Hey everyone!!! I'm back from nationals and had an amazing time!!! Many of these puzzles are limited quantities on the Ravensburger website and some are already sold out. I've heard some may come back in the fall. Either way I hope you enjoy the video and if you have questions about the event please comment below!!!

Hi! I paused mid-view to let you know that the llamas (or alpacas, I can't tell the difference) are standing in front of Machu Picchu, which is in the Andes in Peru. I have a soft spot for llamas, and for Peru, so I absolutely adore that tiny little puzzle you got!

Ah thank you!!! I wish there was more info on the box about this one cause it’s super cute!

My Mom is legally blind from Macular Degeneration. She still puzzles. I'd definitely be interested in hearing more about the puzzles for the blind.

The llamas are in Peru - specifically Machu Picchu.

Blue Kazoo is a very high quality puzzle brand. My complaint is the images are all very, very difficult (especially as 1000 piece puzzles).

Watched the nationals, there are crazy good puzzlers out there but you had really good times, I was impressed! Looking forward to seeing the puzzles for visually impaired people, I didn't know they existed!

They are so cool! They also designed flashcards for children in schools for the blind. Such a great company.

I did the fiesta food one in a 1000 piece version a few months back. So fun to see it play out in a competition!❤

@@thecasualpuzzler This is why I didn't purchase the really colorful "Sweet Sweet Puzzle" --- It would make me crave eating candy.

I watched the Nationals and pointed at the screen like that Leo DiCaprio meme when I saw you in the finals 😊

Thanks for the support!

I would not bought the blue "Celestial Constellations" puzzle by Elspeth McLean either. In the chat for the live stream, it was called "blue hell" in honor of the "orange hell" puzzle from Worlds 2023.

The UFO one is on my list!! So fun!!

Thanks for sharing! I like the new Ravensburger puzzles, especially Sweet Street, Pets of Palm Springs, and Busy Birdies. They're on my wishlist!

You and Laura did fab!!! I loved Jazzy- I really like the Mod art!

Me too!!

If you want to pronounce Ravensburger correctly, the "burger" part of the word also sounds differently. The "u" sounds like the sound in the word "blue".

I bought the "Air Balloon Valley" puzzle. It was such a beautiful puzzle!

I loved watching the competition live on you tube

I bought Jazzy. Waiting to receive it!

I really enjoyed watching you compete. Happy puzzling.

Had a great time watching the livestream. We were cheering you on in the live chat. I really liked the Fiesta Time (I love food puzzles) and Jazzy. I also liked Sweet Street but I can't do 1000 piece puzzles.

@thecasualpuzzler

Sweet Street would be such a fun puzzle if it was a 500 piece. I believe it was originally going to be but ended up being the 1000 piece for pairs instead.

I just realized I watched you on the livestream! Rooting for you guys to tie at 99 how awesome would that be. Great job I love how that puzzle looks!!

I have done UFO Victorian Ladies and it was such a fabulous puzzle to do. Enjoy!

I literally have no interest in speed puzzling, but I’d love to go and shop!!

I originally just signed up so I could have the puzzles at the end.

Oh some lovely puzzles that you did at Nationals. Love the Busy Birdies one, but the chances of getting it available in the UK is moot. Glad you did so well and got to the finals, an unexpected bonus for you. Naturally you came back with a stash of puzzles, you wouldn't have been able to resist getting some! Look forward to the video of your time at Nationals.

I came back with way less than I was expecting! Plus half were already apart of the cost of the convention.

Love the puzzles you picked up. Deans puzzles look like so much fun. I will pick up a few as well. Do you think will partake in any more speed puzzling events or was this something on your bucket list to complete?

@thecasualpuzzler

Maybe - depends on location and cost I think.

The artist of Busy Birdies said the image follows the life cycle. Check it out. Birth in the upper left and death in the bottom right. Did Dave get to go with you?

Oooo thank you! No Dave stayed home. Not really his thing and he got to hang out with the kitties.
