest fan. I am a complete jigsaw puzzle addict as well. I was born pretty late in my mothers life. She had me when she was 45 years old. By the time I was 12 years old my mother had become quite ill and suffered of many different illnesses. At 12 I had started doing all the things that a mother normally does for her child. however I also was going to school full time and caring for a sick and ailing parent. I did everything from paying bills, grocery shopping, house cleaning, bathing my mother, dressing her, giving her all of her medications, helping her use the restroom etc.....I should also mention that my mother was in a wheel chair as well...... long story...umm short? lol... she asked me to quit school in grade 10 and care for her 24/7 as she was in fear of falling while I was at school... of course I did so and she and I would sit for hours and hours putting together jigsaw puzzles. My mother passed away when i was 25. Today I am still doing puzzles as often as i can however I am now 47 and disabled myself with very bad back issues from lifting my mother in and out of her chair and into bed etc. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. If given the chance I wouldn"t change a thing even though at 25 after my mother passed away I was left alone, uneducated and no work experience...My mother was and always while be my very best friend. 8 1/2 years ago she sent me my soulmate and my new best friend in way of my common law husband. What used to be my mothers and i past time is now something i share with my husband. Thank you so very much for allowing me to watch your videos and remember my mom and the special times that we shared. I am on a disability pension now so I cannot afford puzzles brands such as Springbok, Ravensburger, White Mountain etc. so i live vicariously through your videos lol....thank you for the memories......
I can't stand the fact that you've never saw a minions movie and then you got in so much trouble getting the puzzle arrived to you. It's just so funny to me, I love/hate that.
I love seeing you tackle big puzzles! I can't wait to see this one all together, it's going to look great! The biggest I've done is 2000, but I just bought some 3000 piece puzzles that I can't start until I get some foam board to make my work space a bit bigger. I'm trying to work my way up to eventually doing the 42,000 piece Educa Around the World puzzle (in 6000 piece sections, of course!)
I’m really addicted to your videos! Always looking forward to the next one. At the moment I’m doing the Ravensburgers „Magical Bookcase“ 18000 piece puzzle. I mixed all 18000 pc together. First I thought that I must be crazy…but now I think it‘s so much fun and really makeable😅
Ooo sick. Did ya end up finishing it?
the biggest puzzle I have completed was a 3000 piece Ravensburger "zodiac". I do have a 6000 piece Clementoni "Downtown" and a 4000 piece Educa "Lighthouse at Rockbay" in my to do pile. I would love to get my hands on the 9000 piece minion puzzle. I think it is awesome that you love it so much without every seeing any of the movies. Can't wait until the next installment!
Love love love I'm a puzzle lover from new Zealand and your tape trick has worked a treat to keep all mine intact thank you I love all your 50s 60s puzzles too love lloydy
Woww!! Such a beautiful puzzle. Must be so fun to do. Currently doing my first 3000.
I'm STILL working on the 9000 piece puzzle I won from you 🤣🤣🤣 THEY'RE SO HARD! I have adopted 2 kittens since winning and had surgeries so I've had to stop and store it several times but IT WILL BE DONE one day 🤣🤣🤣
I just did a little vintage puzzle made in 1968, and filmed it for RUclips, and afterwards went searching for puzzle people, and found YOU! So people do this!!! I might be joining you!!! 🙂
I love how every sunday I watch half of a video before lunch and the other half after lunch. Today we have lasagna because my birthday was on the 15th and I chose that lol my grandmas came over and we're having a small cake without singing. When they go back home I'll do my new Ceaco puzzle with Thomas Kinkade's ilustrations 😍 first time doing this brand so I'm really excited!! I think my mom will join me because she's in love with the illustrations... Well, I am too 😅
Happy birthday for the fifteenth. Lasagna sounds lovely.
@@dees3179 it surely was!! But now I'm back to finish the video, every sunday with Karen is a good Sunday 😄
you and your channel got me into puzzling last year (i always do the ravensburger 1000) and a week ago, I finished my first 2000 ravensburger puzzle! it took me 27.5 hours and I was SO proud 😍
Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos. After watching your 24,000 piece puzzle video, I bought one for myself for Christmas last year and finished it in October. I haven't seen the Minions movie either, but like the puzzle. Now let's watch part 2!
Wow! 😱 9000 pieces! I finished my first 1500 piece puzzle two days ago. 😊 Looking so forward to this series! 🤗
My biggest puzzle ever was 2000. It took months. It was very hard but the most enjoyable puzzle I’ve ever done. Thoroughly recommend for any one who plays an orchestral musical instrument. It is Heyes, Loup, the orchestra. It’s the one in the big triangle box. All the musicians, even though they don’t have enough fingers, are all spot on in the way they are holding instruments and what they are getting up to. Fascinating. And hard all the way through, even down the the last three pieces.
A musician friend who saw it on my wall stared for about 15 minutes then bought a copy for her husband’s birthday.
My dad always used to want to do some,….but that might have been because he thought that some of the ladies were interesting….
Warning, parents please check a close up image before purchasing for a child. It’s not terrible but it’s not completely innocent either.
