MORE INFO (Please upvote) - I forgot to check Reddit while doing the research for the video, and a few people messaged me about their copies after I posted the teaser video. So we can start filling out the list- 1: Cathedral (Challenger Series) 18: Wildlife Portraits 19: The Wave of the Future 28: Santa Claus is Coming to Town I also got a message about one with the Nordevco puzzle “Numbers” but the sticker was pulled off the box. If any of you have found another one, I’d love to know which puzzle you got and what number it was!

[@RuthBhmand]

I strongly suspect your number is not 28 but 2.8 So series 2 random puzzle 8. (It makes sense to me as a math geek)

[@Hanaconda_Aquaponics]

​@@RuthBhmand I was thinking the same thing.

[@aartadventure]

Someone in your shorts video said they had one with ducks (maybe the wildlife portrait?)

[@greg.murphy]

That the first 5 puzzles are a single digit makes me think it's 28.

[@itslukemott]

I mentioned that in another comment, but I don't think yours is number 28,but that it's an old price tag for someone selling the puzzle for 2.8 $ The other numbers were in yellow circles and as others pointed out it looks more like "2.8" than 28. I have seen a lot of old prices indicated like that especially on self made / reselling price tags. So I would try looking under the sticker if there is another number hiding there

[@ynes6658]

It was probably also a good way for them to get rid of puzzles that didn't sell as much as they had hoped.

[@K775-v5r]

My thought was the same. They probably decided after Christmas was over they wanted to get rid of all their left over Christmas stock.

[@fugithegreat]

Doesn't everyone have a "mystery puzzle" in their house, where the box was completely destroyed but a ziploc bag of puzzle pieces still clings to life? Just my family?

[@KarenPuzzles]

Good point, I’ve definitely had a few of those over the years 😂

[@dhpbear2]

Those are my FAVORITE! (see above!)

I have just a regular plastic bag with pieces, maybe that's the sign I gotta get to it and remember what's in that puzzle!

I have mystery puzzle #19 at home! My husband and I bought it at a used book fair earlier this year, and we're in New Zealand so amazing that it was found across the world. It was unopened and still wrapped in plastic, we had a blast doing it. We had tried researching about it but couldn't find much online so he made a reddit post and some commenters had mentioned your name as someone who collected/may know a lot about old Nordevco puzzles. It was a cool full circle moment as the only reason I had looked at the puzzle section and purchased this one was because I had started watching your puzzle videos a few weeks prior and was inspired. And now to see one of these on your video is awesome too! I had intended to look into if I could send you the #19 puzzle but I just never got around to it, I would be happy to if you'd like it for a collection :)

[@seriliaykilel]

I freaking loved the tournament series but also excited to get back to regular programing! Thanks for another wonderful year of videos!! Happy holidays!

the coincidence that this puzzle was christmas themed is so funny 🤣 happy to have watched you all year, Karen, and i can’t wait for more next year! looking forward to the next giant puzzle 😉

[@oddgarrett2619]

The only thing I'm not clear about is whether Karen knew it was going to be Christmas themed before she opened it. 😆

[@protoman21]

I used to never look at the box while doing puzzles, but after watching all of your speed puzzling videos, looking at the box feels less like "cheating" to me, so I will reference the box now with no guilt!

[@Sandra.p.]

I started watching your videos a few months ago and started puzzling again after not having done it for years. And now my husband and I puzzle together for a couple of hours every night after dinner, mainly Jan Van Haasteren and a few Wasgij puzzles. It's my favorite time of the day and it's all because I started watching your video 😊 Merry Christmas 🎅 from Sweden!

[@marielaurence6999]

I once did a mystery puzzle "not on purpose"! I bought a brand new puzzle from the Eurographics vintage stamps series. When I opened it and started working on it with my sister, It took us about 5 to 10 minutes before we realized the stamps on the puzzle were not the same as the puzzle on the box! it was another puzzle from the series, clearly a packaging error. I count this as another type of mystery puzzle! 😂😂 Thank you for all the fun videos Karen, it's a pleasure to watch them. have a great holiday.

[@catouniverse]

I usually do my puzzles without looking at the reference image, so I would LOVE a mystery puzzle! I'm going to rope my mom into doing what you said and buying a puzzle and just giving me the bag and don't let me see the box until I'm done! It's such a great idea!

