Doing the Color Changing Jigsaw Puzzle (aka the hardest puzzle I've ever done)

[@KarenPuzzles]

Do you think you would ever attempt a color-changing puzzle like this? Or if you have done it, did you have any other strategies you used? I'd love to know!

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

If *you* already struggle, I'm gonna pass on this one 😅 I'm not about frustrating myself more than necessary

[@NA-ec5th]

I'm sure I could do it in like 5 hours

[@NA-ec5th]

I have an idea of a puzzle you could do

[@MrBelm]

I started this one a while ago when I first started puzzling. Now that I have a few dozen under my belt I’lll be returning to it in the spring when there’s more daylight. I stopped with about 20 percent done, but it’s not magically going to complete itself.

[@mattball420]

Id definately give it a try, i havent done a puzzle in years and dont even own one atm so it would probably take me forever lol i am thinking of getting one of the krypt puzzles to start with tho😂 they just look so goood

[@helloitsmealeks7958]

When I was 6 or 7 I had this ciderella metalic puzzle and to this day I remember how hard it was because of the metalic effect. (It hurts to look at it) This puzzle you did just sounds like a nightmare... I respect your strength.

plus it was $89 that's a hard pill to swallow

[@chelseataylor5244]

Let me preface this by saying I suck at jigsaw puzzles, I don’t think in my 30+ years I have ever actually completed one. I got recommended another one of your videos and thought how boring, who would want to watch someone do a puzzle. I have now watched like 6 in a row. Thank goodness I wasn’t completely foolishly cynical and watched that first video because I am loving your channel!

[@sigrid1733]

I think I'll stick to puzzles that don't change colour, but I loved this video! You are like a puzzling wizard, Karen! This was "magic"al.

[@latoniasprings]

If it took you 3 days, it would probably take me a month! So unless I had a "magic" wand to wave and complete it, I think I will pass. But it really does look beautiful!

[@PeggyV69]

You should frame that puzzle, its too pretty to put back into the box. There is no way I would ever try a puzzle like that. I would need a magic wand to make it work. :)

[@judicrothers2542]

Karen, you're very brave attempting the colour change puzzle, I wouldn't even know where to begin! Keep well & safe during this pandemic. Love Judi x

[@judicrothers2542]

Oops! forgot to say that it's MAGIC 😎

[@KarenPuzzles]

Hope you're staying safe too!

[@shawpaperiekas600]

I’m only at the beginning, but I’d be tempted to just turn the puzzle over and just go by shapes. Edit: lol, guess that wouldn’t have worked. 😂

[@KarenPuzzles]

haha, that wouldn't really work for this puzzle.

[@csicee]

Karen Puzzles how come?

[@kawaiimary8397]

Jeremy MCSSJ • 69 years ago - edited I think it’s cause the pieces are all so uniform in shape??

[@jenellemadrigal2424]

at 5:43 she says “she thought she had a piece in the right place but it turned out to be wrong” bc the shapes of the pieces are uniform

[@tvmom]

The website has this puzzle available, with defects that are very specifically described, for $30 and free shipping. I ordered one today.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Woo! Got my puzzle in the mail today and it's even more beautiful in person. Thanks for your in-depth review, Karen:)

[@Seetiyan]

Wow, this puzzle is gorgeous. It's like . . . magic. I"m feeling half-mesmerized just watching this video, so it must have been so much more pretty as you put it together. I see what you mean by being useful as a piece of home decor. I'm picturing it hanging from my wall. But so expensive, yikes!

[@pepe94ish]

After completing it, write a number on the back of each piece to allow you re-complete it later. Now strategically swap pieces - maybe symetrically, or creating some kind of drawing you like. Now you have a customisable kaleidoscope!

[@fryingpan552]

The initial concept behind this made me think that I wouldn't like it, but your review actually made me reconsider

[@jelissab]

Magic. Definately getting this one! Since watching you my puzzle experience has broaden to puzzles i would never think of doing so thank you

[@catsav1]

Even when you find the right spot for a piece, it looks like they don’t want to go together...

[@jodimerusi3250]

Hi Karen, just discovered you yesterday. I don't think I would do a puzzle that changes color but I do enjoy a series of puzzles called "World's Smallest 1000 Piece Puzzle" Finished dimensions are 16.54" X 11.7" with 1000 pieces. I have to use tweezers to pick up the pieces!! The designs are illustrations by Bonnie White (style similar to Charles Wysocki - highly detailed landscapes) These take a little longer, maybe not for you, but it's because the pieces are so tiny. I'm getting ready to do my third one. Glad I found your site!

[@rosannepalmieri5351]

Karen you amaze me. You are one smart cookie. Your presentation and video shots are just "magic". Very, very professional. I find myself looking forward to your videos not only for the puzzles themselves but also for your camera work. Very well done. 👍👍

Wow. I've been so intrigued by this puzzle. The video was perfect! Lots of detail and strategy. Even when you were tired or frustrated, you still capture the pleasure of the project. Such a great application of the magical colors!!!

Magic! That is how your videos connect with my brain 🧠. I am Obsessive Compulsive about many things. I have always loved math and numbers. I had an awesome teacher (Mrs. Kutner) for 3rd and 5th grade who really drilled us with math problems, number exercises. I love solving the Rubik's Cube (my best time is 18.75 seconds). Your puzzle videos connect with me somehow, and provide a tranquil exciting platform for my brain! Lol. Thank you for providing this peaceful escape from the sometimes harsh reality of our everyday lives.

