Why I had to find a whole new World’s team

[@KarenPuzzles]

I forgot to say in the video, but our total time puzzling for the weekend was 14 hours and 5 minutes. By the end of it, even I got a little burnt out on puzzling 😂 (I told that to my friends and they were shocked that it was possible.) What was your favorite puzzle out of the 19 we solved? Links to all of them are in the video description!

[@erinerinbobearin]

I still can’t believe you did 19 on 14 hours??? You’re incredible

[@benoitlarocque400]

that's a lot of puzzles for 2 days !! 😅 my favorite is Nefertiti on the Nile 🧩🧩

[@HDLowrider03]

I liked the first one because I have great memories of NYC. 😁👍👍 I hope that you ladies get 1st place! 😁

[@JeanandKenny]

The Beatles for me :)

[@champoo35]

Even if i'm from Canada 😉, my favorite puzzle is yours. 😁

[@crystalmacneill5227]

OMG. The 80s/90s montage team intro was next level. "slow clap" from this Gen X-er.... Lol 😂

[@samanthaquant7411]

Yes! And so accurate even down to how it went on and on way longer than current show intros. 😂😂😂

[@M_SC]

Leaning into the full house memories

[@FluffSWE]

yeah, it was so awesome and wholesome!

[@xxkimbatron]

On Instagram she uploaded it with the full house theme which takes it from a 10/10 intro to 11/10 🤭💛

[@mackberg1792]

Right!!!! That was so good 😊

[@erinerinbobearin]

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED, what an incredible name!!

[@benwinkel]

Concurred.

[@asuwannabe2015]

the subtext on the puzzles is cracking me up! "what likes it's hard?" "when one puzzle closes another opens" karennnn how do you THINK OF THESE?!

[@KarenPuzzles]

😂😂😂

[@meeprific]

Loved that 90s sitcom intro! So funny. 19 puzzles in a weekend is crazy, haha.

[@zuzanalehotska]

I was also laughing, how you managed to make the sitcom feeling into❤

[@M_SC]

@@zuzanalehotskamany shots were direct parallels of ones from the full house intro

[@vanhouten64]

I was hoping Smarf would make an appearance, or Will Dove or some of those guys.

[@samanehtoufanian4080]

There should be a relay doubles category called double doubles. Two pairs from a team of 4 start puzzling. When both pairs are done, they switch partners and finish a second puzzle each.

[@KarenPuzzles]

I’ve been saying for ages that there should be a relay puzzle event! I was thinking a team event but only one person can work at a time and they can’t communicate their strategy.

[@Liisa3139]

I would like a relay where one pair starts and at a random moment there will be a whistle and they have to leave it to the other pair. Maybe a second whistle later when ONE puzzler of the team has to leave to be replaced by another.

[@MartijnPennings]

It sounds cool, but probably a logistical nightmare, as every team has to be watched by an "official", to check if teams are actually switching etc....

[@jasonsumma1530]

The other issue would be space. The teams would have to have somewhere to go when they weren't at the table working on the puzzle. Then there is the whole collision issue of everyone moving around when it is time to switch up. From what I've seen, it is already hard enough NOT to bump the table and lose pieces. Think about the chaos of having all sorts of moving bodies around hitting tables.

[@Liisa3139]

@@jasonsumma1530 Puzzling could be stopped for the change, so no need to run.

[@itsmephil2255]

Is it just me or is anyone else proud of Karen being sponsored by Ravens burger?? You know a KZbinr has done well to get sponsorship like this GO KAREN!!!!!!👏🏼

[@Tom1573realist]

Well yeah. But it's not like it's the first time or something

[@sunfastrose]

Finally, a KZbin sponsor I can trust. I love Ravensburger puzzles

[@jaedd_plans]

The 90s sitcom intro was the best thing ever! ❤

[@AmalieSlaathaug592]

That bicycles on the bridge in Amsterdam during a sunset puzzle was the first 1000 piece puzzle i ever did. Finally got proof that it was in fact.....a not-very-easy puzzle

[@1NeonGirl]

Gen Y here and loving so much the 1980s/early 1990s team intro! in awe at how brilliantly edited and made this was.

