I can usually do a 500 piece puzzle in less than 2 hours, so maybe 5 in 8 hours.

What about setting up multiple puzzles around the apartment and only working on each for 20 mins before you have to move on? I wonder if the switching would make it hard to focus or feel refreshing? Would def need a camera person tho.

I really appreciate that you reach out to the puzzle companies for comment when you encounter an issue with a puzzle, and you still give us, the viewers, an honest review. It’s very fair and professional of you.

I had the exact same problem with the better co round puzzle. Really frustrating, I even got them to send me a new one that had the same issue. Hate that you had the same issue, but glad I wasn’t alone. They sent me a rectangular puzzle as a replacement, great customer service. Still frustrating.

I once took all of the "500" piece puzzles that I have in my house about 15 and went to my room to do them all. It wasn't all in one day but that was a fun week. Not to mention I was able to listen to quite a few audiobooks which is my ideal thing to do while puzzling. Overall it was really fun and I would definitely do it again!

Would have been a perfect challenge for quarantine

Since I got better at puzzles I stopped buying “500” piece ones because I found them too easy but seeing this had made me want a few quick jigsaws in my collection.

That's some commitment! Can't wait to watch.

I'm starting to think I sort too much at the beginning of my puzzles. Going to try your spread-it-out technique. I suspect you see colors much clearer than most of us. Good video, as always. Thanks!

500. I am so impressed! I will do a 500 piece and a 300 piece in the same day but can't sit as long as you can. I love the quality of the art in the puzzles you chose.

Dear Karen, I do hate puzzles. I find them frustrating and I have difficulty imagining what the piece I am looking for should look like. 300 piece puzzle takes me longer than a standard 1000 type takes you but... For some reason I turn to puzzles when I am emotionally distressed. They keep me busy and block negative emotions. Every time when pieces fit it really is satisfying. Also, thanks to you I realized that I was starting with very hard puzzles. Way too repetitive with tiny details on them etc. Some images or paintings I like don't scale well or look terrible as puzzles. You helped me discover that there's so much more in the "puzzle universe" than nature photos or images of famous paintings. Thank you. Your enthusiasm is infectious. PS: I love Antonio Gaudi"s tiles' images on puzzles. B.

I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and can finally do puzzles again. I put them on a high counter and work while I watch them play. My biggest issue now is they want to help. And my 4 year old will often hijack them when I'm almost done. But I'm glad she likes puzzles.

I am so glad that you struggled with the Lucky Charms puzzle! I worked on it for three days and it is now rolled up in the closet waiting for me to regain my patience!

This video was crazy omg! 12 hours non stop! You’re truly a warrior, loved the video 🥳 I’d definitely do this challenge if I had enough puzzles lol, and I’ve never done a 500 puzzle 🧩 so it would be interesting

Though i am about 500 years old and haven't done jigsaws since I was a kid, your style, presentation, comments and observations about your experience and puzzling in general keeps me entertained. Edited to add: Also my cat can't keep his eyes off your hand movement over the puzzles.

stumbled across your channel recently . i have now watched most of your puzzling , its so satisfying , your so good at the puzzles x

Thank you for putting in -500-% effort for every video! Your videos are honestly my favorites on KZread. So relaxing and informative; I have learned about so many great puzzle companies

I recently discovered your channel and while I have never successfully completed any jigsaw puzzle above the beginner level, you have inspired me to try again! Really enjoying the videos, you have such a fantastic enthusiasm and great fun watching you puzzling. Now I must order a puzzle...

*karen starts her sponsored segment and is spreading goodness and positivity* me: you go girl!!

I just discovered your channel through a friend in my puzzle group on FB. Your videos are so much fun and enjoyable! I do puzzles every day. I even have an 8 foot long shelving unit with about 400 puzzles on it! Your videos are great to watch while I'm puzzling or when I'm in need of some puzzling time. I just wanted to leave you a comment to tell you I think you're awesome!

I've only gotten into the video until the sponsored part and I feel like that's such a good match for your channel! For many of us, puzzles or even your videos about puzzles can be a very therapeutic thing, so helping us viewers further into seeking mental health support is such a good idea

I love how you ALWAYS ask yourself ‘why do I do this to myself’ or something in that ilk. These are great 500 piece puzzles and you have introduced me to many different manufacturers. Thank you

Would love to see this kind of video again! It was so fun, and it sounds like you would have more fun as well if you did the preparation and filming improvements you mentioned in the end!

Thank you so much for reminding me how much I like to do puzzles. Definitely not as quick as you, but on my 3rd puzzle in two weeks.

