There's always a moment in every puzzle-laying experience where you're 100% sure a piece is missing because you cannot find it anywhere. Until you find it, super obviously, right there staring back at you. :P
@@Bearleena this is my biggest fear when working a puzzle - that I accidentally vacuumed one up! I have found pieces on the floor while vacuuming but so far have not vacuumed up any.
I try…really try not to panic and think there is a missing piece but every puzzle it happens. One-hundred percent sure! Lol. Of all the puzzles I’ve done it’s been maybe three where I was sure it wasn’t user error.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief when you said you'd marked all the pieces so you could sort them in case of needing help. Some might accuse that of being a form of cheating, but I was just dreading the possibility that you might have to abandon the challenge and then potential future owners of the puzzles might have just wound up with a _colorful_ mess that couldn't be solved. Glad to see you managed the challenge though.
@@esmaystokhof I wholeheartedly agree. I was just anticipating that some people might consider it cheating; you know what UA-cam comments can be like sometimes, there's probably people who would try to claim even opening up the possibility of being able to cheat is akin to cheating.
I can't believe you mentioned "I Love Hue"! Whenever I see one of your gradient puzzle videos, I always think about how cool it would be to have a gradient puzzle in the style of "I Love Hue" where each piece is its own solid color, but they come together to form a gradient! I have no clue how something like that would be manufactured, I just think it's a super fun idea.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ are you people bots or are you genuinely out here manually copy pasting Bible verses into random UA-cam comments as if that’s going to convert anyone to Christianity?
"Should be easy enough" - Karen clearly hasn't learned anything from her previous videos, because uttering those words on this channel has never ended well lol
From the beginning (or really from when I saw sneak peaks before this) I thought that this would be a nightmare. As it turns out, the three puzzles were colorful in different ways, so it wasn’t as bad as I feared it would be. I’m still not doing it, though.
@@davidlove236 I felt like if you started solving individual colors, you'd eventually find blocks that'd fit together eventually (which then becomes a much simpler puzzle), so I stopped worrying pretty soon after she mixed the pieces up. The preview also took out a lot of the worry since it was showing she actually made progress somehow
This was incredible to watch this challenge Karen! We appreciate making the Gradient Therapy Collection the next level of challenge. Most of all, glad you had fun❤️ Thank you so much!
I was lost in admiration for how well you were doing a puzzle challenge I would never even attempt, when it hit me--not only are you doing all three puzzles, but you also have to record and edit an entertaining video of all that work! You make it look so simple that it's easy to forget the staggering amount of other work you do on puzzling! All admiration here for the great job you do.
I took HEAVY mental damage when you mixed the puzzles up, until you revealed that you put a dot on the back. That was a big relief. I would never take on such a COLORFUL challenge. I don't think I could do it. You are definitely the Puzzle Queen! Great work Karen!
A puzzle challenge i think you'd enjoy is the "talking jigsaw puzzle". My grandma sent us one awhile ago, and it was a lot of fun! It's designed to be a big office building with windows, and it's cut such that all the windows can fit together, but there's only one way that they make sense. You get a bunch of little cartoon speech bubbles, signs, and visual gags, that all add up to tell you where things are in relation to each other. I remember really enjoying it, and it seems right up your alley!
I just had an idea for a fun puzzle after watching you do three at once. Imagine if a puzzle company made interlocking puzzles where you could remove the edge pieces and connect multiple puzzles together to form a huge design. You could put together buildings that eventually form Diagon Alley or create an intricate map of Middle Earth one realm at a time. Okay, maybe my nerd is showing but I would definitely buy something like that. 🙂💕
I bought my friend a puzzle that’s called “Lost in a Jigsaw”. The entire puzzle is a maze and there is one correct solution but the puzzle fits together in multiple incorrect ways. Looks super fun
Colorful. I love "I love Hue too" it's so fun and challenging at times, but one of my favorite things about it is the layout and different level symbols. It's just so pretty and satisfying to look at. I'm so happy you know about it, I'm just now realizing how well the game suits you!