[@alyssastevenson9879]

I found this puzzle in an op shop and it was truly the most bizarre puzzle I've done. The strangest thing is that KZbin recommended your channel about a week after I had finished and then I found this video. I employed the rocking strategy and edges first, but left the pieces in the box and worked on the pink/blue section first. The directionality of the pattern was definitely so important in the completion. Glad you also had as much fun as I did!!

Imagine giving it to a color blind person

[@Isaggi25]

Norah I'm color blind and was thinking how painful it would be to try this!

[@stellasdoesstuff]

I'm actually wondering if that would be easier for them because from one angle they might not be able to tell whether a piece is red or green, but from another angle they'd know that the piece is blue, so it would allow them to place the pieces which would normally be trickier colors for them

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Magic, it’s just magic to watch you doing this puzzle. Thanks for sharing this with me. Much appreciated 🙂🐿🧩 P.s if one was so inclined, turning one or two of these puzzle pieces into a badge/button would be pretty cool and a definite conversation starter (for sure). I just don’t think that I could bring myself to do it to this puzzle, to any puzzle really. There’s something about a puzzle staying whole. It’s a similar feeling that I have about books 📚. I can’t deface books. I get really uncomfortable when I see TV craft shows using old hardback books to make lamps or other decorative items involving hot glue. Don’t get me wrong, I love the effects created by folding and gluing book pages etc, but I also find it kind of distressing to witness - like I said it’s the same feelings with puzzles. I’m very conflicted 😐🐿. Thanks again for sharing your videos with me. I’m taking ALL your advice and tips and I’m going out this weekend to purchase my first puzzle. Wish me luck 🍀🧩🐿

[@erinpeterson3202]

im generally into rubiks cubes, but the youtube recommendations brought me here. i thought people would be interested to know that theres a brand that makes cubes with this same color changing finish :) im not sure which is harder, the cube or the jigsaw puzzle!! i think i would have a harder time with the jigsaw personally, i already have strategies to solve cubes, jigsaws are a whole new world for me

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

SO i asked for puzzles for christmas and have been doing the easiest one, and i realize that this puzzle would be exactly what i’d love to do! i love looking for piece shapes, moving while i do my puzzle (i use it as time to stretch and stuff, cuz i do mine on the floor on a cardboard box). i will definitely buy this once i get thru at least one more puzzle.

Hey Karen, you might not see this but if you do I want you to know that you have inspired me to do more puzzles and you are just amazing. I just finished my first 1000 piece puzzle yesterday I spent all day on it so thank you

[@KarenPuzzles]

That's amazing! Congrats on finishing it!

[@angienuelle]

I've been obsessed with your content for the past few days, so I just wanted to say hi! One of your videos had randomly popped up in my home feed, so I was curious if you had a video about hanging puzzles, since I have four that I bought last year with the intent of hanging on my wall, and you did! It was exactly what I was looking for, since actual framing is expensive, and I wanted to be able to take them back down if I wanted. So also, thank you for that! And the very last puzzle I did waaaay back in like...2009? was similar to this. It wasn't a gradient, but a bunch of tree frogs, and the frogs would move as you changed the angle. I did it with my boyfriend at the time and it was pretty frustrating, but satisfying to finish it. Definitely easier than this one, since we at least had the individual frogs to focus on. But this puzzle is absolutely gorgeous.

Hi there Karen. I'm sure I will never work this puzzle, just not my kind of puzzle. I just finished a Buffalo brand photomosaic Starry Night 1000 piece puzzle that was so hard. I've done photomosaic puzzles before but this one was burn in the fireplace hard. I really had to use every strategy in my arsenal to finish it. I glued it together, framed it and hung it. It really was not that enjoyable but now that it's done I do like it. Happy Puzzling!!

Hi Karen. I am from Australia and I love your videos. I have always loved doing puzzles since I was little. My favourite ones to do are the Ravensburger puzzles. They are the best and I like to sort the pieces by shape like you do. I have a bunch of 1000 piece Disney ones up in my cupboard and a few 500 piece ones too and also a 1500 piece one. I have tried a few times to complete a 2000 piece puzzle but I have not been able too yet. I am going too keep on trying. I❤️🧩

An amazing review, thank you! I've only started puzzling recently, having received one as a gift for Christmas. The last one I put together was when I was a child, so many years lost without a puzzle! Although this looks expert-level, I think it would look like magic hanging on a wall to show my re-found love of puzzles.

[@amberfrost1521]

This puzzle looks so cool but that would give me a headache, maybe when I'm older I'll attempt it but right now is still have 13 puzzles that I got for christmas (I've only done 3 so far so 16 I got altogether) that I still have to do. One of the puzzles that I got was one that I have wanted for 3 years, it's a ravensburger puzzle called 'The artist's desk' I was so happy when I got it. Keep making your videos, they are really entertaining and its nice to see other people that love puzzles as much as I do, I actually came across your channel when I was searching up people putting jigsaw puzzles together and I've loved your channel ever since, your videos introduced me to other brands such as cloudberries which i now have 6 puzzles from (Origami, Canvas, Gradient, Mountain, Pixels (my favourite) and poolside and I hope to get geometry and symmetry soon (hopefully for my birthday in a few months)
