Uncovering a Jigsaw Puzzle CONSPIRACY

[@KarenPuzzles]

What did you think of my little investigation? Don't forget to check the description for links to all of the puzzles I talked about!

[@k.f.5436]

Good sleuthing skills! Your follow through on this was your own personal attempt to solving a puzzle that is the impetus for a new life experience.

[@applemauzel]

If you need the letter to be in chinese, we're always here to help~

[@Choam666]

That investigation was far beyond what I do. But that is why you are the expert flying around in SpaceShips. And the discovery was well worth the time. I'll keep a lookout at Estate Sales for the puzzles you mentioned. My wife and I enjoy nosing around at Estate Sales. Keep up the enthusiasm.

Nice detective work! Adrian Monk would be proud! P.s. Spaceship, and “It’s a jungle out there!”

[@awkward567]

I have a weird thing that I notice too - I used to be really into the Rubik's cube when I was a teenager. Now any time I see shirts, cartoons, etc. depicting a Rubik's cube, it bugs the HECK out of me if it's shown in a color combination that could not exist on the standard Rubik's cube. Such as green and blue edges touching, when in reality those colors are on opposite sides of the cube and could not physically intersect.

[@Banana_hamock]

This a year late but I have the answer! There are two color schemes. The japanese, blue touches green and the western, blue touches yellow!

[@JLvatron]

The original Rubiks pattern was Blue opposite White and Green opposite Yellow. The 1980’s bootleg cubes had Blue op Green and White op Yellow. Funnily, the new Rubik’s cubes follow the bootleg pattern!!

[@awkward567]

Karen you are probably the only person who would notice that and I love you for it!

[@karenkavett]

I hope the Illuminati don't come after me for uncovering such a huge secret 😳

LOL! What are they going to do to you- toss you into puzzle jail? Don't worry- they have to catch you first. LOL!

[@slatetab]

I wasn't into puzzles until I started watching your Chanel. Turns out when I was a kid I only came in contact with low quality puzzles and wrote them off as not fun to put together. Now that I've done an areaware beautiful puzzle I'm so hooked!!! Can't wait for canvas to be back in stock, I NEED it

[@readingpastbedtime]

4:40 Hearing you say “maybe someday” releasing your own puzzles as I look at both your puzzles on my shelf. 😄 You did, past Karen. You did. 🎉 👏

[@Novaximus]

10 years later...…She bought every single puzzle made with the same cut out. Plastered all over her walls are equations and polaroids with strings connecting new theories. Karen is huddled in the corner of her room as she finally cracks the code of how to mix all the pieces from each puzzle and decode the secret image which will answer the big question.…. and it's just a big picture of their company logo....I spent 10 years of my life!!!! for this?!!!!....no no no there must be another more deeper hidden message.... 10 more years go by.. A portal opens up …. little blue creatures appear..."Karen, you are the only human on the entire planet that has figured out our message. You and you alone will be spared of the things to come. They all disappear forgetting about the youtube live feed.

How exciting you are thinking about your own line of puzzles. You should definitely do it. You are so talented and I'm sure the puzzles will be spectacular.

[@flowergrowersmith449]

Jigsaw cutting dies are probably hideously expensive so they just hire time on them so they cut out THEIR particular design. Very good work. Great news about you doing your own. All your fans on here will buy em!

[@MSTARGAZER2]

I'm impressed at your memory! I wouldn't have been interested in the SPACESHIP puzzle, even with my fascination with space. But the information that the puzzle provided about the spaceships, etc., was fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

[@billsvillemike]

It's not that uncommon for one brand's puzzles to be manufactured by another entity. For example, French puzzle brand Nathan was printed by Ravensburger in the early - mid 1990s (years before Ravensburger ended up actually buying Nathan, which they continued, but with a drastically reduced product line). New Hampshire-based White Mountain puzzles are manufactured by a company in Holyoke, Mass., which also manufactures for other brands. The earliest Springbok puzzles from the mid-1960s were actually made by Waddingtons in England. More and more we are seeing small-press labels that don't actually have their own printing and pressing factories, just a vision for unique product line and packaging. Earlier this year, Russia's largest puzzle distributor, Stella, launched an eponymous art puzzle series licensed by the state Tretyakov Gallery, which is manufactured by a third party, probably Trefl. And the recent 4th edition of the "5000 Colours" puzzle (Clemens Habricht/Lamington Drive) is now being manufactured by Ravensburger. Eurographics puzzles are actually made in China. A small French brand, Grafika, is made in Poland and Turkey. So it's more common that you might think, but I'm not sure why they need to be so top-secret about it.

