    I would definitely have that one in a white frame and put it up on the wall in my hall near the light so that every time I turned it off I get this amazing picture in the dark.

    Thank you Ruth! 😃 It was definitely tough, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for using the guide - the Krypt puzzles are hard for sure. I only managed it with super heavy strategising and organising of the pieces, and believe me, organising is not my natural skill in life 😆

    Thank you! I do have to strategise pretty heavily to finish them, but that isn’t my natural way of puzzling generally - it does feel good finishing these off though. I think the stars on this one make it much more doable, give it a go and I’m sure you’ll be fine - plus there is always the guide if you need it 😊

    Thank you! It really is stunning to see it glow - the gold is the only cut I haven’t done in solid colour yet - well, and this one, but this one is the only one of this cut so far. I will try the Think Krypt 2 next, which is the same cut as gold, and a gorgeous blue colour 😍 All the best with your gold Krypt - I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching and enjoying 😍

    I did this one and it is my favorite Krypt yet! I did it without the guide and sorted out the edges, solid black, heavily star covered, and lightly starry. I just went back and forth between sections whenever I’d get stuck. Enjoyed it the whole time!

    I'm not a fan of the krypt puzzles because they are a solid color, however, that one really is a neat puzzle cut. I like the circles and the stars give it some visual interst. I still probably won't get that one but it is neat to look at. :) The only krypt I have is the gradient lol

    I can definitely understand being put off by solid colour - I find, with Krypts, that it’s the cut that makes it interesting for me. I think, perhaps, they are the only solid colour puzzles I will do…maybe. I like that there are at lease a couple with visual detail though - this one included. I agree, the cut is really cool on this one 😍

    I have the Silver coming and from what I saw on the website that I get a lot of my puzzles from; Ravensburger is no longer going to be manufacturing this one. So if that's the case I'm happy that I was able to get it after grappling with if I was ever going to purchase it or not. I'm looking forward to the challenge!

I think that’s a great thing to do 😊 I’m so glad you enjoy my videos - thank you for watching x

    Would love to try this one, but they are sold out (Brazil). Loved the stars and the glow in the dark aspect. I did the gold one, it was hard and i didn't sort the pieces at the begging but once I did, it was fine.

    Ah, that’s a shame they are sold out! Hopefully they will restock soon. I would definitely recommend this one, it’s so lovely 🥰 I would agree with you - I think sorting is a must with Krypts, even just a rough one can really help - I don’t think I’d manage them without the guides otherwise 😆 Well done on your gold one. Haven’t tried that cut in solid colour yet! But I will 😃

    I have a NY, NY panoramic glow-in- the dark puzzle. The pieces are very chunky. The glow-in-the-dark spots are encrypted, or blended, into the pieces. It looks beautiful in the dark. On the other hand, I had a Seahorses puzzle where the glow spots were on top of the finished pieces and didn’t glow so beautifully. I am wondering how this Krypt puzzle's "glow spots" are made...??

  • @Vickymakesandbuilds

    @Vickymakesandbuilds

    4 ай бұрын

    Honestly I don’t know Betty - they are normal thickness Ravensburger pieces and the glow in the dark bit feels like a rough, textured layer on the top. My guess, therefore, is that they are on top, but I’m not sure I understand what you mean when you say they are encrypted into the pieces, so it’s hard to say. I can say that it glows beautifully though 😍

    Congratulations on getting it done Vicky, rather you than me! I have no interest whatsoever in solid colour puzzles although this one did have a touch of colour. I did get a little dizzy when you kept swooping your camera from side to side. 😵‍💫 The glow in the dark was rather spectacular! I recently did a rather vivid puzzle called Cheshire Cat by Clementoni, ref. no. 35123 if you wish to look it up. Look forward to your next video.

I never thought I’d like solid colour puzzles, but there is something different about the Krypts, I really do like them 😍 Apologies for the camera swooping, this is something I need to fix - when I’m in full explanation mode I forget how much my camera is moving about - I will try to fix that moving forward 😍

    😉 All will be revealed in my next puzzle haul! It does look amazing when it’s finished - I think because of the focus on circles, the Krypts have to have wonky pieces, but in a big way, the shapes of the pieces are the key to figuring them out to be honest 😍

    I ve never found krypt difficult or understood the fuss about them. You simply start in the middle and work outward. Certainly not the big deal people think they are. It's just a different way of puzzling ie by shape.