What a cliffhanger!! Look forward to the next video. Your editing is great!!
Watching Karen while I puzzle! Loving this video!
Minion. I have become a patreon because, first, I like the content, It's very satisfying to see you make the puzzles. Makes me calm. Plus, you're a kind lady, with both feet on the ground. I like that. I hope I will be able to support you for a long time. Kinda depends on my own job. I support you amd a kind guy who gives walkingtours in NY and he knows a lot about It's history. Love both contents, so I hope to keep supporting both of you 😊👍
Karen, I love Minions Movies Games and Jigsaw Puzzle, also I do working on my puzzles from time to time, one day I be back working on it, good luck to Finish It and making all videos into one video, take care.
I'm in extreme anxiety this night and you help me relax... thank you ❤
O.... M.... G!!!! I didn't even KNOW there were puzzles that big!! It's giving me goosebumps!! I've GOT to put one on my wishlist!!
The biggest puzzles I've ever done were 2000 pieces... 😥 Yeah. I know. I'm a serious amateur. Even if I've been doing puzzles since I was probably 5, and I did large puzzles (okay, large to me - 1000, 1500, etc) with my mother for decades, and we did the 2000 piece puzzles together.
Here's the kicker, though - we did them with cats living with us! We've always had kitties, so there have been ... challenges sometimes. 😄 Mostly, though, they were always well-behaved, and we only occasionally had a piece or two that we'd accidentally knocked off get discovered with a couple of tiny teeth holes in them. 😀 😉
I'm so glad I found this channel - thank you so much, Standupmaths! 🙂
Watching you snap those pieces into place is so satisfying in the close-up shots. Makes me wanna get up and go work on my puzzle right now. Too bad I’m watching this in bed trying to get sleepy.
Excellent work on this giant puzzle! You make it look relatively easy!
I had just finished rewatching your 24000 piece puzzle series when you posted this video. So excited.
I’m starting my first 1000 piece puzzle so far is going good it’s been one day your videos have help me out. Thank you 😊
I love the fact that the Minions make you so happy!! The biggest puzzle I have done is a 2000 pc that took me a month to do. It felt like forever. I enjoy a 1000 pc puzzle, but I like to break them up with 300 and 500 pc puzzles as well. Makes me feel like I'm working my way thru my collection!! Looking forward to Part 2.
Thanks for posting Karen. I'm currently embarking on the second half of a 9000 piece puzzle (Garden of Earthly Delights - Educa). Its feeling so much easier and more fun than getting started on the first half. I have learned so much about sorting and process. Basically sorting is everything with this puzzle. With only the edge and one small section complete I have all the pieces laid out in rows on 60x55cm sheets of corflute (stiff cardboard type plastic used for signage) in rough colour sorts - this makes it easy to pick out the next section pieces I want to work on and gives your brain a chance to 'remember' where individual pieces are. I concluded that paramount is easy access to *all* the pieces with a large puzzle. Having boxes of stacked pieces is not good with such a large puzzle and I struggled with that early on in the first section.
You always make me smile with your joy of puzzling! 😄🥰 Thank you for this. I love puzzles, 1000 is good for me🙂
decided to watch some puzzle videos while I eat and here is the new one
perfect timing
Minion .. Wow so awesome you put this puzzle together as far as you have. Thanks for sharing.
I love how excited you get over your puzzles, it makes me smile
Know what? You are a puzzle scientist, no less. Dr Karen Puzzles! Keep the puzzle cheer flowing. 🖖🏼
Minion - I really love these videos of giant puzzles..the biggest puzzle I've ever done is only 2500 pieces, but my dad and I did take ages for it !
I don’t know, it sounds to me like your own Minion, who only sorted 3 pieces, is as effective as the real Minion’s
Assemble the minions!!!
I am considering purchasing a Ravensburger 9000 piece puzzle. You make it look easy. Thanks for the time break outs. It helps to put time needed into prospective.
The largest puzzle I have completed is 1500 pieces.
The only channel I actually want to get notifications from 😄
I love your enthusiasm in doing a puzzle of a subject you are not that familiar with - the Minions. Kudos
My kids and husband and I love to do puzzles together. The biggest one we've done is 2000 piece Pixar movie posters. We're working on a 1000 piece Hyrule map right now, and it's so hard. Everything is tan! I'm gonna show this to the kids tomorrow; they absolutely LOVE these movies and will have a blast watching
I did smaller 100 piece puzzles as a kid, but I started getting into back into puzzles after watching this channel. I have finished a couple 2,000 piece ones, I am currently working on a 6,000 piece one. This "MINIONS" one looks fun though
It does but the sorting is going to take ages to do for a puzzle that big
You are probably the reason why I started doing puzzles again lol
🤣 I don't even like puzzles or minions. I just love Karen's personality. Shes so cute and I like to "watch" RUclips while I crochet
Ravensburger puzzles are amazing!!!