[@SD-ed8is]

There is a company in Germany that does mystery puzzels. So if you're in Europe you could probably also get those

[@lyn6768]

Just this week I have finally found&bought a puzzle that I've been searching for, FOR 20 YEARS!!! Good luck to everyone who has been searching for long lost puzzles; the hope is still out there! Merry Christmas everyone.

[@jandaddamio8624]

When my husband bought me puzzles, he would always hide the box and just give me the bag of pieces so I have done many puzzles this way. Good job on the World's videos!

[@theoneandonlymagnum]

Thank you for the professional quality worlds footage and the high quality videos you keep putting out! Happy holidays and a good new year without missing pieces! 😊

I definitely prefer to have an image. I only started puzzling because one of your videos randomly popped as a suggestion and you got me hooked, so I am very much a beginner. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your family.

[@MahrukhKhan-mw8gp]

wonderful video at the end of 2024. Karen, as a long term viewer from back in 2021 I started puzzling with my mom to bond with her during her chemo therapy days. You are the reason along with my mom why puzzles and doing them has a special place in my heart. Please stay safe and take good care of yourself Love M

[@janell1919]

Hi Karen. I've been a subscriber to your channel for only the past few months but have also watched a lot of your older videos when they show up on my KZbin recommendations. During covid lockdowns here in Australia, I started doing Wasgij puzzles having not done any jigsaws since my children were young over 50 years ago. You never know what Wasgij puzzles will be until you've done them and they are the only types of puzzles I ever do. I've done 80 since 2020 & have over 60 puzzles in my walk-in cupboard waiting to be done. I love not knowing what the puzzle will be and they are such funny & amusing puzzles. Love your channel especially the competition videos. I am definitely NOT a speed puzzler but I find it very relaxing and good for my brain stimulation so I try to do a couple of hours puzzling every afternoon. Looking forward to more videos from you after the holidays. 😍

[@highpath4776]

In the UK we had / have day and half day coach trips out, often from or to holiday destinations. They would be advertised on boards - eg in Central Devon one could go , depending on day of week to Minehead, Plymouth, Brixham, Padstow . There would also be "mystery tour" where the destination was not revealed until you arrived - normally at a place with a tea room and so on. One couple were on holiday for a week and decided to try the mystery tour - It went to Western-Super-Mare. the town they normally lived in !

What a great puzzle! In the Netherlands we have whats called "Wasgij" puzzles and they are a kind of mysterie puzzles. The image you puzzle is different then what you see on the box. I really love those. Happy Holidays.

[@KarenPuzzles]

I’ve done a few of those! I really like them too 😊

[@Sandra.p.]

I literally came here to talk about the wasgij puzzles, I like them to! 😊

[@captdaf]

I did a Mystery Wasgij puzzle (opera robbery) yesterday, great fun to have some references but also a bunch of differences. :)

[@hfsaid]

I have been doing these too, in Israel. They are a challenge!

[@mo-ellen]

Springbok offered a mystery puzzle option on their website around Christmas a few years ago. It just came as the bag of pieces, no puzzle box. It was one of the regular puzzles so I assume there was a variety of puzzles that got shipped out from it. It was really fun to do a puzzle with no knowledge of what the picture would be.

[@TheShadowlight85]

My sister gave me 2 thousand-piece puzzles as mystery puzzles for Christmas last year. She kept the packaging and put the bags with the pieces in a pretty box under the Christmas tree. I had a lot of fun with the puzzles!

[@Albedo12]

When I was a kid, we had a bunch of old wooden jigsaw puzzles that were no longer in their boxes, and most had no picture to work from. Several had been made by my uncle, using an actual jig-saw and art prints glued onto plywood. Lots of swirly interesting shapes in his designs, which unfortunately meant that some pieces were quite fragile and had got broken over the years.

[@Kate-oz2hf]

I got a mystery puzzle once for Christmas, and I really enjoyed it! The picture was a mystery, but it also had a built in mystery to solve using clues in the puzzle. It was my first time doing a puzzle without a reference, and I found it so satisfying!

[@Serenity_Dee]

7:51 Convex. I remember which is which because conCAVE means the curve makes a little CAVE. Otherwise I would have to think a lot more about it and make that same mistake anyway.

