WHO IS THE NEW FASTEST PUZZLER IN THE WORLD?

[@KarenPuzzles]

I can’t believe it’s finished 😪 This was the biggest project I’ve ever taken on, and I hope you all liked the videos. If you missed the first two in this series, you can watch them here: Quarterfinals: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2fPo3ptjZx5qZI Semifinals: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXKqmo2EhbStis0 And stay tuned for my tour of the Ravensburger factory coming this January!

[@msinvincible2000]

Thank you Karen for these videos, it's so much better when you explain and condensate everything, because watching the live stream wasn't as interesting.

[@KatrinaColemanPuzzler]

Thanks for a wonderful recap Karen. And for discussing reviewing results with the organisers. ❤

[@jdaisy2000]

I am so excited. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making this video. My husband says this is my superbowl, and I have not let any spoilers ruin it for myself.

[@KarenPuzzles]

Wow, that's dedication! I hope you like it!

[@Natg6]

Same!! I made sure not to spoil it

[@tara.amalia]

so... my boyfriend, who doesn't like puzzles at all because he's way too impatient, just kept watching the 3 parts with me because he loved the positive vibes of the puzzling community. thank you and your cameraperson so much for capturing that positive energy.

[@animelover1023]

The highlight you did for Kristin winning first was so incredibly sweet and I know that she will love and cherish how you captured the events leading up to that moment ❤

[@KarenPuzzles]

Valentina was crying while filming, and then I was crying while editing 😭

[@moony4814]

I also just cried because of that. I’m so happy for her

[@trullatube]

I still tear up at Kristins win! And the most amazing thing is, I don't think there was one person in the dome - including everyone in the run for the title - who wasn't happy for her. 🥰

[@fidget918]

I love how in every video you thank Valentina. So often, people who work behind the scenes get overlooked and forgotten. Thank you for always pointing out how important she is to this series' success!

[@ambermarie7204]

Karen, it doesn’t matter how fast you are at individual puzzles, you are by far and away the best producer of puzzle videos on the Internet! Someone else said these are documentary quality and yes, yes, they most definitely are. I hope to someday go to these competitions and I wouldn’t have even dreamt of it if it wasn’t for your videos. Thank you! I rarely wait for channels to post a new video but I was waiting for this one!!

[@davidsix4553]

Karen should enter a documentary competition with the high quality videos.

[@abib7294]

I cried watching this. The support in this community is amazing. It just made me so misty eyed to see how kind and uplifting the speed puzzlers all are! This video is so amazing. Thank you for all the hard work poured into these videos!

[@PatrickWard-be7jd]

It is kind of amazing, in basically just 3 years how competitive puzzling has become/grown worldwide. I do think you will see some more jumps in the next decade. Karen, you and Ravensburger are obviously greatly responsible for this. Very professional, well done video/documentary.

[@radicalrick9587]

Oh for sure

[@patmurkland4161]

Superb storytelling and editing! Love your attention to detail. In a way, editing is like puzzling - every view, every bit of music, in the correct place to move the story forward. Thank you for this gift!

[@balrog7252]

Greetings from Poland I had no idea until I watched your videos that my compatriots sent such a large team to the championship and I am even more proud that they performed so well. 👋👋👋😀

[@silentspeaker0156]

I actually did my first 1,000 piece Ravensburger yesterday! I got just over seven hours doing it by myself (not in one sitting), but it was a difficult illustration with lots of blobby flowers sections. I really enjoyed the quality of it and the vibrancy of the colors.

[@KarenPuzzles]

That's a great solo time for a difficult puzzle!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Everyone in Poland: I want Kristin and Alejandro Everyone in Poland’s mom: We have Kristin and Alejandro at home

[@StaciGabriel]

the phrasing had me do a 2x take... lol

[@mariannatatarska1140]

I'm so proud of my countrymen!!! Poland mountain🇵🇱

[@arlothe_ariel]

lol that is exactly what happened!

[@berchiezs]

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS we love you Karen!! Take a well-deserved break! ❤

[@KarenPuzzles]

I have one more video (unrelated to Worlds) going up this Friday, and THEN I'll take a break 😅

[@neonfarbenrausch]

The camera work is incredible! Great cinematography with the music and editing!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Valentina was working harder than any of us filming the entire thing!

[@teagank32]

Thank you for all of your work on these videos Karen, you truly make puzzling such an accessible and fun activity to learn about and engage with! And congratulations on your teams placement, that’s amazing!!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@5PctJuice]

I was waiting for this to come out. Amazing job in the teams final, that's an incredible finish! I can't wait to see what next year's competition looks like! I can only imagine the kind of work that goes into preparing for this each year, let alone compiling and editing all of the footage (I totally believe that it took 3 months). Huge round of applause for Valentina as well, I can also only imagine how hectic it must have been to film all over the place during this event.

[@KarenPuzzles]

She was running around like crazy trying to get all the top finishes, and the footage turned out amazing 🙌🏻

[@radicalrick9587]

I can't believe you put this whole video together Karen! Such a beautiful and professional job.

