Ravensburger Gradient Cascade Puzzle – 1000 Piece Challenge | Unique Softclick Technology | Artistic Design by Karen Kavett and Wes Cockx | Engaging Activity for Adults

This was my first puzzle inside a puzzle and it took me a bit to learn how to do it. Once I figured it out, it was fun and challenging. Ravensberger quality can't be beat.

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.

Another fabulous puzzle from Karen Puzzles.

We bought this for our 6YO, who is a big Karen Puzzles fan. It is a very satisfying puzzle, challenging but never frustrating or annoying. Karen's expertise is on full display, with helpful color contrasts and lines always providing different clues as to where pieces go. The difference between "normal" pieces for the outer part and "skewed" pieces for the mini-puzzles is also a nice touch. Our 6YO loved it, said it was his favorite puzzle hands down!

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.

This puzzle within a puzzle design is really a unique concept I haven't seen before, Karen Puzzles did a great job coming up with this idea. I love how vibrant the colors are as well. The puzzle wasn't too difficult but it did have an added challenge because of the curvy edge pieces, and the diagonal-cut pieces of the large puzzle-piece sections. Fun to put together.

The quality is of course great given how it’s Ravensburger. The puzzle piece cut outs function as a mini puzzle in themselves. The gradient makes the puzzle not frustrating to do due to there not being large single color areas to put together. Karen really made a fantastic puzzle!

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

Ich würde mehr Sterne geben, wenn ich könnte. Das Motiv, der Schnitt und die Farben - einfach genial. Ich hatte noch nie so einen Spaß beim puzzeln. Das hier ist ein bisschen schneller fertig geworden als die 1000er- Puzzles, die ich üblicherweise mache, aber das ist es mir wert.

It has weird-looking pieces and it was so fun!!

Can't grumble. It's a very high quality product that the puzzle fan in my life loved. Well worth adding to a puzzlers collection

Belle qualité

Ein sehr ausgefallenes schönes Puzzle, welches viel spaß macht beim zusammen setzen !