Loved your personal challenge 💕. I have not done a “500” puzzle yet. Working on a 359 puzzle now from dollar store. Learning a lot watching you. Especially to have fun with it. 🤗

"500" piece puzzles are very relaxing to do. I thoroughly enjoyed your challenge, Karen. Thanks so much for sharing:)

I can’t believe you got that many done. Brilliant. 52 minutes for the first one, it would take me 52 hours. Well done you. There is no doubt you are the puzzle master. I’ve never done even a 500 puzzle in a day.

I have never done "500" piece puzzles but this 12-hour challenge was great! I can't wait to see next year's challenge and compare. I plan on trying a puzzle day over my next long weekend! Great work and quality as always!

How fun!!!! I think my favorite out of this group of 500 pc puzzles is the cascade one, but I truly loved all your choices!!!

I LOVE this! I’m a beginner puzzler and 500 👀 piece puzzles are my favorite right now. I’m super grateful for the reviews!

Loved this video! I could watch this kind of content over and over again. 500 pieces is my favorite piece count as I am a mom and don't have a lot of time. The puzzles you picked were so fun to look at and, of course, you made it look so easy and effortless to do all of them even though you said - and I can imagine - some of them being harder than you think. Overall just an absolutely satisfying video ❤! Thank you, Karen 🙏!

I enjoyed your video about these 500 piece puzzles done over an 8 hour challenge. I hope you make this an annual event so we can see your progress. Nice work Karen!

My first Betterco puzzle is the same paint swatches that you do in the video. Kudos to you for finishing it. I threw in the towel and wish I hadn’t bought it. 🙁 But I also did the Lemonade Pursuits puzzle and loooved it! Definitely going to check out the Areaware puzzles. Thanks for taking on the challenge and reviewing them all!

I wish I could watch you live streaming this while studying or working. This would be so nice. I really enjoy watching your videos, thank you :)

During lockdown here, I've pretty much taken this on as well! I was really sick, and getting stuck into a puzzle was my first step during recovery to use my brain again. However, normie that I am, I would spend all day on one puzzle, including one five-hundred piece one from Lemonade Pursuits, which was my first time puzzling without using the image as reference. Actually the one you didn't do in the video! Their puzzles, which I ordered after seeing on your instagram, are so lovely to do. Ooooh! I also spent a couple days (twice) doing Magic Puzzle Company puzzles. I would love to see you review them, as they're seriously fun! I'm dying to do the third, but I can't get it where I live right now, so I'm waiting for a friend in the US to take pity on me and send it over.

500 love watching you puzzling Karen ,thank you for another great video

This was really cool. I just started getting into puzzles over Christmas and am now obsessed. Hope to do puzzles that are bigger than 500 pieces in the future!🤗

A twelve-hour puzzle session sounds super fun. I might have to try that sometime

I’m definitely going to be purchasing the Rifle Paper Co puzzle, the design on that is so beautiful! I definitely could not do as many 500 piece puzzles as you did in 12 hours! That takes a lot of discipline

A round puzzle from BetterCo was my first purchase from them. After putting it together I swore I was done buying from them, but I’m really glad to hear that you like their rectangular puzzles! I am so drawn to some of the images they have.

You should look into setting the world record for most assembled 500 piece puzzles in 24 hours. That would also make a fun video.

Honestly I could sit and watch this all day x I don’t have much room where I am living atm so can’t do puzzles x your so quick at puzzles xx

I just imagine the puzzle factory, and someone runs up to Jeff Factory, Boss of the Puzzle Factory. "Boss! We've got a problem!" "What?" "Karen Puzzles had problems with our puzzle!" "SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT ALL DOWN!!!! Forward the call to my office. I'll have to apologize to her myself." "Hey, there, just a few questions on this round puzzle!" "I'm so sorry, we'll fix it, we'll send you a new version, it's Covid! It's destroying everything!!! Please forgive us!" "Sounds great, have a good day, Covid is a jerk!" :D

I totally want to try doing this challenge as a 12hr live stream. Obviously with all credits to you since you bring my love for puzzles back up with every video

I love her dedication and commitment and also that she is so good at it 500

This was fun to watch! I usually do 1000 pc puzzles but struggle with poor lighting at home and general distractions. I've been working on the rock and tree background of a waterfall puzzle for about 3 weeks now!