[@judygibson5386]

Oh, Karen! This video is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Your editing perfectly built the drama; music choice amazing; great balance between covering all the participants and yet showing your own and your teams' performance. Even though I had watched the livestream and knew the outcome I was on the edge of my seat. (Now give yourself some good time off and enjoy your family and friends.)

[@magicjack4076]

The last puzzle I think I did was when I was like 10 at school. How fast everyone is able to put theses super hard puzzles together is just insane

[@KarenPuzzles]

We all do A LOT of puzzling 😅

[@LizSchmidt-w7g]

My husband and I so enjoy watching your videos together. You are a masterful storyteller! Although we will never be fast puzzlers, through your videos, we feel part of the community. We cheered for Kristin, routed for Alejando, clapped for the all the awesome teams from different countries and are looking forward to the Ravensburger factory tour. Thank you Karen for all your hard creative work on the videos.

[@catouniverse]

I was looking forward to this so much! one of the things I love about Karen Puzzle videos is how transparent she is about everything. from what exactly ravensburger paid for her, to the extra time the judges missed. and yeah, ravensburger made a great investment because when karen uploads a video, 80% of the time I go buy a puzzle XD also, I almost SCREAMED with that teaser about the factory!!! looking forward to that super hard!

[@AA-qb9rr]

Congratulations so much for the third place 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@mikya9611]

Congrats on your finish! I love how I have been watching your videos so long that I can recognize competitors between different competitions. Everyone did so great!

[@lunabelletheinsane]

I hope Tiffany and Karen stay puzzle pair partners, I feel like the more they practice with each other, the faster they will get. Their energies really mesh supremely well.

[@sarahhenning5484]

I love how supportive everyone is in the speed puzzling community. It's truly heartwarming and my favorite part about it

[@hopscotch6018]

This might be my favorite series to watch on all of youtube! Rarely do I watch this long of videos not on double speed and every year I watch every single one of these on normal speed. Thank you Karen (and Valentina)

[@MsVickster12]

Congratulations to all the fastest puzzlers !!! Busy Birdies, Teresa and Marketa, and Kristin. Thank you Karen for your dedication to sharing all the puzzle fun!! Thank you also to Ravensburger. 😀

[@starrwinter]

Your videos made me go out and buy my first puzzles in a very long time and the joy and sportsmanship of puzzling is just outstanding! TY Karen, Valentina, and all the Worlds volunteers / organizers / and participants! ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@MeriaDuck]

Giving Kristin a virtual hug, what a match! 🤗 Thanks for all hard editing work Karen!

[@elusive73]

Congratulations!!! I'm over the moon for you! I always look forward to waiting for YOUR video to find out who wins in the different categories. You do SUCH a good job with these!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The atmosphere in that tournament is so exhilarating.

[@MeKnownAsI]

I've enjoyed this series so very much, even though I'm not involved in competitive puzzling. Thank you and Valentina and everyone else who helped bring these videos to us. And of course, congratulations to all the winners!❤

[@Nataliecj]

Ahhh thank you so much, Karen, this series is so fantastic. I didn't look at any of the results before watching this video, so I had no idea your team came third! That is incredible, congratulations! It's obvious how much work you put into these videos and it really shows. I look forward to these videos every year. The puzzling community is so amazing 🧩

[@alysemarie8313]

Oh huge congratulations to Marketa! In the nine months I was pregnant I did 32 jigsaw puzzles. I laid them all out and took photos right before giving birth. That's about all I did while he was growing 😅 And my mother similarly did a massive amount of jigsaw puzzles when she was pregnant with me in the 80's. After giving birth I have only done your puzzle, Karen. In three years that's the only one I looked forward to enough to do. Parenting infants and toddlers is not for the weak. You really do have to sacrifice hobbies and a lot of personal freedoms. I got a puzzle advent calendar this year. It's 1000 piece split out over 24 days. I figured it was about the only way to work my hobby into my life. My little almost 3 year-old amazing bean is now doing jigsaw puzzles so carefully next to me and it is the best feeling ever. He talks himself through it. He says oh no maybe this piece goes over here. Maybe I have to turn it. And he's actually doing it. I can take up to 6 pieces out of a puzzle section that we've already done. and he is able to reason it out and put them in the right place so gently and carefully. And if you knew my son, you would know that he hardly ever does anything gently. 😂 so to new parents who have no time for your hobby anymore: Oh just wait until they start doing it with you. It is magical! Merry Christmas to everyone! 🎉 Seeing these videos makes me want badly to team up with him by my side in a pairs event. When he is a little older we really could if he still loves puzzles. What a positive and uplifting thing to be a part of!

[@Wookstruck]

Can’t believe the last part is here! I’ve been binge watching your other videos on the channel while waiting for this! I’m gonna be getting another 1000 piece puzzle just to time myself for the first time haha Great video as always🙌

[@Whalexander]

You ate the videos up this year, I was so gripped. It's amazing to see how you, your friends, and the top contestants have improved throughout the years. Third place in teams is incredible!!!