Minion: Up to now, the largest single amount of pieces I’ve built is 6000 - that was the Venice Sunset by Clementoni. I built the 13,200 piece Disney Orchestra, but the largest section I did of that was 4408 pieces (two sections mixed). I am currently working on the 9000 piece Disney Museum by Ravensburger and I have mixed the pieces, so once that’s done, it will be the biggest single amount of pieces I have tackled. This Minions puzzle looks so fun - I love the bright colours. I would love to try the dragons 9000 piece by Ravensburger too, but they are so expensive I tend only to buy the large ones every now and again. 😊 I’m looking forward to your next few videos on this, what will you do with it once you’re done? Take apart? I still haven’t decided with my Disney Museum one - I thought about giving it to my sister to frame as she is a massive Disney fan
Your patience, excitement, and skill are applaudable.
Omg. I didn't even know they made puzzles this big. Thank you for sharing. You would be a blast to chill with & do puzzles with 👍
The biggest puzzle I've ever completed was a 3000 piece Jan van Haasteren puzzle. I have started on a 5000 piece Pokémon puzzle (also by Ravensburger) but than we found a house and are now in the process of moving. Since I wasn't actually that far yet I decided to pack it back up and continue after we finished moving in a couple months. I still have a 2000 piece Jan van Haasteren to finish as well that my boyfriend got me for Christmas. Might do that before the 5000 piece one to get back into it. Love the giant puzzles, looking forward to seeing all the little "minion"s show up next time
This was such wonderful timing ☺️ I love the format of these larger piece puzzles. I sincerely enjoy them and I just got my lunch and sat down and ding notification ☺️
I think I was probably one of the many to contact you regarding a german seller! Glad to see you got your hands on one!
More fun math. If you started with one random piece and then took each piece out of a bag and tried it in place - with a fifty percent chance of finding the correct piece halfway through the bag - then repeated this process until the puzzle is complete, it would take on average
((2249x4500)+2250)x2 tries = 20,245,500 tries.
If each round (of pulling a piece from the bag, evaluating whether it fits, and discarding it into a pile) takes just 4 seconds, then the entire puzzle would take 133 weeks nonstop. This would essentially be blindfolded jigsaw puzzle solving.
Conclusion: It’s really good to have a strategy, or plenty of Minions. 😀😀😀😀
I've just recently got into doing large puzzles, the largest one I've done so far is 1000pcs and I'm overwhelmed I couldn't imagine..
Wow Karen you have way more patience than I do. I tried to take on a 2,000 peoce puzzle with my family that was Disney themed. And it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I was go glad when we finished it. I felt so accomplished. Keep up the amazing work. I have no idea how you are doing 9,000 peices without losing your mind.
Following your idea we did a 100 piece as a family for mas, showing a bunch of wideeyed brussel sprouts with santa hats, then packed it as an advent calender to hand down next year.
your so determined when i do a puzzle i do the sorting and then give up after like 5 mins
Your sorting skills are amazing.
I'm so 😆 your doing the 9000 piece puzzle. Thank you. U bring so much joy right now. Happy face
What a fun puzzle!!! Can't wait to see it completed 🙃
So me and my mom were one of the groups who did puzzles over Covid and I really enjoyed it but after doing two ones that took months we kinda just stopped but I had gotten some puzzles for different holidays that I never dod. Randomly a few weeks ago I did one of them. It was 500 pieces and only took like an hour but I really enjoyed it and have been using n a puzzle kick since. I got 2 for Christmas, have 3 from last Christmas, and one I bought while on vacation and am having fun doing them. I discovered this channel at the same time and it’s been really fun
The largest I have finished so far are a bunch of 1500-piece puzzles. However I am currently waiting for the cloudberries 2000 piece gradient that I have ordered, can’t wait!! I also have a 2000-piece and a 3000-piece puzzles halfway done in boxes, but my apartment is just too small to work on them for a long time so I’m saving them for later! We are looking into moving to a larger space and I have decided that my move-in gift for myself will be the Life 24000 pieces! I have been overly excited for that one ever since you did yours 😅 Also, I just love how excited you are about this puzzle, can’t wait to see you assemble the minions 😄
You brought me JOY today Karen 😀Thank You!!
Karen I see you love puzzles and you are very intelligent keep doing puzzle and never give up
Yay for another giant puzzle series!! I loved the first one (it’s how I found out your channel) and I can’t wait to see the next video.
All those little Minions eyes were a bit creepy tho 😂
You worked like a "minion" getting that puzzle started and, on the go. Can't wait to see it when it's done... I was thinking...hmmm, was the seller of this puzzle holding her breath until you found those missing end pieces - I was... Thanks for posting your positivity today - I love it...
I love this Minions puzzle! I also haven’t seen any of the movies but the characters look bright and cute.
I love watching you do these big puzzles! The biggest I did is the one I am working on right now, 2000 pieces. I'm down to the last 100-200ish of the sky. It is a bit more difficult then I would like... (Minion)
Hi Karen! I'm fairly new to the channel and I have started puzzling again thanks to your videos! I was very little, about 10 years old when I helped my grandfather with his 10000 piece puzzle. I did a small section that was like 20 pieces or so and was so proud of myself! Still it was better than Valentina 😂
I really love how excited Karen is! 🧩
