I had so much fun at the National Jigsaw Competition! Here is a retelling of my experience and strategies I used for the competitions. If you want to see the full live versions of the competitions check out ‪@usajigsaw‬ to watch! Also, sorry for the mic noise - next time I need to put it higher so it doesn't brush up against my shirt.

Nice recap, and nice to briefly meet you! I wish I could have chatted with Susan at the PW table longer. I felt like I was SO busy all weekend and never got the chance!

Good to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed yourself at the competition. 👍 Regardless of how you placed, taking part must have been quite thrilling. You were able to obtain lots of goodies as well. I wonder if the Air Balloon Valley puzzle will become available in the UK at some point. I'd love to be able to get it. I'll just have to wait and see. Look forward to your next video.

That looks like a lot of fun but too stressful for me lol. Do you get to keep the puzzles you competed with?

@thecasualpuzzler 22 күн бұрын

Ravensburger said that the puzzles (or at least most of them) will be get a full launch in the normal boxes (without the USA Nationals markings) this fall.
