Puzzler logic: “That was a long and stressful day of doing puzzles, let’s do a giant puzzle to relax!” 😂😂😂
Fun fact - this is actually the 4th largest puzzle in the world! The only three bigger than it are:
3. Martin Puzzle - 52,110 (comes pre-assembled, so you could break it up into however many sections you want)
2. Travel Around Art by Grafika - 54,000 pieces (27 sections of 2,000 pieces each)
1. What a Wonderful World by Dowdle - 60,000 pieces (60 sections of 1,000 pieces each)
Which one should we do at the next Nationals?
I really feel like there should be a casual competition for the 60,000 piece puzzle. 60 teams of 1000 pieces each. Just for fun.
I have done the Travel Around Art puzzle and there are huge "white" areas. The Dowdle Puzzle looks easier and has more units...
#1 of course! 😊
Donna Louise from "For the Love of Puzzles" in New Zealand has done the Travel Around Art by Grafika puzzle. She even put it up on Full Display in a public studio in her city!!
@@KarenPuzzles I’m working on the Dowdle puzzle. 34,000 pieces down!
I was honored to put the last puzzle piece in this humongous puzzle. No more blue skies for me!😂
You’re the hero of this puzzle!
"This is why we can't put a microphone on you during competitions." - Naah, this is exactly why we'd like a microphone on Sarah during competitions! 😆
😈😈😈😈😈
I don't know why but this made me so happy watching this video. It made me cry watching all these people come together for a common cause putting this puzzle together
I love when that happens in @karenpuzzles videos. Sometimes she touches my heart in just the right way. I'm glad I'm not the only one. 🙂
I grinned and chuckled many times watching this video. Time to open my next puzzle.
I can't speed puzzling. But i would love to join on the giant puzzle. How fun.
It's so nice!
I would love to go to a puzzling event that's not about speed.
She's like Scrooge McDuck bathing in coins, just with puzzle pieces 😅
Ok hear me out, Karen gets married and instead of throwing confetti or rice it’s puzzle pieces 🧩
That definitely crossed my mind too! But maybe made out of something lighter than cardboard!!
The image you made of how many “you’s” it takes to make the length of the puzzle cracked me up 😂 this was one of my favorite parts of the puzzle competition video I’m so glad you gave it its own spotlight!
I'm very sad for the Karen who was cut in pieces -- and wondering what happened to her remaining 5%? 😆
You know, it's really cool how something as initially innocuous as jigsaw puzzles ends up having such a strong, friendly, and fun community. I never would've expected that when I first started watching your videos, but now I know better! Even if I'm not generally a social or community person, it does my heart a lot of good knowing that the community _is_ there for people who get a lot of value out of it. This was a great vid. ♥
That ending must have felt so cathartic after an entire weekend of intense puzzling! Had a wide grin on my face the entire time from the joy spreading from the video.
I don't really do puzzles and have never had any particular attachment to them, but the hobby and the passion Karen and others have for it is just so wholesome that I've been watching this channel for years.
Watching the speed puzzlers cheer for the other puzzlers finishing their sections was so wholesome 🥹
this puzzle is doable solo if you want. 27 puzzles at 1900 pieces. just need to complete one puzzle a week. 27 weeks out of 52. but the glaring issue is, where do you store the puzzle in between. 6 months of stacking puzzles is a lot of room. sometimes when the math says you can do it sometimes it might not be wise to do it.
It's definitely doable by one person and there are a lot of news articles about people who have done it. But I doubt one person could do it in 3 days!
All these puzzles are doable solo, because they're not one huge puzzle but a set of smaller ones.
While working on it, even the Kodak puzzle takes less space than you think - just stack the finished puzzles on foamboards under your bed or sofa. The only problem is having space to put all the puzzles together.
I’m so glad you made more about the monster puzzle .
Sounds like a great way to meet lots of people. I’d have definitely joined in.
It definitely makes it easier to chat since you have a common activity 😊
i wish i was there just to help with the monster puzzle.