[@KarenPuzzles]

Wow, so much good info in this comment! I assumed that smaller companies like these would outsource their production, but this is the first time I've seen identical puzzle pieces from totally separate brands!

[@RamonaQ]

Spaceship. Not only was this interesting, it was helpful. I picked one up as a Father's Day gift, and had you not posted this, I'd never have thought to even look for such a thing, so thank you very much! If anyone ever lets you know where to find that typewriter puzzle, I hope you'll post an update, b/c.... WANT!!!

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

You solved a puzzle puzzle. 🛸🚀😉

[@KittyxKult]

Something of note I discovered while watching this: Areaware has a separate puzzle series called “Puzzle in Puzzle” that you may be interested in, where there is a larger puzzle and a smaller puzzle within it. I’d love to see you do these, not as cool as a spaceship but still cool!

[@auntiesash]

I find these kind of links fascinating. Puzzles with textures or patterns (like the stripes) are really fun. I love looking for that sort of detail. The cameras look too daunting, but I think the SPACESHIP would be a blast.

[@propnose]

I recently found your channel because we've been doing some puzzles since we've been in lock down. We've become addicted to them all of a sudden! It's been a long time since I've done a puzzle, but now I have ordered more than a few! Including the "SpaceShip" puzzle, since we are space nerds! Love your videos!

[@pierQRzt180]

Would be nice to see educational puzzles. The fact that one can combine any picture with a puzzle is really powerful, exactly because the puzzle "forces" the puzzler to look at the picture better, rather than just glancing on it. Therefore educational puzzles should be promoted more.

[@sarahpollard4739]

Watching this video now the day after you announced your own line of Ravensburger puzzles. Crazy you have been looking into making your own puzzles this long!

[@katarinawiberg9889]

Loved this episode! These kinds of puzzle nerdiness are just my cup of tea!

[@gregsmith4847]

Hahaha. Watching after the Patreon prompt in 2023. Thinking about making your own design of puzzle. Love it, that you had that plan from way back then. I now own the KarenPuzzles Puzzle.

[@brettallenthomas]

spaceship... tighten your tinfoil hat batman.. its a puzzling conspiracy...

[@jcortese3300]

I've seen artwork done by people who buy two clone puzzles and sort of combine them in a way that looks interesting. It looks really fun.

[@christinenalle8810]

Spaceship! Thank you for being here. I am a White-haired Little old Lady and I love the look of the Space Travel puzzle. I hadn’t thought about puzzels for eons. I am going to start one this week. I can’t wait. I had forgotten I had ever done puzzels but my-oh-my there were a lot of them in my Fibber McBee’s Closet ! ....some still plastic wrapped! LOL Thank you again. Binge watch coming right up....

[@sarahraymer574]

Loved your Spaceship puzzle video! Its also so fun hearing all the back story of each puzzle and puzzle designer and manufacturer! I'll keep my eyes pealed for a typewriter or bicycle puzzle for you!

[@jenherrington9992]

Space ship. You had me at NASA then lost me but I perceived and gladly watched the entire video. The camera puzzle was Interesting but this Grassroots isn't ready for that level yet.

[@random-code1]

Oh my god! The most exciting of your videos I watched so far! Thanks for sharing this! 😍😍😍

[@thepuppygoesup]

I've seen that puzzle in my local bookstore! I eould be so so excited if you made your own puzzle 😍😍😍😍 I have a collection of about 30-40 right now and would love to ecpand it

[@KarenPuzzles]

I hope it happens soon too!

[@alkiq00]

Spaceship! I remember the video with the camera puzzle, and loved it. If you get the typewriter or bicycle puzzle, I’d love to see it!

[@jenmckitrick]

I enjoyed your review of the spaceship puzzle.

