Karen Puzzles Nice Puzzle

[@Thyarna]

Never since it'll be extremely expensive to get them where I live. It's a shame 'cause I was very interested in the mini ones ç_ç After looking at their design I must say that MAYBE the ramen and the cereal ones may be more solid since their shape will make all the border pieces locked up togheter but... I will not take the chance with those prices XD

[@mccarraa]

pizza

[@smartbanter]

My husband and I did this puzzle. It was fun and a very nice puzzle, but we did have a few pieces here and there that seemed like they fit together and then, as we found more pieces, realized they didn't. Otherwise I agree with your review!

[@ariwoodward]

I really like that this company still sends her stuff even when she has criticism. They actually listen to what she says and maybe will improve their products! They're not just paying her to tell us to buy them, they're paying her to be honest and give us information and that's just a really good vibe. This has actually made me want to buy this companies puzzles, even the ones she criticized like the gradient and the *pizza*. I might buy one for Christmas!

[@feyfeline]

Karen: "for you my audience of hardcore puzzlers..." Me: *sweats in beginner*

[@louisejohnson6057]

I don't do jigsaw puzzles at all, lol. My cat Chewie is an energetic maniac, and in RL, a puzzle wouldn't stand a chance around her. Since I started watching this channel a month or so ago, I've started doing some online jigsaw puzzles, because that's all I've got, lol.

[@NeonCoffeeCat]

@@louisejohnson6057 i have two cats and i bought one of those puzzle rolls so i can just roll the puzzle up when i am not using it.

[@louisejohnson6057]

@@NeonCoffeeCat , Chewie would just do the zoomies straight through the puzzle. In a few years when she's calmed down a bit, I hope, I could try again, and then I'll know what kind of product to use, so thanks for the info.

[@fryingpan552]

We always appreciate your honest reviews, especially since your clearly explained reasoning and preferences help a lot with deciding which puzzles to invest our time and money into. Thanks, Karen!

[@puppyeyes9291]

I bought a 1000 piece puzzle just because it was on sale in the supermarket. It is a grayscale photo of a cat and there are lots of solid black parts. I open up your puzzling vids to accompany me doing this puzzle. This is only my second ever puzzle I've ever touched. When you called your audience "hardcore puzzlers" I was like, "lol, I'm not hardcore puzzler" then i realized I'm doing a 1000 piece black and white photo of a cat puzzle for the past 7 days and I have such little left! I guess I am too tough to cry!

[@pattystomper1]

I like how you move the box around, just in case there's a glare reflecting off of it. Very thoughtful, and very smart.

[@auntiesash]

I'm so glad they sent you the patterned puzzle. Perhaps they will listen to your input? If so, I'm glad you gave them a pizza your mind.

[@TheKatinkablokker]

I’m getting even more into puzzles because of you! Got two second-hand puzzles today which I think are beautiful, and that for only 5 euros😍

[@puzzlessimo7080]

Rat. Charity shop puzzle is most of the time the beast deal ever 🤭🤗

[@Jennifer-cj5pd]

I like how you shared your honest opinion of the pizza puzzle and still was able to share some positive thoughts about it was well. Thanks! I’ve never done any area ware puzzles and that pattern one looks cool.

[@crochetingcanuck]

There is a cheap food brand carried in a lot of grocery stores here in Canada called No Name, and their packaging looks EXACTLY like the packaging of those food puzzles. Yellow with black type, very basic. I think the font is different, but they look practically identical otherwise. So weird! Pizza!

[@HMoneyBudgeting]

I was thinking the same thing as i was watching it

[@magnoliad3378]

I’m from Canada Quebec and I see them every time I go to a grocery store

[@Hayden-rc1ru]

omg, true ahahaha.

[@mrbeans-yp1gv]

Same. They’re pretty common at the Atlantic Superstore by my house.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

We have a similar “no name”brand here in Australia, it’s called Black & Gold …..for obvious reasons..(although it’s more yellow than gold really). I’m guessing that it might be the same company.

[@norwaysofen]

I love your "nerdiness", and had pizza for dinner yesterday :)

[@zangetsu284]

I have pretty much binged all your videos so far, in the last couple of weeks, and you are making me want to get a puzzle soon.

[@anselimnida]

My family got three of the little things food puzzles for christmas one year and had a little competition to solve them the fastest. We had the PIZZA, the bowl of noodles, and the french fries. We did three rounds head-to-head, each one of us doing each puzzle once and then added our times together. It was so much fun! The bowl of noodles was my favorite. I liked it best as a puzzle and it was consistently the fastest solve. It was cool to see you review them here!

[@jasminesmith333]

I have the lenticular puzzle and the first time I put it together, I did it "upside down" from how you put it together. I started it oriented differently the next time, adding a bit of a challenge to a puzzle I was familiar with! The pizza puzzle is a cutie, and would be good for a kid.