Sarah getting absolutely bamboozled with pieces just made me laugh so hard 😂😂
The group effort on that 4k is amazing. A puzzle friend and I took on a 3k over 4 or 5 meetups (she did some sorting in between...my puzzle, but her house) and it is the largest I have attempted so far. $2 thrift store find that was only missing a knob on one piece, everything else was there. We even kept it assembled in small sections when we finished and used your demonstration of removing a row to move sections and sizec them for the box. It was the Nickelodeon Aquarius (so much yellow!). I also have the 40k...a $100 marketplace find from a moving military family who had been toting it around for years and realized it was better to just buy another copy of they ever had the space to put it together instead of using their limited packing allotment continuing to take it all over the world (seriously, the puzzle has seen more of the world than I have). One day, maybe I'll be brave enough, but the fact remains that I was never going to find it for $100 again if I didn't grab that deal!
I have the 18,000 piece Ravensburger "Tropical Impressions" and they are NOT for the casual puzzler. They are difficult! I have started one section and the green edge banding is all the same color, so many false fits that I am not surprised they could not complete this puzzle in a weekend. The cut on this puzzle is not the typical Ravensburger puzzle pieces. The cardboard is a bit thinner, and the pieces have more of the two in's and two out's than a typical Ravensburger puzzle. I've completed two different 5,000 piece Ravensburger puzzles and they didn't have the difficulty of the 18,000 puzzles.
That's true, they have to use a special process to make the really huge ones. You saw all the trouble I had with the end of the Zodiac puzzle last summer 🤦🏻♀️
I gave up on the green border, too many false fits. Life is too short.
my friend works in a toy store and they have the giant disney puzzle out!! and it’s taken… so long. she told me they’ve done just snow white and they’re working on peter pan and it’s been like, a year. as someone who’s worked on the snow white, it’s soo validating to hear you call it hard!!
I love the idea of hotel security just watching a bunch of puzzlers get wine drunk on cctv and destroy the massive puzzle they’ve spent the weekend on and have a ‘puzzle’ fight 😂
Also I collect the 1000 piece variants of that Disney puzzle and have dnf’d 2 because of how hard they are. Some have no differentiation between pieces and massive blocks of black/dark blue. Can’t imagine trying to do it at 4x the scale
16:50 Sarah being chaotic as usual and picking butt pieces made me laugh so hard 🤣💜
😈 hehehehehe
@@SarahDoesPuzzleshey! You are awesome 😄
Idea for a new new-years-eve tradition: finish a giant puzzle over the year, pick it up at midnight between the years, and then celebrate using it as confetti.
I absolutely love the idea of a convention pass! I am still way to slow for the competition but I would still love to participate in the event. That looks like so much fun.
Nothing permanent was produced? Well, there is this legendary video.
It is still amazing of how much the puzzle community has gotten closer over the course of past few years. Sure there is the competitive side during competition as there should be but after the timer is done, you all seem to be great friends.
Sarah doing the puzzle angel was so adorable.
John from "Puzzle Me This" combined the 42,000 piece educa puzzle together and is still solving 18 months along. He has posted a video once a month to document his progress. Watching him dump all the pieces into a bin in the beginning was mind-blowing. It has been quite a journey. There are some very interesting strategies implemented along the way. If anyone is considering a challenge of this nature, I recommend watching his channel.
There's something just so sweet and wholesome about seeing this many people come together for a common cause. Even if the cause is just a giant puzzle that you destroy in the end. 😂
10:12 americans will use anything but the metric system
Karen system >>> metric system
We definitely brought one of those last sections down to work on during the closing ceremonies so we didn't have to miss either. So much sky!!! Also what a great group of puzzlers to work on that Disney section! You all made amazing progress.
after how many glases of wine someone was swimming in puzzlepieces ? 😂
I will say that I personally only had a very small glass of wine (and that's why the footage is so coherent). I can't speak for everyone else in the room 😂
I wonder how many puzzle-piece angels have ever been made, in the whole world. I mean... how often does the chance even come along?
I think the 'Karen' ahould be a standard unit of measurement now 😂😂😂
People outside of this channel would have a much different definition for that 😂
@@KarenPuzzles that's true, but I still think it's a viable option 😂😂
I'm going to use it from now on 😂
@@KarenPuzzles I think you'd be still be a much better measuring unit than a "Smoot". Many more people have an idea about what a "Karen" looks like.
