From Fear to Fun: Tackling a Halloween Liberty Puzzle Set

[@crazypuzzlechick]

I love my Liberty Puzzle, especially the smell of the wood. I'm also a campfire smell fanatic, so it fits. I went to the store in Boulder, and they were soooo nice. Of course my champagne taste was attracted to their most expensive puzzle at the time. If the frames didn't cost almost as much as the puzzle itself, I'd order one of those too.

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Oh yes, I love a good campfire scent! I'm currently working on my backyard and setting up a firepit area so I can get some good wood burning smells in the air 😂Oh wow, I'd love to also check out their store. LOL you're not alone, the set I want is like $170. I guess if you end up spending too much on a puzzle set, then you might as well go all the way and pick up the frame too 🤣💸💸

Hi Mandy, great video and Liberty is a prime product, beautiful whimsies and fantastic designs. Very expensive to buy for us here in Oz but we do have a couple. Thanks for posting Mandy and as always happy puzzling👍😎😃

[@thepuzzledmandy]

I totally agree! Such an amazing product. They are very expensive in the US, so I can imagine how much more expensive they are where you live.

[@Addicted2Puzzles]

This liberty puzzle is adorable! I’ve never actually done a Liberty puzzle but I’ve heard they’re amazing! I love the whimsies! 🧩🧩😍

[@thepuzzledmandy]

I think you'd love it! The whimsies really are cute, and it always amazed me how it all pieced together. I think I'm now officially a big wooden puzzle fan 😁

[@Addicted2Puzzles]

@thepuzzledmandy It only takes one amazing puzzle to become a fan! For me, it was last year when I did my first Artifacts puzzle. They're another great wooden puzzle company with strange piece shapes and cool whimsies!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

@@Addicted2Puzzles I'll definitely check out Artifacts puzzles.

[@JTgreentalk]

I’m a recent liberty convert. Adore these.

[@thepuzzledmandy]

They are such wonderful puzzles! I must add another to my collections.

[@RicPuzzles]

Greetings Mandy. This is a beautiful puzzle and definitely not a temu quality thats for sure! Ah the interlocking here - fantastic! Lovely video as always. 👏👏

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Thanks Ric! Yes, this was certainly on another level. It was very satisfying to put together.

[@puzzlesbypam2442]

Crud now I need to put Liberty on my list. I did a Wentworth one recently and it was the best quality-amazing!!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

😂sorry lol! I’m planning to try my first Wentworth soon and seeing how it compares to Liberty. I can’t wait!

[@TinkeringJohn]

I’ve always wanted to do a wood puzzle mainly because of the pieces cut into objects. I never bought one because they are so expensive. Then I recently saw an ad for Quordle puzzles. They are going out of business and have reduced their prices significantly. I have about a dozen of them. They come in 3 piece count sizes and I always order the ones with the most pieces. Some of the pieces are intricate making them delicate and I have ran across a couple broken pieces, but was able to glue them back together. I believe they broke when the puzzle was taken apart to be boxed up.

[@thepuzzledmandy]

In the beginning, I didn't know anything about wooden puzzles and how some of them have such crazy piece shapes. But yes, they do tend to be quite expensive. I've never heard of Quordle before, but it was smart of you to take advantage of those sales.

[@stacyssassystyles]

Those pieces are stunning!!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

They are! I'm going to have to pick up another set at some point. 💸

[@lourdestroche556]

I love Liberty Puzzles, yes they are expensive, so I do save my pennies to buy two or three a year. Wentworth is good too, like their selection of images. Artifact Puzzles is another wood puzzle brand that has great images. But Liberty has the best whimsies and fit.

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Two or three Liberty Puzzles a year is great! I absolutely feel they are worth it. I can't wait to try the Wentworth puzzle that I have here. I've never heard of Artifact Puzzles, I'll be looking them up. Thank you!

[@simplydee4522]

Wow, what a fun challenge. Very interesting how the images on the puzzle appeared. Good job🧩😊

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Thank you 🤗 This was so much fun to put together. I only wish it lasted a bit longer lol.

[@jassminhope4723]

Never tryed libity puzzle but i would li Love to try

[@thepuzzledmandy]

They are fantastic! But if you're new to wooden puzzles, I would recommend making sure you try a cheaper wooden puzzle set before going all out on an expensive set. Just to make sure you will enjoy it.

[@user-gt2fy8iu1o]

Good job Mandy with those odd-shaped pieces. Love the image!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Thank you, I felt very accomplished piecing this one together so quickly! This was so much fun.