[@Miguel-Noche]

I want to do one! When you displayed the 3 of them, I was immediately drawn to the middle one! Buying it now. :-) Thanks, Karen! Pizza!

[@VirginiaGreco_Scrapbooking]

Thanks for this review! The pizza looks fun, but the pieces need to stay together!!!

[@GopherAtl]

"not immediately obvious it's a puzzle" If it's a box in Karen's home, people will probably make an educated guess what's inside!

[@jewelxiat]

LOL a visitor opens her kitchen cabinets to find her cereal puzzles and they’re like “of course” 😂

[@HannahGreendale]

I kind of like how the end piece can be removed from the Pizza puzzle. It makes it look like someone took a first bite. 😋

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Pizza. Love your reviews, Karen. I put my puzzle pieces in zip lock bags after I tear down my puzzles. I never loose pieces that way. Keep puzzling:)

[@firedreams1]

I kinda love that the pizza tip falls off because its like a bite was taken out

[@HowardFrischer]

Its like taking a bite out of the pizza, I love that the tip is not locking.

[@bugoobiga]

2:05 I said this in another comment on another video of yours. Cut away most of the shrink wrap around the sticker, and save it on the shrink wrap. Just keep it in the box.

[@barbieshatky5682]

💛💛💛💛💛 No , I haven't I don't t like food puzzles! I agree! 😃

[@icturner23]

I love their boxes too.

[@nancyvomund2129]

Loved this puzzle.

[@maddie77933]

I’m really glad you reviewed those mini puzzles! I always wanted one for my coffee table so people could put a piece in as they came and went from my apartment, but the price always held me back. I really appreciate the review, I’m definitely not gonna get one now haha

[@KarenPuzzles]

I love the idea of having a small puzzle out for visitors to do!

[@catsgallery3864]

Pizza, pizza pizza 🍕 I love the contemporary puzzles.

[@lastgameplay]

My wife enjoys Puzzles, I send these videos to her to view. Thanks for the videos...

[@BadAss15-60]

Karen, have you ever done a double-sided puzzle? They’re my faves.

[@dawnpiccolo7044]

I haven't done any of these puzzles and probably won't especially the pizza one. Oh I'm such a puzzle nerd too my husband says I'm a puzzle. The 6000 piece Noah's Arc made me almost lose my mind. I love your videos your just so cute. I wish more puzzles came in sealable bags. Happy puzzleing!

[@juliekalbow8221]

Pizza! Love these videos would love to meet you one day I've been a puzzle nerd for years I'm 41 back in my 20''s I was stuck on the panoramic puzzles especially New York, San Francisco and any of them I could find! Lol

[@flowergrowersmith449]

Very nice, Areaware! I love a nice little 500 piecer ! Good review, Karen. I agree with you re the PIZZA puzzle!

[@pete5668]

pizza I love the look of those pattern puzzles. I think the pizza puzzle's pointed piece not piecing together is a description of the tendency of pizza slices to not last very long without someone biting into them. I do understand that it is a quality issue though. Love your reviews Karen. Nice work!

[@fritzholm3345]

PIZZA 🍕😊 I agree with you on the pieces-should-lock-together-thing! However, the idea with shape-puzzles is fun (at least I think so) and shows that a puzzle doesn't always have to be a square or rectangular shape... 🔵🛑⭐☁️🎈🎃🎄 --> Ideas for puzzle shapes 🙃😉😊

[@BoastfulGhost]

I wanted to like the tiny puzzles so much!!! I thought they were so cute! I saw the video where you did the... "PIZZA" puzzle and I kinda cringed when the pieces would pop out while you barely touched them and the end of the pizza! It bugs me so much that it doesn't connect. And for 15 dollars!! I love collecting and puzzles and I really really really wanted them to be good D:

[@DuluthTW]

I agree that not having a locking PIZZA tip is lazy/cheap puzzle making. Thanks for sharing!

[@syberchic2000]

I actually like the puzzle. Something I would like to do thank you for the video

[@a-little-sunshine]

Ooh I want the patterned one. They're all so beautiful. Pizza!

[@susanrobeno6739]

I just received one of the Areaware puzzles today (from eBay) but need to complete my current puzzle before attempting. I also enjoy pizza, which I haven’t had in a long time (certainly before quarantine). Thanks for this video.

[@hannahsdrawings8664]

seem like very fun puzzles ❤

[@gregsmith4847]

I did the Little Things Pretzel Puzzle, not PIZZA. I liked it but, yes expensive for the 15 minutes of puzzling. Thank you for your channel Karen, playing a lot of catch up on your videos as I am a very late comer to this enjoyable treat.

[@judifinnerancreatorofthebd7352]

Pizza - thanks and great video~

[@karenmaier477]

AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES!!!! OMG you are fast! It would take me days. LOL

[@rowboat8343]

I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you Karen! 💙💚 Feel like eating pizza now though lol.