How tall are you?
About 1.25 Karens. 🤣
@@janesmith5967 more like just under 2 Karen's give or take 😂😂
Everyone needs a Sarah! 🥰. Oh! And a Karen to film it all! 😄😄
Thank-you for keeping the up the long-held tradition of "banana for scale". 😆 I worry that one day, this knowledge will be lost to time.
I saw the clips you included of this at the back of your Nationals vids, but it's nice to see it receive a further in-depth treatment.
Yay! You’re at almost 300,000 subs now! I subbed about 150,000 ago, & I love watching your numbers keep going up! It was also heart warming today to watch all of you puzzlers working together with such joy & camaraderie. You cracked me up with the graphic for how many Karens long the puzzle was! 😂
The joy of all people participating is so heartwarming 😊
Aw, and you worked on Prague section, that makes me so happy, our country is so tiny and we rarely got puzzles with any of our cities or architecture.
Thank you for the inspiration at the end; I'm looking to get more involved in the puzzling community and this strikes a chord for me in terms of the types of things I'm looking for.
The convention pass is such a great idea!! This is for ALL puzzles, not just speed puzzles. I love that!!
play it backwards
Play It Backwards
PLAY IT BACKWARDS

Yesss!!!!
I did make it to the end on the other video, enjoyed this more in-depth peek. ❤
Loved your little speech at the end 😊😊😊
I really hope, that one time everybody would overcome their "Neuschwanstein" obsession, when it comes to interesting landmarks of Germany. There are just so many more interesting places than this not-so-really-old-and-relevant "toy" castle built by a rather not-so-really-reasonable Bavarian king. I'm really jealous to all the other countries represented on this one.
Somehow Neuschwanstein has become the mascot of jigsaw puzzles everywhere 😂
I work at Goodwill and I found and old, circular, Springbok puzzle that was selling for $200 on eBay.
The only reason I knew to check the value is because I watch your videos.
So, thanks!
Amazing!
I wish I had friends puzzlers😂 I think it would be so cool to buy a huge puzzle and get together for a puzzling party like 1-2 times in a month. The puzzle will be ready in a year or two😅 but how many new memories we could have!
It's area is7.125 Karens squared.
Really fun to watch!
Excellent Vid🎉🎉🎉
Guinness book of records: Best Puzzle Angels
I love the fact that there was a Kodak theme puzzle.
... it rained? 🤣
I literally went Oooo out loud when I saw your new upload.
I love the longer version of this section! Its just so happy! 🎉
I already said it in the nationals video, this was such a well thought out event, done with so much love and loving details. 🥰 Thank you for doing this video, and letting us take part at least for a bit.
Also, did someone just cut onions or something?
So what happened to the 51300 piece puzzle at the end? Did someone take it home? Will they attempt to build it from mixed pieces?
This was a wonderful video Karen. And I feel like your puzzling friends are becoming my friends as well, because I know their faces. I especially loved the last part at Williams home. Of the 7 Puzzlers, I could name 5 of them right away because I know them!! There were 2 faces that I was not very familiar with, but that's OK. New friends to make, right?
You have such wonderful friends, Karen!!
You crazy puzzle nerds …… I love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this coverage! I live close to Borobudur, Indonesia so it would be great to see more Asian puzzles and subjects represented! I also didn’t know there was a puzzle this big haha
I'm not from any of those places (or even countries) on that puzzle, but I AM currently watching this in Venice on holiday. So I shall claim the Venice section anyways!
I love your competition videos, they're so much fun. As soon as I am back home I'm gonna solve a puzzle on time to see how I'll do - maybe I'll sign up for worlds just to see for myself how it is!
Kodak puzzles have beautiful color. I have worked a few 1,000 pc ones.
Watching the competition portion is definitely fun and exciting, but I think I like this better, seeing all those puzzle enthusiasts (puzzlers?) coming together to solve this mammoth of a puzzle brings me so much joy.
I don't think i've ever completed a puzzle in my life but i love your videos lol
It would be fun to do each section separately but in 1000 piece sections lol
That giant puzzle lift was so impressive!!!
Haha after you picked up the giant puzzle the room erupted into Puzzlers Gone Wild 😂
Neuschwanstein castle has to be the most used image for a jigsaw ever.