Yes!!! I finished both games because I played it so often while watching TV, and I'm so sad because I can't find any other mobile games with the same concept :(
ok but can we talk about how each time you finish a level with the fewest possible moves it just RAINS you with affirmations, like it really has been leveling-up my self-esteem 😂
I think your next challenge to should be to solve a jigsaw in the style of Kristin: one-handed, looking only for the exact piece and never trying different things, seeming to be very slow but actually very fast and looking so bored that you have to hold your head up with your other hand.
@@kyarumomochi5146 I mean, most flags are 3 colors. Seeing 3 colors next to each other is going to set off some recognition in your brain, intentional or not. I'd bet if they said this about the flags of countries, you wouldn't have commented this.

Definitely enjoyed I Love Hue Too more than the original. Later stages in the original felt like I was fighting the color accuracy of my phone more than solving the actual challenges. The greater shape variety in the sequel alleviated that issue.
it’s really great that u noticed subtle differences between the 3 puzzles! i could never i would just go in blind and then give up within 10 minutes of starting 😅
I love the colorful gradient puzzles you've done. My family has just started puzzling together and we have finished 9 puzzles in the last month so maybe we'll tackle a gradient soon. Funnily enough your channel popped up for me after the first couple puzzles we did.
This was so satisfying to watch. Can we appreciate for a second how beautifully edited this video is. You are truly a master of puzzle timelapses. Will come back and rewatch if my day needs to become a little bit more colorful.
For us Karen, you do it for us. We never asked you to, but that's not the point. Your heart's in the right place, and that's what's important! Seriously though, I found your channel not that long ago, and you're a lot of fun!
I love how dramatic you were at the beginning xD Also at first I didn't even realised that all of those *colorful* puzzles are going to be rectangular. I thought that the bean one is going to be bean-shaped for example! Also² I really loved the music in this video
You sitting on the table at 29:45 was definitely my favorite part of this COLORFUL puzzle video!! Love you, Karen. Thanks for these excellent de-stress moments added to my life!! 😻🥰🤗❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I skipped around a bit, but I really enjoyed two different aspects: (a) the puzzle combination idea and (b) your video-making skills - such great editing, pacing, transitions, audio, and more!
I feel like you are the ultimate puzzle-solving person. Not just that you're very skilled at it but the vibes- you seem so very sweet, bubbly, and intelligent in a way that makes me really enjoy watching you solve puzzles. I very much hope you're having as much fun as you seem to be!
I always start a karen puzzle's video by saying "oh I'll just watch the first few minutes...." and then always end up finishing it without realizing time has passed at all. Great job with this! I knew you could just nail those colorful transitions :D also loved the subtle nod in there, #transisbeautiful ! Made me so happy
Thank you for flipping them over. It would have bothered me so much not knowing if there had been any mixups in these lovely colorful puzzles. 😆 I have gotten puzzles with extra pieces twice. I have also gotten one with missing pieces. The one with missing pieces were missing 3 but had 3 duplicates, so the number of pieces were correct. It was very frustrating.
Even though this puzzle must be stressful to put together, I find this video calming to watch and listen to. There's something about watching the colorful gradient fall into place as the music goes, or hearing your running commentary of distress and triumph.
It's always astounding to me how much time and effort you put into putting these puzzles together and filming/editing the process for us! Thank you, Karen - your personality and your videos make for the perfect entertainment!
This was so satisfying from beginning to end. Starting with the relief knowing you had an out with the dots on the back, the tricks, your enjoyment, flipping to confirm the dots were there, flipping back flawlessly, the creativity of mixing it up… this was visual asmr.
I am currently trying to finish a 1000 pieces puzzle, relaxing activity, and the image is pretty, but let's say 60% of it is made out of three different solid colours. I've organised all the pieces by shape, but I usually try 70+ pieces just to place one haha. Trying to finish it with my boyfriend is still pretty fun! I'm really admirative of what you're doing here, that's impressive. I probably wouldn't even have the motivation to mark all the pieces!
I saw the title to this video. My first thought was “what did you do??” I maintain that your ability to concentrate and not get overwhelmed is basically a superpower. I am learning from you
I'm just gonna share a thought that I had today. Do you always look this nice while doing puzzles? When I'm doing a puzzle I sit here in my ugly and stained joggers in my bed and look like I haven't left my room for a week... well sometimes I don't tbh 😂But really, am I the only one?