[@DL-kx6wn]

CANADA. The effort you put into these video's is appreciated! You are easily one of my favorite YT'ers. All the best for Worlds.

[@bonniewalker5225]

I'm sharing your excitement for the worlds. Can't wait. I'll be cheering you on. Best of luck.

[@kioshekat7931]

i love the sitcom intro bit so much lol never fails to make me smile. i love that you highlighted their wins and fails as well

[@kioshekat7931]

when i pick puzzles I avoid large skies like the plague! But I think the reason you like working on skies is because you're so good at finding puzzle pieces by shapes as opposed to only relying on the image and what nub is being looked for. all those solid-color puzzle challenges have trained you so well for skies and gradients!

[@aartadventure]

Every time you make one of those old skool TV show intros I turn into a little giggling kid full of joy. I'd say this was the best, but I have to be real and remind everyone that the "Murder, She Puzzled" will always reign supreme.

[@phantomstarlight1366]

Haven't done any jigsaw puzzles in about 15 years, decided to buy a giant 18,000 piece one (Paradise Sunset) because I thought it'd look amazing on the wall, but I've never mounted a puzzle before so bought a few 1000 piece puzzles... Now I have 20 more puzzles in my cart waiting for me to pull the trigger. I completely forgot how much I loved jigsaw puzzles. Never thought to try speeding through them, and I think it will be fun. I found your channel a view days ago while watching videos on how to mount puzzles. My big one has to wait a few years until I move and have a free room anyway.

[@morrisoniice]

Love the vibe of this group! You can tell they already got good rapport. Rooting for you guys. I binged Karen's videos in two days. Awesome content. Between this and her videos on tiktok, she's so creative and good in storytelling 🥰 never been this hyped about puzzles!

[@MariaHernandez-fk1on]

Great team! 🎉 May speed puzzling gods be on your side! I just got back from my first speed puzzling competition! I placed 60th out of 112, and we placed 43th out of 88 pairs! I think it's not bad for the first time! 😅 1 month ago 500 pieces puzzle took me like 3+hours to finish, so I Def get better after training for a month! Sorry for the rambling, no one gets my puzzling addiction

[@KarenPuzzles]

That's great!

[@AM711]

"I already know I'm gonna be miserable for this entire puzzle" 😆

[@jeancarroccino8574]

Canada. GOODLUCK team. I will be watching and rooting you on 🎉🎉

[@Gregg29407]

Hey, you did your Colors on Colors puzzle! I saw your puzzle at B&N this week and I bought it (having not done a jigsaw puzzle myself in about 30 years!). I thoroughly enjoyed it and finished the entire thing in 9 hours, 48 minutes over 2 days, which I thought was pretty decent until I saw your team devour it in 38 minutes!!! LOL

[@slsove]

so excited for the new batch of worlds content

[@theresac.3216]

I definitely think I would enjoy your puzzle the most! I love gradient puzzles or puzzles with a water color type image. Anyway, good luck at Worlds, USA and Canada! ... and everyone else too! 😊

[@melissawingfield8666]

That's a lot of puzzling! So neat how your own puzzle, with your own design, was used at a competition! Congratulations! 👏👏👏

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

I can hardly wait for the WORLD JIGSAW PUZZLE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024!! Scenery puzzles are my favorite for it is harder than some. They may have a scenery puzzle this year. I hope the best for you Karen.

[@jeremiahbutler9399]

That was a great way to introduce you guys 80s style sitcom

[@bound4sunshine]

OMG What a GREAT Team you gathered!!!! I can't wait to see how you all do!!

[@yukinoyume76]

So many puzzles... Good luck to your team for the worlds !

[@36993020]

Canada is easily the most difficult image from just the look of it, I just did two Van Gogh painting puzzles and it’s brutal! All the textures look the same and the colours all blend together

[@meeshkang]

This is the cutest editing ever I had to clap over how cute this is. Good luck!!!!!

