Oh my god, I was about to comment exactly this. I'm late but it's so funny

This would be a great (albeit very challenging) puzzle for people with low or no vision - surface texture, unique pieces, and highly reflective (which some blind people who have some light perception might really enjoy). There really aren't many jigsaw puzzles around where it doesn't matter if you can't see colours or details.

Tip I've learned from doing vintage springbok puzzles. Use a rolling pin on the final puzzle to flatten the puzzle makes for a flat final surface and better photos.

I really like how she is embracing who she is as a person. Her personality traits her characteristics, her passion for doing puzzles and she is not ashamed at all. She is owning it, who she really is. I haven't watched all of her videos. But this puzzle looked so hard. I would have been complaining during the process of putting it together how hard it is. But she just accepts that it was hard and some take way longer then others. She sounded so positive when she was talking about this puzzle she almost pursuaded me to get the exact same one and give it a try. She makes doing puzzles look so easy.

I finished this puzzle on the same day you did (per Instagram) but I had been working on it for about 10 days, mostly an hour or two at a time until the last day when I powered through. I too sorted the pieces according to shape and worked from the bottom up, but I also sub-sorted the pieces according to the orientation of the pattern on them. In one direction, the holographic hexagon edges are parallel, and if you turn it 90 degrees, the edges form zig-zags instead, so if I was looking for one of the standard puzzle piece shapes, I knew I only had to look at the pieces where the pattern was oriented correctly. I used trays that let me easily rotate all the candidate pieces to face the direction I was needing. I think my puzzle has been done and taken apart a few times because the plastic holographic layer is lifting from the edges a little, so it’s not as neat as this one. I took a picture of the back, flipped it, and printed it out to put in the box for the next person in case they need a hint. :D

I like when you bring out these old Springbok puzzles. My Grandma had a time completing this one. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

Omg holo AND Karen?! Best day ever!!!

I’m so glad you’re doing Springboks lately, they’ve been my mom’s puzzle brand of choice since the seventies.

Holographics and puzzling combined is just so satifying to watch

I think it’s so cool that there’s a poem on the back that frightens, dares, and beckons one to do this puzzle.

Springboks modern puzzles still have all those piece shape tricks - definitely a little tricky but i find them way more fun than just standard cuts!

in these kind of cut, I find that the very weird piece usually are a normal piece cut in 2. so I tend to assemble the weird ones together to make the normal piece first.

After watching this video, I’ve been on the hunt for this puzzle. After a year of searching, I found it at a reuse book store for $5!!! 😮 I’m really hope that all the pieces are there! ❤️

The pieces inside the puzzle frame look like like dancing people during the fast moving sections, I love it, very cute.

Do you think that people at puzzle companies are scratching their heads, wondering what kind of puzzle they could possibly make to challenge Karen?

I loved this video. Honestly, when you said that this puzzle required your full brain to solve, reminded me the spanish translation of jigsaw puzzle: rompecabezas. This literally means head breaker.

I did this puzzle with my Dad way back when it first came out. What a challenge!

Me: (finds puzzles tricky) (Holographic Puzzle exists) Me: “OH SHHH-“ Karen: “I’m here to introduce you to Puzzle Wizardry.”

Will you please try a photosamics puzzle? From what I've heard each piece has a tiny image on it that builds a big image. Would love to know the quality and how hard it is. Thanks!

The way you picked up the holographic puzzle in the end was so impressive!

Springbok is wild. You know a puzzle is hard when it is normal shaped and you just move on from completing the edge pieces because of how long it takes. I loved how HOLOGRAPHIC it was too! Great as always, Karen!

im recovering from covid and this video brought me joy-thank you, Karen. Holigraphic.

All bow down to the Puzzle Queen! There is no way I would ever try a holographic puzzle. I would get frustrated & give up on it after a short period of time. Congrats!!

Whenever you say "I finished the sorting" I feel like I'm in the Great Hall and the Houses are decided by some puzzlers qualities that you might posess...

Somebody should send that puzzle to Cristine !

I've only just started this video and I'm already just not understanding how you are going to do this. I love these challenging puzzles you do so much and the effort you put into the close up shots

LOL! If i was doing that puzzle I think 99% of it would be by "brute force"! That has got to be a very difficult puzzle! Yes, I would attempt it - but put it some place I could work on it over months!

omg lucky you! i’ve never seen such an iconic puzzles and i think nowadays puzzles like this will never be produced

I'm a 70 year old lady. I have never had much of an interest in puzzles, I've tried once or twice with no success. Since I have been watching your channel, your helpful information has been very interesting and encouraging. I tried doing some on my tablet which I enjoyed. Today I bought my first "real " puzzle (500 pieces) and a piece of foam board. I'm going to try it, using the hints and suggestions that you have on your videos. I didn't know there was a method to the madness! We'll see how it goes! ❤🌻🌟💛🌟🌻❤

The future is now! A hypercolor puzzle would be very difficult, when you touched a piece the color would change.

Oh lord ... like Q*Bert!

There is nothing abt this holographic puzzle that looks fun. I give you so much credit Karen when you do these puzzles. They feel more like work than enjoyment to me. So no I would not be doing this puzzle! LOL I enjoy my bright graphic puzzles, defined shapes, etc. I just did a Ravensburger puzzle with beach chairs and umbrella. Those were fun to put together. The sky resorted to piece shapes. That's why I'm not a fan of the same piece puzzles, just in case I need to rely on the shape. Nice job! Really impressive that you finished in such a short period of time. And no complaints of migraines or seizures!!! win/win!

This HOLOGRAPHIC puzzle would not be fun to me but it was fun looking at you doing it 😂

It would be fun if you "measured" the difficulty of every puzzle on a pieces-placed-per-minute basis. I.e. at the end of each puzzle, divide your total puzzling time by the number of pieces! That way we can get a sense of how hard you find each new puzzle compared to other ones you've done before!