I don't know why youtube recommended this to me because I never do puzzles and I'm ridiculously bad at them. But this makes me want to finally try to work on that puzzle I got a couple years ago for Christmas🤣 Very impressive video!
If you want to take the next step in terms of challenges, do my favorite one. Ask someone to choose 2 or 3 puzzles (of the same manufacturer) and mix all pieces in one bag and not give you the boxes/pictures. Go blind. It is so much fun! Piece by piece, you discover what the images are... but instruct the person not to choose gradient ones, those are too easy and the picture is not too exciting once revealed. Have fun!!!
It's a bright day out. You: > go outside and take a walk > go to the beach > hang out with some friends *> go puzzling cus you can see the color differences much better*
It’s weird when you find an extra piece in a puzzle - usually the missing piece fear is ever present, but never do I anticipate an extra one. I got an extra in my 9k Disney Museum - I sincerely hope yours doesn’t have any missing, but if it does, let me know - I might have it! 😆 wouldn’t it be nice to reunite a missing piece with it’s proper puzzle? 😍. Loved the video - very colourful (British spelling 😊)
Im going to be honest, this is not my side of UA-cam. I dont know why this ended up on my reccommended four seperate times. However, I clicked because i thought it was either clickbait or you had gone insane. And honestly am very suprised it was neither. I could have never done this, even watching you mix the puzzles in the begining took my breath away. I can barely do normal, picture-jigsaw puzzles without getting frustrated and leaving it for days on end until my stubborness demands i finish. Anyway, TLDR; Not my side of UA-cam, No idea why Im here, but you are impressive and i dont regret clicking.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that gets extra pieces sometimes!! I was so confused while working on my Harry Potter puzzle because I had a piece that just didn't fit anywhere, and then I realized it was already put in the puzzle.
So many satisfying parts to this video! Every time you finished a colour, then a whole puzzle, then all 3 puzzles, then the flips. Found myself smiling a bunch,
You can see that you really enjoyed doing that challenge. You didn't really struggle with it at all and it was so amazingly colourful (sorry but I have to spell it the British way or it looks wrong 🙂)
What an awesome challenge! It was so fun to see you solve it, and marking the pieces was really smart. As for the puzzles themselves, hearing that false fits are a possibility are a bit disappointing for me as I don't have great lighting at my place, so having the right fit fills me with more confidence!
For some reason this brought back memories of when i would walk to my community library and solve puzzles with little old ladys for hours at a time...... yeah
I only found your channel a day ago, but im in love. Puzzles have been a huge staple in my life for a long time, it was a huge family tradition all the time and specifically at Christmas. I have a major urge to do a puzzle now
I adore Soonness puzzles. I've done all three of these and while gradients are typically not super challenging, these definitely have their moments even on their own (especially the creamy colored parts around the outside of the box and bean). You are brave 😆
@@20erzet00 they’re great! Kind of unique. They use recycled cardboard but they have sort of a foam board squish feel to them? In a good way lol the fits are super tight.
25:43, I LOVE your edits, and this is a wonderful example!! Just your hand on piece after piece across the last row to go in. Brilliant!! You're a great editor as well as puzzler!! 🤗🤩😍🥰😻
It’s 12:44 AM on January 1st, 2023. I am spending my New Year, drunk, eating Mac n Cheese, and watching this recommended video to me. I have never watched a puzzle video in my life. Worth 😂😂
This looks like so much fun! I've only done the cloudberries gradient puzzle but I loved it. Three gradient puzzles at once sounds amazing. I'm glad you had a good time doing this!
This reminds me of a scene from Cabin Pressure: Arthur: We’ve already done the two [puzzles] I brought so now we’ve mixed up the pieces and we’re doing them both together. Martin: What, to make one - big - Arthur: That’s what I hoped too, but no it looks like they’re coming out the same.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done! The challenge was really neat, and the cinematography of the pieces, especially the mixing in the beginning, was just so beautiful to watch. These colorful puzzles were very pretty and I like that they all had something different about them that helped you differentiate which pieces went where. That said, it also really eased my mind seeing you put the failsafe of marking the backs with different color dots before you mixed them all. Great job Karen!
