Very hard

My favorite puzzle that I have done! I cant wait to order another puzzle like this by Karen. The color variants make it so much fun to do. I framed this and put it up on my wall. Everyone that sees it comments on the vibrant colors.

Recipient said was unique and fun!

Karen has shone a light on the untapped creative potential of puzzle design. This is one of the best puzzles I've ever done. It's a real puzzler's puzzle, a unique and satisfying experience for people who have solved them all. There are lots of ways to analyze the pieces and figure out where they go. It's "meta puzzle" cut is way more interesting than a ribbon cut and more enjoyably predictable than a random cut. There are tons of "edge" pieces--everyone loves edge pieces! As a result, the puzzle has a lot of viable strategies, so however you solve it, you feel like it's "your" solution. There are no intricate details, so you don't need to refer to the box image as you go, which adds another layer of satisfaction as you organically figure out where the big pieces and color blocks belonged. (I actually did it upside down and never noticed!) I want more like this.

This is not your traditional puzzle. It is challenging but fun to assemble.

I really enjoyed completing this one. It’s quite challenging, but very enjoyable. I like how the pieces snap together nicely.

I'm not an avid puzzler but ran across Karen Puzzles on YouTube so I though I would give her puzzle a try. I've never done a puzzle without doing the border first. This puzzle has puzzles withing the puzzle so trying to find the edge pieces is very difficult. It was a lot of fun. Challenging and rewarding.My only complaint is that one of the pieces was missing and in it's place was a duplicate of a piece. So, we had 2 of the same piece which confused me about where it went until I realized it was the same exact piece.Overall, I would recommend this puzzle, I'm just disappointed there was a piece missing.

The puzzle within a puzzle idea is not one I've personally seen before. It was fun to do seven puzzles in one. Some of the pieces were certainly odd shapes which added a bit to the difficulty in putting them together.Sliding the puzzle pieces in after completing them separately was fun.