[@ChakChakGuy]

the most common mnemonic in German to remember this is based on words for basically naughty and nice that rhyme with convex and concave respectively. And the mnemonic then goes if the girl was nice her belly is going to be concave, and if she was naughty she'll get pregnant and her belly will be convex, and yes they did teach us that at school.

[@Tahgtahv]

That's the way I remember it as well.

[@michaelavictoria1]

Yeah I always remember that concave is "caved in" haha

I once worked in an office in which we would bring in jigsaw puzzles to work on during downtime - a few pieces before a meeting, while waiting for feedback, or after work. One time we had a bag of pieces with no box, so no image to reference. It was a Christmas puzzle with about a third of the pieces missing, but we solved what there was, enough to locate the full image online. Merry Christmas, Karen. 🎄

[@GailMcCormick]

I found an 80s mystery puzzle from Bits & Pieces at the thrift store. (The box just says "secrets" on it!) The image was not at all what I expected! 🤣

[@jenemica]

I find puzzling without looking at the box more relaxing. Well as long as the puzzle image is fairly simple 😊 we have a little puzzle club at work and we have had few mystery puzzles - someone has brought just the pieces. Those have been 500 piece puzzles with distinctive pictures and everyone has loved those! So I highly recommend trying that 😊

[@therealninjess]

My friend is a librarian and brought me a cute cat puzzle from their collection. As I sorted the pieces, it looked like human hair, not fur... And there was a lot of wicker and lace. And then I found the creepy doll eyes. It turned out it was Springbok's Dolls' Tea Party that had somehow ended up in the wrong box. I managed to get the border and some of the larger details assembled before I googled and found a picture of the cover, which I used to position the floating faces and figure out which lace pattern went with which doll. So I did ~50% as a complete mystery, and the rest looking at a miniscule, low-res pic on my phone.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Lovely to see you doing a nice relaxed puzzle! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@dhpbear2]

20:49 - I do the same thing with the puzzle-of-the-month *Completing the Puzzle* puzzles. I carefully pull out the bag of pieces and the return label, leaving the poster in the mailer, unseen.

[@alysemarie8313]

I am really happy that something inspired you to decorate for Christmas. It obviously made you happy. A Christmas image any othet time would have been disappointing.

[@mormornie]

Wooooo, surpise puzzle turning out to be a vintage Christmas illustration, and you getting to it near Christmas just because you were putting it off is such a nice coincidence! And it's so cute, too! I did a puzzle that had a colour gradient AND a bunch of textures all around, so I barely looked at the box other than to orientate the puzzle properly, and figure out which big feather goes where. Especially since the printed image was smaller than puzzle, of course, and I wouldn't be able to even see some of the finer details. Yet I have never done one fully without a box! Have a nice break, and happy holidays!😊

[@clairewilliams2978]

I love Karen's puzzles so much. I've been doing puzzles as a kid and now my daughter is loving them too. I would have to have competed back in the day but I don't think I would be a very good speed puzzler! Merry Christmas Karen enjoy your well deserved break 🎉

[@justinmaxwell4140]

I wonder how often mystery puzzles are/were used for overruns or puzzles they otherwise had left over or had been sent back. It would be an easy way to move stock they otherwise might be stuck with. Especially in this case as it looks like there was a date on the Christmas puzzle, so if it doesn’t sell in that year, you can take it back, and just put it into a cheap and easy to print mystery puzzle box and ship it back out. Would be a good way to manage their inventory.

[@jokedebock2747]

The longest time I worked on a puzzle was a “Wasgij” puzzle. The image on the box is not the image on the puzzle, so it is in fact a mystery puzzle. It was very satisfying to discover what the true image was.

My guess on IG was umbrellas. I haven't exactly done this type of mystery puzzle, but I did buy a thrift store puzzle and quickly realized it wasn't the image on the box. That was fun!

I loved the world puzzle competition series. However, I would be ok if you wanted to break them up further. You could even add a sitcom element to it. With "Previously on... " or "To be continued..." There was a moment between two of the competitions I thought you were going to do a "next time on...." That way, you can get more content & videos out of the world series. As it is so close to vlogmess time of year, you could add a vlogmess element to it. Enjoy your break!