[@minemoony9314]

Thank you for this amazing series! ♥️

[@critically.panned]

Sooooooo glad I have today off. I am sat with snacks, ready to watch the drama unfold!

[@memyselfandhereiam]

You put so much love and effort into these beautiful video's! Thank you!

[@icturner23]

When the pairs final started all of us in the Dome gasped with joy at the design. I was sitting by the exit from the arena and when Alfonso came out shortly afterwards I said to him how nice it was, to which he beamed with pride.

[@haleztrom2597]

You’re a rockstar! Your videos rekindled my love of puzzling, I watched the worlds livestream but I couldn’t catch all of them. These highlights are excellent. Like everything you do, comprehensive, great production and high quality. Many thanks for your hard work on these.

[@unpeople]

This was so well put together, and well worth the effort for such a great final result. Congratulations to you and your teammates for being the 3rd fastest in the world, you've all come so far since I started watching your channel.

[@deborahkristensen9344]

Hooray from Norway. So happy for Kristin!

[@landsgevaer]

Hurra! Jeg er ikke norsk men hun er absolut min favorittpusselspiller. Gratulerer.

[@cinm9565]

Was looking forward to this…it didn’t disappoint…thank you!❤

[@Fleetato]

amazing video thanks so much for all the work you do to document the speed puzzling community! also because of you I tried to speedrun one of those ravensburger 500 piece circle puzzles for the first time did it in 1:53!

[@KarenPuzzles]

That's really good for your first attempt!

[@Zweyrohn]

This is amazing! I loved this! I was so waiting for this, avoiding spoilers... Thank you Karen!!!

[@lyndseypoynter6158]

Such an excellent series! The results tables may be available online, but they are not complete without all the stores behind it. Thanks for all your hard work highlighting worlds.

[@jovelineollero4609]

I love how you gave each finish its own motif! Such good editing.

[@MKarvat]

Congrats to Busy Birdies, Teresa and Marketa, and most of all, to Kristin after such a long time! But a huuuuuge shoutout to Karen for putting all of this up in such a neat way. It was AMAZING to watch. And I'm already looking forward to next year's competition!

[@justkarly7768]

Way to go Kristin!!!!!!!!! So happy for her 💜

[@kated47]

This was so much fun - I was waiting for the finals videos and as soon as I got the notification, I zipped right over here. I waited to find out the results from your series and was on the edge of my seat! Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@Marlene7388]

Excellent editing, coverage and your commentary! Loved all of it Karen. Every time I see someone win I tear up, doesn't matter how many times. I feel so much joy for all you competing, I am happy for all of you! Thank you for all of your hard work and effort! Fabulous! Congrats to Busy Birdies, Teresa and Marketa and Kristin! Well done!

[@Raczyna]

I was pleased to watch your summary and all live videos from the event. Hugs, Alejandro. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was deliberately trying to let others win. The presenter was simply wonderful! And now I can't wait to see the report from the factory!!!

[@mommam2775]

Love the opening so far! I will continue to watch, but I really appreciate the work you have put on this project.

[@KitD2365]

I have been looking forward to this video for weeks and it did not disappoint! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Karen. It shows! And thanks to Valentina for her amazing footage. I feel like I was actually there. And congratulations to this year's winners, especially Kristin. I'm glad it was finally her year.

[@tzu-tinglin7402]

[@rebeccabrown4277]

Great job, Karen! The pacing and music were outstanding, very very well done.

[@Clover12346]

So worth the wait. Well done!

[@kathrinholweger8743]

Extremely impressive work on putting this (and the previous) videos together. So professional! I usually don’t watch videos beyond 20min, but this had me hooked to the end :)

I absolutely loved seeing Kristin finally win the title! During the live session, I kept checking to see if Karen would make an appearance somewhere. Such an exciting moment!

[@oLisselo]

Thank you so much for all your hard work! I enjoyed all these World Championship videos so much! Congratulations on your 3rd place finish!

[@junocrows4354]

It's been a long time since I was looking forward to a video being uploaded, but this changed that. I just remembered that it comes out today and it made me so excited; I opened the app just now and saw that it's here!

[@sxcchicks]

Thank you and Valentina so much for these amazing videos. I really enjoyed every moment of the series and cant wait to see how next year will go. Until then, I'll puzzle on and hope to get faster~

[@laregimbal]

That was so epic! I actually had the live stream up on my TV all that weekend and I loved reliving those moments in your videos! Thx for all the hard work and effort you and Valentina put into showcasing this awesome event! ❤❤❤ And I was lucky enough to get the one puzzle I wanted, which is the pairs final one, Valladolid. 🎉 Can't wait for the Ravensburger tour!!!

I won't skip any of the ads. :v SPOILER BELOW!!! 29:52 I was sooooo rooting for her since two years ago..... this was so exciting to watch, how the queen gets her throne. :') And I love how Alejandro and Kristin and Alejandro have been a great ival for each other, that's the best of sport spirit, having someone ti push you to your best :')