Hey Karen I am a huge fan of yours you are one of my favourites❤️ if you would upload more regularly on your main channel it would be a great effort😀 as we really miss your quirky DIYs. Anyways love you a lot.💖

Really like that puzzle on the right of the three bigger ones! Black and grey textured type... Haven't seen it before, really cool 😊

[@DLRudder]

Those little puzzles look pretty cool. I think you were a little hard on them. Looks like the perfect thing to do while waiting at the auto mechanic.

[@platinumemeralds8079]

I would love to see you do a larger puzzle, maybe 1500 or more pieces? It would be super cool to get your tips and how you view the quality as the piece count goes up! Thanks!

[@KarenPuzzles]

The only problem with that is that I end up with SO MUCH footage the longer a puzzle takes me to do!

[@kreaturaes8223]

Have you seen her video- the secret to giant puzzles? Lots of tips 😊

[@platinumemeralds8079]

Kaylala B. Oops 😂! I still think that a giant puzzle would be pretty cool to see, even if it is just a time lapse!

[@kreaturaes8223]

@@platinumemeralds8079 I believe she has a 9000 piece ravensburger puzzle 😀 really fun to watch, just not sure if that's the right puzzle count 😊

[@donnaq2525]

My list of puzzle wants continues to grow!!! I must get an areaware pattern puzzle. Sad about the price though. Love this new one today. However, I would pass on the pizza puzzle and really most food puzzles. Thx for the video!

[@karimmibarra7778]

Love your channel and your puzzles, hope u can come to México someday...

[@darkgirl131313]

This pizza one could have definitely have been better but the pattern one looked cool.

[@carolmontague7106]

I knew you were going to use PIZZA as the word. I've mentioned earlier today on another video that I did a puzzle that had pieces that were not as thick. It IS annoying to say the least, but my puzzle was a 1000 piece puzzle! It was the North Rose Window at Notre Dame. The Ravensburger is the South Rose Window. What WAS fun about the cheap puzzle is that I'd discovered some easy ways to solve the puzzles having worked the Ravensburger first. I'll be keeping the good one, but not the cheap one.

[@jeffreymontague2939]

Pizza. I am going to try the pattern puzzles. I enjoy your video. Thank you

[@saranunes4151]

Might the tip coming off on the pizza be on purpose to be where someone takes a bite?

[@scottkramer7431]

Pizza. As of Jan 2024, A few of their puzzles on Amazon have Prime shipping, but most of them don't.

[@hungerycascio]

Man I love pizza. I'm going to have pizza in New York when I'm there next month. Pizza is life. Anyway. I'm finishing a puzzle tonight. And debating on starting another knowing that I will be leaving for a week on Saturday

[@barbieshatky5682]

💙❤️💙❤️💙 Pizza! 😃👍

[@worship_mix]

I would buy the cereal puzzle as a novelty and put it on my wall. Doesn’t the pizza puzzle make you want pizza?

[@sidmelucci3675]

Pizza. As you were reviewing the Little Yellow Cube Box puzzle, I thought you were being excessively harsh. I could see-and agree with-the negative aspects you pointed out; but they didn't seem so very awful. Then you quoted the price. FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!! If it had been $5, I would just have shrugged and said, "Well, whaddya want fer a finnif?" But for $15 for a 70-piece puzzle I sure as H*ll would expect equivalent quality to the patterned one!

[@carolinefry3275]

Pizza agree with you! I want to buy everything and try them, like the Areaware. Not the pizza one

[@tia283]

Question - do you count searching for a dropped puzzle piece in your total time doing the puzzle?

[@deborahkristensen9344]

I have started dreaming about puzzling!!! Yes, pizza!

[@kittykat1111111111]

I could go for some pizza actually. There's a pizza shop where I used to live where they made my fav topping. It was ground beef, onion, bacon and egg :d

[@samanthageiger5851]

[@terriemoulton1084]

Too bad about the end of the pizza it's such a cute little puzzle.

[@MichelleMyBelle2.0]

I want the PIZZA puzzle, because I'm obsessed with pizza. But I wish the front piece would lock into place!

[@icturner23]

It’s quaint how you assume that everyone has Amazon Prime! :-)

[@davidledelay7000]

Hello Karen combien de temps tu mets pour faire tes puzzle thank you

[@thefaelix]

i was hoping you might mention if the Little Puzzle Thing boxes are also of a nice size - 6 or 8 to a regular Pattern Puzzle box. oh well. The pizza one that you did was still cute, regardless.

[@KarenPuzzles]

I didn't realize they also stacked up to be the same size. Thanks for telling me!

[@icturner23]

I thought you might be being a bit harsh on the pizza puzzle but the tip not locking into the rest of it is ridiculous. Nevertheless, the food ones look like fun stocking fillers for children.

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

Great, now I want pizza ._.

[@tuhunerd]

Can you try the world's hardest jigsaw puzzle please it's level 10 difficulty