Just ordered a bunch of cloudberries puzzles. Guess you just gave me a new addiction :-)

Wow! What a treat to see Karen put together all of those gorgeous 500 piece puzzles! You are my inspiration for quality puzzle brands! I love Cloudberries and have the Gradient one in my stash, I love Inner Piece’s Tokyo Time - so fun, and have done a 1000-piece Lemonade Pursuit’s puzzle and have two 500-piece puzzles in my stash. Other brands with great quality 500-piece puzzles are Wander, Seltzer, Goodfit, and WerkShoppe (nice thick pieces, matte finish, no puzzle dust, good fits, and so on). Thanks, Karen, for going into puzzle-land where no one else dares to go and keeping a fun attitude the whole time - it’s a treat to watch your videos!

Well done! I so rarely do 500 piece puzzles but this makes me want more of those.

My body would not be able to handle 12 hours of puzzling 😂 maybe I could do one 500 puzzle in a sitting but that's about it! So well done!!!

I love your videos, keep up the good work!

such beautiful puzzles! loved the video!

You are literally my favorite Karen. Also I LOVE that shirt that you are wearing at the end.

absolutely love your videos! these puzzles are so beautiful! unfortunately they're really expensive here where i live :/

That was so much fun to watch! I’m Brazilian so I don’t have access to these brands bc it costs too much but I would love to do any of them, especially the Cloudberries or these 500 pieces by Lemonade Pursuits. Here, the puzzle brands have lots of problems, the pieces fit where they were not supposed to so it just takes forever. Most of the time I puzzle for 6 or 8 hours straight, doing one or two puzzles while watching tv shows. That’s always a great way to spend the day! Your videos always makes my day better as well, thank you! 💚

I really enjoyed watching you do all of the “500” piece puzzles. I did a few during Covid, and I have three ready to go.

I would love to see this as a yearly series!!!

This was so fun to watch and I might have to do it for my channel.... I know I wouldn't do as many, but it will be fun to see what happens.

I also have the BetterCo Paint Swatch puzzle with the weird fitting errors and dull color and I was so confused! Took me much longer to do the whole thing than I thought. Glad they're fixing it though. I'd be curious to try another 500 circle puzzle of theirs but they look so hard!

I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos! I think they are really fun! 😊

You are not weird! You are perfect! Love to watch your channel. Everytime you run your hands over the puzzle after you finish I always sigh as if I finished it. And you think you're weird!!!!! Lol !!!!

I love your passion for puzzles! As daunting as the challenge is going to be, I know you will also truly enjoy it! 500.

I keep looking at the Rifle Paper Co. puzzles in Barnes & Noble and I love them, but I don't want to spend that much on a 500 piece puzzle that I'm going to finish so quickly. Wish they had 1000 pieces!

I am a registered blind puzzler. It takes me significantly longer than you! A 500 piece puzzle I have to work on in 5 to 10 minute stretches and usually takes me 2 to 3 months to complete.

This feels calming, productive and fun. Great for being a study buddy.

i can imagine how fun this must be! i also try to prolong my puzzling experience when im doing 500 piece puzzle so diving into several puzzles head first seems like a a great time! well... too bad i dont have that many puzzles to go on such puzzling marathon haha! my favourit from this batch is definitely the one from lemonade pursuit - the colors and the ilustration are just my thing ♥

This was a blast to watch. Looking forward to the next 500 challenges!

Thanks for sharing this fun challenge! I enjoyed the variety of *500* piece puzzles. I think I’d top out at about four hours and then need a stretch break.

Oooo the Lucky Charms puzzle looks so fun!

Wowie Wow Wow even though you did this awhile ago and I am just seeing I am so impressed I can’t even imagine doing one puzzle in a day let alone these that you conquered. I really like the design on some of these as well. I am just marveling over your talent it so much fun to watch your speed and true enjoyment. Thank you for sharing

Karen your awesome I could watch you 500 more times and never get bored. Rock on girl friend!!

Honestly well done Karen, the thought of this gives me such a headache tho because as someone who suffers from migraines I could never imagine doing this! Getting migraines really sucks as an artist and a puzzler I just always remember to never push myself even if I’m tempted! Anyway thank u for letting me experience this in a way through you! 😊

I haven't done a puzzle challenge like that, but I have gotten so obsessed with a puzzle that I worked on it from dawn to dusk. I would really like to try that 500 piece gradient puzzle. I have the 1000 piece one, but it would be fun to try the smaller one.

I adore Karen’s energy and commitment and she’s got me wanting to start puzzles, especially 500’s! Anybody know of any good companies in the U.K. that do puzzles similar to Areaware? They look absolutely stunning but I can’t justify the shipping!

Just love your videos!! Greetings from Greece!!