Colourful! This video was genuinely so satisfying to watch, I barely felt like skipping anything, which is rare for long videos! I usually don’t watch puzzle content, I just happened to find this video one day and it’s made many days better and easier, by just watching someone solve puzzles and sincerely having so much fun soothed me. Thank you
Colorful… I’m still on the fence because I loathe false fits but Jellybean is so pretty!!! I think I have to get it and trust I have the skills. Love the music, btw.
I used to do This with all my puzzles as a kid, because I had gotten bored doing the same ones hundreds of times. I loved it! Obviously they weren’t as big as these puzzles, but I understand giving yourself a challenge. Good luck!!!
I put together a puzzle once that was all different color paint drips. That was really satisfying to finish. I can't even *imagine how hard it would be to combine with a similar puzzle! 😅
I haven’t watched the video yet but it seems really cool, what I would do to solve them would be to sort out the edges first(of course, always start with edges) and then sort the edge and middle peices into their colors, then start trying to solve them…
Like greens go in the greens pile, reds go in the reds pile, two color peices either all two colors go together, whichever peice has more color goes in that one(eg. 40% blue, 60% green, green pile) or all of the same two colors(all green/blue or all red/orange) go in their seperate piles
Dear Karen, i want to say a veryyy big thank you!! you made me love puzzles!I love watching your videos. so far i have solved over 50 puzzles. again thank you very much! you are the best youtuber in the whole world! i have watched all your videos! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I now fully understand how intelligent cats are, favoring sitting in boxes. That was one big colorful puzzle. Good luck to the people who try that as well. 🤟
Um....Okay. I honestly didn't think you could do this! I've never watched you before but you are SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO good at puzzles! Whenever I do puzzles, I always have to try one piece in several different places, but you know EXACTLY where to put it on the first time! INSANE! XD I'm definitely subscribing! I wanna see more!
my brother and i used to do that after we'd worked puzzles so much we knew them. we'd also flip them over and work them with no picture at all. we only had about 10 puzzles and we'd work them constantly. lol
32:16 The middle one looks like a slightly different cut, the second piece on the top looks like it is off center where the other 2 look centered at the knob.
Well done Karen knew you’d do it you are the queen of gradients. I struggle with one puzzle once i get more experience i might consider it. A very colourful episode.
I saw Karen mix all the puzzles on tiktok and immediately thought it was a bad idea, but with video she proves she has an amazing ability in making puzzles 🥰
There's always a moment in every puzzle-laying experience where you're 100% sure a piece is missing because you cannot find it anywhere. Until you find it, super obviously, right there staring back at you. :P
I was 10000% sure that edge piece was missing. And then…..it was literally right there
In my case, if it seems to be missing I really need to check my vacuum cleaner first.
When she recorded the missing piece, I could also see the other missing piece right there above it. XD So funny.
@@Bearleena this is my biggest fear when working a puzzle - that I accidentally vacuumed one up! I have found pieces on the floor while vacuuming but so far have not vacuumed up any.

I never realized puzzling can be a spectator sport! I'm really enjoying your videos. And I have about 20 new puzzles on my to-buy list! ❤
Solving the inside of a puzzle completely, before doing the edge looks so satisfying :)
Thank you for flipping them over. It would have bothered me so much not knowing if there had been any mixups in these lovely colorful puzzles. 😆
I have gotten puzzles with extra pieces twice. I have also gotten one with missing pieces.
The one with missing pieces were missing 3 but had 3 duplicates, so the number of pieces were correct. It was very frustrating.

I'm just gonna share a thought that I had today. Do you always look this nice while doing puzzles? When I'm doing a puzzle I sit here in my ugly and stained joggers in my bed and look like I haven't left my room for a week... well sometimes I don't tbh 😂But really, am I the only one?
When I’m not filming, I look exactly like you 😂
Normally I only start with edges with a straight edge along with each corner piece but I totally see why you started with contrasting colours
I don't know why youtube recommended this to me because I never do puzzles and I'm ridiculously bad at them. But this makes me want to finally try to work on that puzzle I got a couple years ago for Christmas🤣
Very impressive video!