[@donnapalmer1727]

I have other wood puzzles that are the same as Temu!! I’m so wanting to get a Liberty puzzle and I will soon!!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

I would definitely save money to splurge on a Liberty set. The pieces are so cute and so much fun. I did enjoy my Temu sets, but this is on another level.

[@chaosscoot928]

I love StumpCraft and Wentworth mini mindful puzzles

[@thepuzzledmandy]

I just looked up StumpCraft as I've never heard of them...Oh MY! They are beautiful! Does the color print on the pieces look as rich as what I'm seeing on the website? Thank you for telling me about this brand 🤩

[@chaosscoot928]

@@thepuzzledmandy yes, they are gorgeous and the fit is great. BTW your video tipped the scales for me and my Halloween Liberty puzzle arrived in three days. -Lauren. @laurenspuzzles (Chaos and Scoot are my cats)

@@chaosscoot928 Awesome!

[@pannalover326]

Wow, pricey is right, but I love that image. Must resist the urge, lol. Ravensburger does customs! I did a puzzle of my cat laying on a puzzle box, coincidentally a Ravensburger box, while the puzzle was in progress, lol. It was easy, just pick a piece count and upload a picture. I was so happy with how it turned out. Now I don't feel so bad paying a bit more for that one after seeing Liberty's prices, lol. The fact that the one you did held together so well really tempts me.

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Yes pricey, but I think it's worth it, and I think this may be the first time I've said that with a pricey puzzle. I would definitely save up and buy a Liberty.💸🧩 Your custom set sounds so cool! I really need to try making a custom puzzle.

[@erniesulovic4734]

Those pieces so so weird and different. Never seen anything like it before. Interesting how they all came together to make a complete puzzle. Really cool :-)

[@thepuzzledmandy]

My thoughts exactly. I felt so accomplished as the image was coming together. This was too much fun.

[@erniesulovic4734]

Thank you... I have been waiting for this video... for you to compare the Temu puzzles at approximately $10.00 each to the more expensive Liberty ones .That particular one is $65.00 I enjoy the Temu ones.. and after your review I know I would absolutely love love love the Liberty ones...The tighter fit looks awesome, I am the one who sent you the temu ones.. glad you enjoyed and had them to compare.... alas on my budget I have to stick with the Temu ones...wouldn't it be awesome to be able to thrift a Liberty one!!! I pray the Halloween Gods are with you on your Haunted Mansion ... May the Booooooo be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thepuzzledmandy]

Finding a Liberty at a thrift store would be like striking gold! Such an amazing experience, and the images are fantastic. I'm seriously a wooden puzzle fan now, and the Temu's started it all for me. Thank you again for those sets, I love them. I only managed to get about 2 hours into Haunted Mansion today after work. I wish I could've gone on longer, but I lost the natural light, then all the pieces became impossible to see. 😔

[@kathylynn1375]

@@thepuzzledmandy Ric did a short of a Halloween Temu puzzle, so of course I had to go see what they had to offer, I ordered ...Ghost House.. I feel the same as you for the wooden puzzles, they are fun, maybe one day I can justify paying that much for a puzzle.... or like you said strike gold!! I started on Pete's Gambling Hall today.. did my best to time myself but kept getting interrupted.... I thought you or Ric were going to announce it on your channels.. I have only saw the announcement on his community page.... hope your week is a good one....

[@thepuzzledmandy]

@@kathylynn1375 The Temu sets you sent me started my interest and love for wooden puzzles, they are great. Liberty is definitely one to try if you are a wooden puzzle fan, but yea you gotta save up those pennies! I finally finished my nightmare puzzle, so now I'm considering a mental break or moving right along to the next puzzle, a more fun and colorful one of course 😂 Might finally jump into Pete's Gambling Hall, just got to make sure I stay on top of my timer, I've never used one while puzzling before. In regard to announcements, this first time around we are starting out small to try it out and see how it goes. Honestly, we are not well versed at how to go about organizing these kinds of things so it's something we're trying out.

[@kathylynn1375]

@@thepuzzledmandy Wonderful for getting that thing done... be proud of yourself. you stuck it out..... yea me time is gonna be sorta accurate for Pete's gambling Hall... I keep forgetting to resume the timer....I dont sit very long at one time.... I don't know, maybe just have people state their times and a quick review of the puzzle.. I know it would be hard coming up with new ideas every week.... Hope you get to take advantage of some Prime sales... I ordered two Dowdles... hope you have a great week and find time for yourself,....enjoy

@@kathylynn1375 Honestly, I couldn't find anything worth buying for Prime Day 🤔 I feel like some of the sales weren't that great. But maybe that was a good thing for my wallet 😆
