You have inspired me to buy and complete my first ever "real" puzzle, which was the silver Krypt. It took about 25 hours over 5 days but it was an incredible experience! So incredible that I ordered the black one too and am currently awaiting delivery. Let's see how long my sanity will hold together. You are amazingly inspirational when it comes to puzzles and your videos are very entertaining! Thank you! Update: The black one is done! It took half as long and I ordered another silver and the gold version. They are going to look beautiful on the wall over the couch!

[@pinkrose5796]

Thanks for letting me know how long it took you to do the puzzle!!! I really appreciate it as I have a few projects that I need to work on. I'll try this one ( got the gold) after December:)

[@augustocarraro3315]

Which one do you think is the most difficult/entertaining?

[@smurfjimpan]

The most difficult Krypt will most likely be the first one you do, regardless of color since you have to establish your own system of sorting and learn to look at the shapes of the pieces as a beginner of sorts. The most fun or entertaining for me is the Silver one, which I also think is the hardest one after establishing such system since many of the spiral pieces are shaped just like regular ones so they are often lost in the "wrong" pile during sorting. The silver one has such unique and interesting pieces, I just love it! Now, I can't speak for everyone about which is best or most fun so you'll just have to find out for yourself which is best for you. With that, I wish you luck!

Kuddos for finishing them all, the black one was my first puzzle since i had stopped doing some when i was a child !

My wife and I just finished this while we were doing the whole quarantine thing. Pretty good puzzle, first time I've done one in probably 15 years, maybe we'll even get the silver and black for the next apocalypse. My mom got this puzzle for me probably 20 years ago though, and ours didn't come with an answer key. I took the same approach you did separating the pieces by types of "nodes," whether they were part of the spiral or squares, and finally by the direction of the cross hatching texture on the pieces.

NYC MAMAOFONE First off you buy puzzle glue which isn’t that hard to find and it’s usually like $4 then you just spread it across the puzzle with some sort of disposable plastic card and let it dry, then you buy a frame from Walmart for it for cheap but you have to make sure it’s at least 2 inches wider on both sides bc if not it’ll be too small and the puzzle won’t fit and then once you have the frame and the puzzle is done drying you glue it to the cardboard that came with the frame and then just frame it👍🏻

Silver I did the silver and the golden one a couple of years ago and I really liked them. Normally I feel like you about jigsaw puzzles with big areas of all the same colour. I hate them and normally try to avoid this kind of puzzle. But the Crypt ones I actually liked very much. I can‘t even tell exactly why, but I had a lot of fun putting them together. By the way, the two Crypt puzzles are some of the few jigsaw puzzles, that I ever put in a picture frame and hung them up to my wall. And they‘re still there in their frames. At the moment I think about getting the black one, so I could have the collection complete.

I did the pink one years ago :) I think one thing that Karen missed is that the pieces are slightly textured and you can actually deduce the orientation of the pieces from the way the pattern of this texture runs without ever having to resort to the cheat sheet.

The original Krypt series is from ~1997. The cuts are the same, but the colors of those older ones are blue (silver cut) and pink (black cut). There's also a reprint version of the blue/silver cut with an image, but that makes it just marginally easier as the image shows spirals spiraling inwards, following the cut. The point you make in the end is where it clicked for me woth this one: You have to let go of the habit to match colors and completely focus on the shape. Once that switch flips, it gets a lot easier. The sealed envelope is a remnant of that original issue, as those boxes don't show the entire puzzle and those envelopes have a big warning on them that they contain the solution.

[@DBacksFan2010]

I love trying to challenge myself with hard puzzles. Sometimes I'll do an "easier" puzzle in a unique way (i.e. without doing any of the edge pieces until the very end, or starting at one corner and building out, etc.) and sometimes I'll buy a puzzle like this just because it's supposed to be super difficult. The best/hardest puzzle I've ever done was the Rebbit New York City 3-D puzzle from many years ago. I've never done this one, and I don't think I'd pick the SILVER one for myself, but I would enjoy trying the black or gold ones, I think. Thanks for the video!

[@TheGamingEevee8]

I started mine today which was sitting in my cupboard along with a gradient puzzle for a few years as I got them as gifts but they looked tough

[@Coreyly]

I have both the silver and gold one. I received them as gifts. I started with the silver one thinking that I wouldn't open the envelope but after about 100 pc, I caved. I had the same thought with the gold one but caved on that one too. Even using the answer key, I find it so satisfying when the last piece goes in. Now I want to do the black one. Crazy right?

Hats off to you Karen. I’m having enough trouble with Matisse “Purple Robe and Anemone” Lol I won’t be doing krypt soon. Silver

I did this puzzle It was so much fun!!! It took me with a little help from my family (Very Little- ugh!) about a week to do on and off ;) I recently finished the Disney Pixar double sided UP puzzle of Carl and Ellie in about 3 days. I have a star trek one that is 5000 pieces I need to get started too

[@Saralina418]

You taking it apart at the end was so satisfying to watch!