If you want to take the next step in terms of challenges, do my favorite one. Ask someone to choose 2 or 3 puzzles (of the same manufacturer) and mix all pieces in one bag and not give you the boxes/pictures. Go blind. It is so much fun! Piece by piece, you discover what the images are... but instruct the person not to choose gradient ones, those are too easy and the picture is not too exciting once revealed. Have fun!!!
This was seriously breath taking to watch
Never seen anyone in my life could make watching some put together puzzle pieces this interesting!
It's a bright day out. You:
> go outside and take a walk
> go to the beach
> hang out with some friends
*> go puzzling cus you can see the color differences much better*
It’s weird when you find an extra piece in a puzzle - usually the missing piece fear is ever present, but never do I anticipate an extra one. I got an extra in my 9k Disney Museum - I sincerely hope yours doesn’t have any missing, but if it does, let me know - I might have it! 😆 wouldn’t it be nice to reunite a missing piece with it’s proper puzzle? 😍. Loved the video - very colourful (British spelling 😊)
Im going to be honest, this is not my side of UA-cam. I dont know why this ended up on my reccommended four seperate times.
However, I clicked because i thought it was either clickbait or you had gone insane. And honestly am very suprised it was neither. I could have never done this, even watching you mix the puzzles in the begining took my breath away. I can barely do normal, picture-jigsaw puzzles without getting frustrated and leaving it for days on end until my stubborness demands i finish.
Anyway, TLDR;
Not my side of UA-cam, No idea why Im here, but you are impressive and i dont regret clicking.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that gets extra pieces sometimes!! I was so confused while working on my Harry Potter puzzle because I had a piece that just didn't fit anywhere, and then I realized it was already put in the puzzle.
I love how these are gradient puzzles, but with more interesting designs than just being one gradient. They’re gorgeous!
So many satisfying parts to this video! Every time you finished a colour, then a whole puzzle, then all 3 puzzles, then the flips. Found myself smiling a bunch,
I've gotten a Revensburger puzzle with an extra piece before and it was SO confusing at first.
your videos are my guilty pleasure, thank you for the time you spend making these :)
Wow. I don't think I've ever seen anyone save the edge pieces for last! You did great haha! Kinda soothing and relaxing to watch.
You can see that you really enjoyed doing that challenge. You didn't really struggle with it at all and it was so amazingly colourful (sorry but I have to spell it the British way or it looks wrong 🙂)
I spell it like colour as well because it looks better and also I'm kinda British lol
I love "I love hue". I have both on my phone and it's so relaxing ♡
What an awesome challenge! It was so fun to see you solve it, and marking the pieces was really smart. As for the puzzles themselves, hearing that false fits are a possibility are a bit disappointing for me as I don't have great lighting at my place, so having the right fit fills me with more confidence!
For some reason this brought back memories of when i would walk to my community library and solve puzzles with little old ladys for hours at a time...... yeah
I only found your channel a day ago, but im in love. Puzzles have been a huge staple in my life for a long time, it was a huge family tradition all the time and specifically at Christmas. I have a major urge to do a puzzle now
I adore Soonness puzzles. I've done all three of these and while gradients are typically not super challenging, these definitely have their moments even on their own (especially the creamy colored parts around the outside of the box and bean). You are brave 😆
What was the quality of the pieces? I'm thinking of buying the box one
@@20erzet00 they’re great! Kind of unique. They use recycled cardboard but they have sort of a foam board squish feel to them? In a good way lol the fits are super tight.
25:43, I LOVE your edits, and this is a wonderful example!! Just your hand on piece after piece across the last row to go in. Brilliant!! You're a great editor as well as puzzler!! 🤗🤩😍🥰😻
So so SO colourful! Just absolutely love the technique
It’s 12:44 AM on January 1st, 2023. I am spending my New Year, drunk, eating Mac n Cheese, and watching this recommended video to me. I have never watched a puzzle video in my life. Worth 😂😂
This looks like so much fun! I've only done the cloudberries gradient puzzle but I loved it. Three gradient puzzles at once sounds amazing. I'm glad you had a good time doing this!