[@Flea_ip]

Haha that "Full House" team intro was hilarious

[@RachaelSparkles41]

Great video! I think my favorite was the Egyptian puzzle too. The other day. I wrote down all the times for the World Competition and converted them to CST time. A few early mornings in my future. I never thought that I would be so excited for a puzzle competition. That Canada one looks so hard. Good luck puzzling!!

[@elizabethashley2313]

Oh my goodness, that team intro video was adorable! Huzzah and good luck!! 🎉

[@RutagerWest]

First "CANADA" and now the World! Good luck ladies you've got this.

[@davidsix4553]

Oh Canada! I’ll be rooting for USA in Spain. Ever since hosting two exchanged students from Spain in high school, it has been on my bucket list.

[@jewelxiat]

I have grown my own collection of jigsaw puzzles in the last few months and it has recontextualized how IMPRESSIVE this is 😭 My record time on a 500 gradient piece puzzle is like, 3 hours LOL No matter what you ladies place this year, just know that you're still superstars for trying! I hope with enough practice I can get to a point where 1,000 piece puzzles are faster for me because I don't like taking a long time on jigsaws lol 😂

[@yournightmare2]

good luck for worlds. already looking forward to your coverage. awesome work and keep having fun!

[@andreaaufdermaur8733]

😂 …amazing team with the two throwing puzzles down the table (2.20)… That was a very funny montage!! 😄👍🏼 Good luck to you guys! 😃

[@scarletowl8337]

Canada 🇨🇦 😊Good luck 🍀 to you and your team at the World competition! The only puzzle 🧩 of these we’ve completed so far is Palm Springs Pets but we loved this one! ❤

[@wintersplace]

Merlins Labor 😂 Your team is so fun, I love all your personalities together.

[@nonameface90]

Not me, shrieking at Scandinavia idyllic puzzle, seeing it there while I've ordered it last month 😂 Karen, you are doing anazing job in making puzzling a thrilling activity, best luck to you, your team at Worlds, can't wait for the videos!

[@PuzzlesWithBri]

I loved the little introduction clip for the team 😄 that Canada puzzle looks so tricky!

[@allegrafavila2613]

The 90s team intro tickled me so good!!!

[@cecelialorene]

The full house team intro was great and reminded me of clueless where Cher does a report on Canada 😆

[@maggie2355-h9b]

Canada. Love to watch you puzzling. Can't wait for Worlds

[@sambeawesome]

Congrats on the new team! :D I don't think it was a bad thing to have done the tougher puzzles, apart from how tiring they were, haha. But it's good practice for the potential unexpected curveballs you can get at the competitions! :)

[@elise520]

Loved the montage! Will be cheering for Some Assembly Required 💪

[@ElizabethAMS2015]

I love this video! Thanks for sharing your insights on each puzzle you did so beginners and casuals like me know what to look for in a fun and easy solve!

[@tracybowling1156]

This was a really fun video. It was so nice to meet your new team!

[@GailMcCormick]

What a weekend! That Canada puzzle does look rough! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!! (I'm not ready!)

[@ranaawwad7677]

I love these videos preparing for the event thanks Karen

[@unemilifleur]

Hi from *Canada* 🇨🇦 Good luck to you all at Worlds :)

[@hnichole]

Omg my birthday falls during Worlds! I can't wait to watch Some Assembly Required (such a clever name, by the way!) and all the other amazing puzzlers going to Spain!

[@francescathomas3502]

Hey I live in CANADA and I love your channel. My favourite puzzle out of all the practice puzzles has got to be the 500 piece License Plates puzzle. I just LOVE that one!!! I will be watching the live stream at worlds. Good Luck to Karen and to the team - Some Assembly Required!!

[@GirlOnFire_12]

That Canada puzzle looked daunting! Love your puzzling spirit!

[@frannypiano]

Go Karen!! I have successfully converted a bunch of colleagues to competitive jigsaw puzzling as a result of your videos :)

[@elizabethsheets5514]

You are so inspirational and fun.

[@susybutler5629]

Merlin’s Laboratory is very much my style of puzzle. I thought “oh, cool!” at the same time you sighed at it. CANADA seems really cool to me, too.