You're so sweet with your shirt matching the puzzle 🥺🥰

That puzzle is simply precious.

Another tip that I find very useful when I am doing a color block or difficult puzzle ( havent donde any Holographic yet) is to change “perspective”. what I do when I feel stock is I move across the table and look at the puzzle upside down! it does help. Maybe karen 1.does not need thay tip and 2. She has camara setup facing only ine way. Another thing is if I find two pieces thay go together but not on the puzzle yet (may be like an ocean print) I build up around those pieces, like a mini puzzle within the puzzle…this is soooooo helpful you would end up with a huge piece or many easily to find where it goes. :)

I put my puzzles together on foam boards so I can turn them easily.

Karen literally sorted the Puzzle Pieces like it’s jewellery. Technically, she’s a jeweller but with puzzles.

Awww I love Karen’s can-do attitude!! I had to take a break from a 3000-piece puzzle Karen inspired me to start, but this video made me want to get back to it & finish it up. Karen, can I ask how long you keep puzzles in-tact before deconstructing them? Specifically puzzles that caused you a bit of a headache in the process? Do you keep them up for longer, or do you never want to look at them again? 😂

While I love the timelapse moments showing the progress, it’s extremely satisfying to watch individual pieces being put in. Just watching them fit in close up is nice.

I would never have the stamina to do the Holographic puzzle, but loved watching you do it!

Holey Morley Holographic! If it takes Karen Puzzles over 14 hours to do this puzzle, I’d be lucky to get it done in 75! What a cool puzzle, but not something I would tackle in the, or even distant, future. Nice work and great video!

I would definitely like to try a Springbok puzzle - those piece shapes look like a fun challenge! But I’m not sure I have the staying power for a holographic puzzle like this one. Well done!

Holographic Yes, I’d like to see you do the gold I’d never complete this. I don’t have that much patience. 😵‍💫

Every time I do a springbok puzzle I spend so much time swearing that they are missing pieces. I love them though and they are definitely SOOOO satisfying

It's so beautiful, but the holographic print would give me mad migraines 🥲 I will have to live my puzzle dreams through you.

Idea for jigsaw puzzle company: holographic colour gradient puzzle. 😱😂

I knew you could do it! You are such a delightful person and I just want to thank you!

I've just gotten into puzzling because I randomly found your channel and it peaked my interest... However, you make it look so easy! Thanks for the wholesome good times :)

What an incredible holographic puzzle. Beautiful and such a snug fit.

I think a holographic puzzle would make me dizzy! Kudos to you Karen!

With Karen and persistence, she'll get it together!

I loved the Prismatic and Prismatic II puzzles. Those got glued and nailed to my basement ceiling with the other puzzles I never want to work again. Lol

This would be the perfect thing to place on a wall that catches stray sunbeams, imagine what a pretty headache everyone would get walking past it!

I don't think i would do this *holographic* puzzle, but it is so much fun to watch you doing this, so ofc I'd like to see you doing the golden puzzle. :)

Holographic puzzles are not on my list of puzzles I want to do as they look like they would give me a headache, but watching you do it is very satisfying can’t wait to see what you do next

Cristine from SimplyNailogical needs to do this! So cool! ♥

We have some HOLOGRAPHIC puzzles, but they have pictures. Well done on completing this one! 👍

The sequin shirt was perfect for day one of working this holographic puzzle. I wouldn’t attempt this but really enjoyed the video!

Omg, that could possibly be the hardest puzzle I've ever seen!! But it also is so pretty, I think I would be distracted by the holographic colors, they are such a beautiful visual stim! I think it would take me about 20 hours because I actually have the eye-thing, if I force it to much it will start to randomly shake and that's when I know I've been puzzling for too long 😂

Random cut puzzles have been the bane of my existence 🙃 I’m still working on my Springbok puzzle but only 166 pieces left 🥲

Beautiful puzzle. As commented quite a while ago, you inspired me to get back into puzzling. I love your channel 😄

holographic! love the tips at the end.

Karen, i was so happy to see a video by you in my feed tonight!! :) this puzzle looks hard, and is beautiful.

High quality videos as always thank you Karen

That holographic puzzle is a little crazy! I'm watching your video while putting together a Disney Thomas Kinkade puzzle, so I'm obviously making my life much simpler. ;)

I recently found your KZread channel in my recommendations because I love doing jigsaw puzzles myself, I glue mine down on poster boards and hang them up on my walls. It’s so satisfying to watch you press in each piece with that up close view. My largest puzzle I’ve done so far is 3,000 pieces and it’s the Ravensburger Oceanic Wonders puzzle. I usually only buy puzzles that are 500 pieces or more and only ones that have like dolphins, whales, etc or Pokémon ones.

Holographic ! Well done!!!

A puzzle buddy of mine found this last week for under $3 thrifting (tried hard not to be jealous) and I referred her to this video. She's lucky that her copy was disassembled in sections so if she wants to sell it, she'll have an easier time assembling it to verify the piece count... But I just found my own copy today for 79 cents!!! 😮😮😮 Mine is NOT mostly preassembled and the box is In TERRIBLE shape, but it has the original marketing inside and the pieces look to be in wonderful condition. I can't believe that we found 2 copies in Vegas thrift stores in such a short time. Her copy also had a glued together mini solid green circle puzzle inside of the box AND she found the hexagon Puzzler II the SAME trip. I'm totally screenshotting the final result from this video to use it as a cheat since I suspect the piece cut is the same...if not...well...wish me even more luck!

After completing such an ornery puzzle like your holographic puzzle, do you ever “decompress” by following that up with putting together an ordinary thousand piece jigsaw puzzle of a plain scene like an English garden?