When I was kid I done my wood puzzles so many times that I mixed them all together to make it a little harder 😂😂 this video made me remember this😅 😊
This reminds me of a scene from Cabin Pressure:
Arthur: We’ve already done the two [puzzles] I brought so now we’ve mixed up the pieces and we’re doing them both together.
Martin: What, to make one - big -
Arthur: That’s what I hoped too, but no it looks like they’re coming out the same.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done! The challenge was really neat, and the cinematography of the pieces, especially the mixing in the beginning, was just so beautiful to watch. These colorful puzzles were very pretty and I like that they all had something different about them that helped you differentiate which pieces went where. That said, it also really eased my mind seeing you put the failsafe of marking the backs with different color dots before you mixed them all. Great job Karen!
Loved the little art bonus at the end! Very creative
You’ve got me looking at various colorful gradient puzzles to try. I’ve never done one 😊
Colourful! This video was genuinely so satisfying to watch, I barely felt like skipping anything, which is rare for long videos! I usually don’t watch puzzle content, I just happened to find this video one day and it’s made many days better and easier, by just watching someone solve puzzles and sincerely having so much fun soothed me. Thank you
24:36 so satisfying and the # so wholesome! You are awesome :3 great video!
PS: I started puzzling cause of your videos and I love it!
Great video Karen! Your choice of music is always so calming. I wish more puzzles had a matte finish like these have. So Colourful! 🥰
Colorful…
I’m still on the fence because I loathe false fits but Jellybean is so pretty!!! I think I have to get it and trust I have the skills.
Love the music, btw.
I used to do
This with all my puzzles as a kid, because I had gotten bored doing the same ones hundreds of times. I loved it! Obviously they weren’t as big as these puzzles, but I understand giving yourself a challenge. Good luck!!!
As a colorblind person, this is my personal hell
literally immediately obsessed with ur cinematography
Out of Context Karen: “Ok, ow! That is cardboard, poking into my cheek.”
That art made at the end was so cool
I put together a puzzle once that was all different color paint drips. That was really satisfying to finish. I can't even *imagine how hard it would be to combine with a similar puzzle! 😅
I really enjoyed this vid! Thank you for your time filming this!❤
Omg what a challenge! But the end result is so worth it x3 Seems like a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed it :D
I haven’t watched the video yet but it seems really cool, what I would do to solve them would be to sort out the edges first(of course, always start with edges) and then sort the edge and middle peices into their colors, then start trying to solve them…
Like greens go in the greens pile, reds go in the reds pile, two color peices either all two colors go together, whichever peice has more color goes in that one(eg. 40% blue, 60% green, green pile) or all of the same two colors(all green/blue or all red/orange) go in their seperate piles
A 39 minute video? Omg so much information to taken I LOVE IT!
This is such an overlooked thing, but I love the music she picks for the Timelapses.
Dear Karen, i want to say a veryyy big thank you!! you made me love puzzles!I love watching your videos. so far i have solved over 50 puzzles. again thank you very much! you are the best youtuber in the whole world! i have watched all your videos! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I now fully understand how intelligent cats are, favoring sitting in boxes. That was one big colorful puzzle. Good luck to the people who try that as well. 🤟
Um....Okay. I honestly didn't think you could do this! I've never watched you before but you are SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO good at puzzles! Whenever I do puzzles, I always have to try one piece in several different places, but you know EXACTLY where to put it on the first time! INSANE! XD I'm definitely subscribing! I wanna see more!
To be fair, I always pre-plan the closeups so you're not seeing me try wrong pieces for ages. I try pieces in the wrong spot all the time!
my brother and i used to do that after we'd worked puzzles so much we knew them. we'd also flip them over and work them with no picture at all. we only had about 10 puzzles and we'd work them constantly. lol
32:16 The middle one looks like a slightly different cut, the second piece on the top looks like it is off center where the other 2 look centered at the knob.
I am so psyched to try the 'I love hue' games. Colourful and sorting in one? Amazing.
Well done Karen knew you’d do it you are the queen of gradients. I struggle with one puzzle once i get more experience i might consider it. A very colourful episode.
I saw Karen mix all the puzzles on tiktok and immediately thought it was a bad idea, but with video she proves she has an amazing ability in making puzzles 🥰