🤯Karen, I name my piece shapes. The last kind you put in I call Tigger pieces because they look like Tigger bouncing on his tail. There are X pieces, people pieces, plus + pieces, 🤩

[@thewhovianwithasmallcollec7319]

i call the one with 1 bump 3 notches i call mimi human cause put the notch faceing up it looks like a human

[@ADE1000SON]

@@thewhovianwithasmallcollec7319 Yeah, I do the same here in Brazil. I call it "homenzinho", meaning "little man"!!

[@thewhovianwithasmallcollec7319]

@@ADE1000SON cool at least im not the only one who sees it

[@msmarlylew7143]

I name mine, too. The X pieces = "pinwheels", the ones with one male knob at the top and two female knobs on the sides = "ladies", one female knob at the top and two male knobs on the sides = "Fionas", the reverse of those = "Shreks," the long pieces = "tall mans", the really wide pieces = "fat boys". There's also the ones that look like a H = "dumbbells" and the anything with a fat knob on them = "running mans".

[@mgd6087]

The people ones I call skinny neck, fat neck, shrugged shoulders, pointy feet etc.

I got he gradient one, really lovely design and fun to do!

I still come back to this video once in a while. Can't believe it's been 4 years since this came out! So funny to think how many more solid colored puzzles you would go on to do later, since you disliked doing this one so much 😂

I have done both the black one and the gold one, over the course of multiple days, just for a fun thing to do on the side. I am a 'cheater' (we copied the answer key, so we could use the copy to fill in the pieces we layed in, really recommended if you're just doing it for fun), but I really enjoyed the puzzle both times that way! Even with 'cheating', I've really enjoyed the experience of puzzling like this. It was really fun to only have the shapes to focus on. Because they all have different shapes it's really fun to sort them by shape (not just the 4 standard shapes)! :D And all 3 Krypt puzzles are cut out differently, so they are different enough to enjoy both. If I remember correctly it was the black one I had more fun with, the gold one had more little pieces that were all similar. Never did the silver one, though!

[@iheartsnape]

I just started doing the black krypt puzzle. I got the black one for purely practical reasons (my table is light and I didn't like the gold color), but I think the black one might have a way trickier pattern, such that sorting out the circle-y and normal looking pieces doesn't really work. I'm not even going to make my life more difficult: I'm going to use the guide and like you said, it's a great activity for when I"m listening to my audiobook. It's so funny that after binge watching your channel for a few days and learning way more about jigsaw puzzles in general, and your preference for the type of puzzles in particular, this was the only one I was inspired to get lol (I also started playing I love hue and that's super fun too). I guess I'm a tedious puzzle kind of gal~

[@rc31802]

I only recently discovered your channel and am loving it! Thank you for showcasing this silver puzzle and showing that I don't want to do it :)

[@sanja7142]

I got a Krypt Black puzzle with 736 pieces as a gift. I really am not trying to be a puzzler but i do agree that it was much more fun at the beginning of it. the big pieces seemed always easy to figure out where they go. Currently need to start sorting and figuring out the smaller pieces. Working on it 3 days already (~2h each day) I am considering if i want to complete the collection of Krypt puzzles xD or just frame this very black puzzle next to a very very colorful one

[@Alicia-lq3tv]

Bought this after I watched your review. It’s awesome! Definitely worth it

[@JubJubBirdProduction]

I just got that one out of the basement from my mother's, who never finished it. The box I have looks so different, I'm prett sure that's the first itteration of this puzzle there was. Gonna attempt that one now.

[@Artsyfandom]

Would you try the gradient krypt? I’m doing it atm and love it. It’d be interesting to see what you’d think of it 🙂

[@DragonFinlay]

This video was amazing to watch. I own the black Krypt myself and have done it once, together with my dad and the strategy you describe - doing a little bit every now and then over the course of two weeks, and coloring in the solved pieces. It was satisfying to finish it, but the perfectionist in me REALLY wants to complete it by myself, without the answer key. I love challenges like this Your video gave me the initial kick to finally start and I just spread out the pieces. Let's see how many weeks it takes! I do think however that the black one is quite a bit more difficult than the other ones. If you look at it more closely, it doesn't have that spiral pattern (it's circles), and the pattern gets "interrupted" by the straight pattern quite early. In the other places, the circular pattern extends to the puzzle's edge, making it more difficult to distinguish pieces between it and the straight pattern. Alright, now I will go and descend into madness. See you all on the other side :P

[@coaster1235]

Buying the puzzle in both silver and black, say, solving both puzzles and then swapping pieces could make for some very pretty patterns!