The unofficial mascot of jigsaw puzzles 😂
I wanna go be silly with a bunch of adults 😂
Sarah finding puzzle pieces in her hair for the next 3 days,
This makes me feel like I can complete this puzzle...
The speed in which you guys place the pieces is really crazy to me. I'll be spending like 20 minutes trying to find the correct piece and then have it not fit T^T
Anyway great video as always! ❣️
It just takes a lot of practice 🤷🏻♀️
This had to become a video. Such an iconic end to the Championships!
Would have been the first to offer to keep it haha So relaxing to see the enjoyment you guys had with it ❤
One of my top favorite videos that I’ve seen on this channel so far. Loved it!❤❤❤❤
more than a puzzle. it's a safe space community for fun. love this
if one person tried to do this they'd have to do 5 pieces in place every second for 72ish hours straight
This is such a happy video! Love it!
Puzzling is such a wholesome hobby. You all seem like a lovely bunch of people.
I really like your crew of people.
11:55 I was wondering wether a puzzler's heart must be bleeding when such beauties are getting destroyed, but it's a massive part of the fun I guess 😄🤗😂 I mean who needs wintertime when there's 13:38? 😉
Imagine doing a REAL 51,000 piece puzzle from what you merged together 😱😅
Kodac couldn’t find one wonder in Africa? Lol. Beautiful puzzles, so colourful
Definitely a note for if they ever make V2 of this puzzle 😬
Isn’t Egypt in Africa?
@@ThisIsMeMorgan in a word, no. Africa is an entire continent. Egypt is an African neighbour.
@ThisIsMeMorgan yes it is
@@ThisIsMeMorgan The correct answer: Egypt is located in northeastern Africa with its Sinai Peninsula stretching into Western Asia.
The chaos at the end is great
Good luck to anyone attempting to put all those 51,300 scrambled pieces back into place.
I watched that long video,
many congrats, WAHOO!!!
10:17 I cackled, that's so funny! 😂
next time you get a giant puzzle like that, you ***need*** to try holding it up intact, and getting someone to run through it
The reverse summoning back of the puzzle at the end was EPIC!!!
You are all having so much fun. I love this!
what a FANTASTIC way to end a competitive weekend with a fun collaboration! and destroying it must have been so satisfying too! Though, kinda sad it wasn't framed and signed by all the people that worked on it to show off at the next event. I really love the idea of the convention pass! Maybe I'll actually go one year now as a non-competitive puzzler
First, I watch all videos to the end because I sometimes find interesting suggested puzzles. Yes, I have DNF'd vids but waaay before the end.
I think you all had they greatest time! And it was wonderful that people like me, who just like to puzzle, got a chance to join in the fun! Great idea.
With puzzles this long I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to turn the Bayeux tapestry into a puzzle.
a wind-induced puzzle-fight (a la snow-fight) is amazing
well worth a second vid. is it weird i woke up thinking about this?!
Now you know why that puzzle was missing pieces. Whoever put it together before you attempted the pickup challenge, then rolled around in the pieces in a hotel ballroom 😅
I just started getting back into puzzles. I collect Wonder Woman puzzles and just finished a 1,000 piece. I'm a novice, but it makes me happy.
Such a big puzzle 🎉🎉 and so many people working on it. That is a very fun and special activity 🥰🥰
It only counts as a 51300 piece puzzle if all the pieces are mixed up. What's the largest " single bag" puzzle ? I'm a big fan .
This just makes me so happy! I love that you guys could break something that took so long!-idk if i could but im just rly impressed by everything!!!!!
I did enjoy the "the hotel staff wouldn't be happy if we left this on the floor [cut to kicking it all over the floor]" XD of course you did clean up but it was very funny. I wish I had the space to do those giant puzzles (and store them lol), they tickle my brain to see!
They were in the room as we were cleaning it up 😂
What a great group! This made me very happy!
Yes! Was hoping for a new video! ❤
You're first! (Besides my comments)
I love your content so much! Thank you for it! You are the person who really inspired me to get into puzzling! I have backwatched so many of your videos even the ones you did for HGTV and just loved them as well! Can't wait for more videos! 💖