[@jsapcakrrow]

Spaceship..That was a really cool puzzle & I really like the large poster that came with it, very nice! Hopefully someone has those 2 puzzles you are looking for & willing to sell them/give them to you. Good luck!

[@pete5668]

Thank you Karen for telling such an interesting story about a spaceship puzzle.

[@WanderLost]

Spaceship!! Also, would love to see some puzzles you design!

[@faithgermany]

It's April 2021 and this puzzle is available on Amazon as the "English version" brought out in 2018.

[@briangonigal3974]

Honestly? the only thing that surprises me about this "conspiracy" is that the practice is apparently uncommon enough that it took a lifelong jigsaw puzzle enthusiast like you this long before you came across a puzzle whose cut pattern you recognized from a previous puzzle. I had just assumed that anyone who regularly does different puzzles from the same manufacturer would eventually stumble across a puzzle with an identical cut pattern to one they'd done before. For this to be the first time you've noticed this, puzzle cut patterns must actually be a lot more unique than I'd expected. Also, I immediately went to Amazon & ordered that space flight puzzle when I saw it was still available. My interest in actual jigsaw puzzles is moderate, but the subject of that poster is definitely my jam.

[@bettyhonold2842]

These are great puzzles. I’d buy them if available! Spaceship one would be great for my grandsons!

[@camfan54lisa]

Rewatching old videos (again 😏) and added the Spaceship one to my list again! Don't know why it was removed. I live near Nasa and love the feel of the puzzle!

[@jd-zr3vk]

I remember this as the leading news story that year.

I love your videos Karen. I am 72=years old and have restarted doing jigsaws, the first since my children were young so not done one for at least +30 years. Spaceship.

[@melissalemmons549]

I have a pretty long list of PopChart Lab posters that I want to buy. Being able to buy them as puzzle versions and get the poster at the same time would be the best thing ever.

[@jerrysstories711]

1:51 Does that musical effect have a name? It's one of those things you hear your whole life but never know it's name or origin.

[@RamonaQ]

And this is how your own puzzle line begins.... And you said it as I was typing that. lol Good luck! Look forward to what you make!

[@KarenPuzzles]

were you reading my mind?...omg another conspiracy uncovered

[@gwenteggi23]

I hope someone sends you the two puzzles you are looking for. I love the 'spaceship' jigsaw btw

[@catsgallery3864]

Questions. Have you tried wooden puzzles? There’s a store in Boulder, Colorado that sells them. They’re gorgeous and pricey.

[@KarenPuzzles]

I just did one for the first time recently. It was so satisfying to put together!

[@shake6474]

9:47 that was painful

[@kathleenwiegard360]

I would love to do a puzzle that you designed. Spaceship

[@tyronbarnett]

SPACESHIP. Thankyou for answering a long asked question, do companies just use the same plan for multiple puzzles? I've only noticed it on cheap ones which i don't do anymore. You have a great eye for the more bespoke manufacturers. Also, you know about "my ravensburg "right ??????? I just found out, beyond excited about creating one. Your my puzzle guru, cant wait to see you 1st original puzzle.

[@JasperJanssen]

The cutting knives they put together (basically the entire grid worth of knives on a single large plate, for these not huge puzzles) are really big and expensive investments, so, yeah, they’ll use those things until they wear out. Whether that’s halfway through producing one puzzle or thirty different puzzles later varies.

[@CraftyPrapty]

Wow 😮

[@laurieluxenburg4754]

Spaceship! I would love to find the bicycle one, I not thrilled to hear the puzzles are cut the same.

That would be awesome if you could partner with one of the companies to make your own puzzles. Have you tried any of the custom photo options? I just had one made through Walmart and it turned out pretty good.

The artwork looks very good; but I prefer less area of the same colour. Perhaps we all do. I agree with you about the uniformity of the pieces; I term them “horizontal” and “ vertical “ . If I had to choose one of those four , I would go for Meta Puzzle. I have a spare room in my house, so that I can always leave a puzzle in work on a five foot by three foot table. Often, my friend joins me for an hour, or so, and we can puzzle and talk. I prefer ‘busy” bright , interesting scenes , I have never , in all my years , seen people doing a jigsaw puzzle at a wedding Party. Thanks for that review.