[@marieprokupek669]

The video is both creative and fun to watch. I loved your little written comments! Looking forward to the live stream for worlds! Hoping that no puzzle does resemble the one from bCanada

[@dahliam5397]

Genuinely soooo hype for this years line up at worlds!

[@AbiHills]

wow, so many puzzles. also i love videos with multiple puzzle solves, they're the best. I always watch your videos with a puzzle of my own because otherwise I get the itch to do one myself haha. also i'm a patreon, so i'll head on over and watch the new exclusive videos after this one. CANADA

[@anna1emily]

Wow the Canada puzzle looks hard and also I loved the car licence plates one and can’t wait watch worlds

[@badgerrambler]

Ahhh yay good luck!! Those Canada puzzles are hard!

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

Wow! So impressive! You guys are incredible puzzlers!

[@maudkoerhuis]

I absolutely loved this video! Especially with puzzel 13, 13 is my lucky number, being one of my favorite puzzles I own. I’m a big a big fantasy and science nerd, so I just love the image eventhough is quite difficult.

[@hotdesertmopars]

I love Pets of Palm Springs. Thanks for a great video! CANADA!

[@tammyhicks8699]

I loved the SpongeBob cartoon and y'all's team name is awesome! I was so excited to see Kat Dilks in particular!I really started to like seeing her on the last Worlds competition.Also glad to see Tiffany back as pairs this time too.I don't doubt y'all had burn out after that!Good luck to all!!

[@beckypetersen2680]

wow. Just wow. Glad to see this coming up again!

[@DuluthTW]

Good luck with the next CANADA-like puzzle. Thanks for sharing!

[@palatina6626]

Thank you Ravensburger! I like your puzzles so much. I would love to do the Canada puzzle on Christmas.

[@jeancrochets]

It's always so exciting to see a puzzle I own show up in a video. I have the Alice in wonderland one. (Found in a thrift store for like 3 euros)

[@rookjameson]

Oh, I've actually done the Amsterdam one before! I struggled quite a bit with all the darker parts, so it's very nice to see you confirm that it is not easy xD

[@birchlotus]

Last year, I believe I commented on a competition video saying I had other videos to watch on this channel but I could not wait to watch that one. I think I'm starting an annual tradition. 😂

[@stacyssassystyles]

This is a banging team- can't wait to watch!!

[@Marlene7388]

Love your team name "Some Assembly Required" Awesome!!! That puzzle from "CANADA" did look a little difficult. Your team will do well in Spain! Thank you for sharing 🧩🧩🧩

[@ijlayugan4149]

Your editing skills are top tier

[@thejohnsons2123]

I would like to see the camera postponed overhead above the puzzle. It would be satisfying to watch it get put together at high speed from that angle.

[@zagapione]

I love watching your videos ♥ Canada puzzle was definetely the hardest one :D

[@puzzledtopieces8839]

I can’t even find some of those puzzles! Have fun at World’s! The Canada puzzles are so beautiful looking!

[@AuntGrace]

BTY. Congratulations on your new team 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@michaelwilson8591]

You're going to do great! Relax! You got this!

[@sophiemedwell9241]

I did that Canada puzzle with my family and it was so hard! Can't imagine trying to do it as a speed puzzle

[@jmg999]

The intro to your new team was really cute and clever.

[@mysteriousangioletta]

Good luck to team some assembly required! I’ll be cheering you on from Canada 👀 🎉

[@PepeHerreraH]

The group name is ssooooo CLEVER! 👏👏👏 I'm so excited and I will be watching as last year! Not from CANADA but from my home in Indianapolis.

Canada, sure thing, but I allready own Nefertiti and did it solo this spring. My favourites are Jumbo artist Jan van Hasteren vintage motives and the WASGIJ series also Jumbo company. Love your Puzzling content Karen. ❤ from 🇩🇰

So many views on so little time…..what a compliment to a wonderful channel….

[@geodatanerd]

I have three of the Canadian Collection puzzles, but have only done one of them. It was fun but a slog to get through. I think I have to try to pick up the Nefertiti puzzle. It is gorgeous!
