I did Mystic Maze with a friend last week! Loved it! I definitely want to build another Magic Puzzle Company set sometime!
Do you think there are gigantic pieces in all of them?
Possibly - I think they are a similar concept, but I'm not sure. I'll tag you at the top in case someone else can answer.
Thanks for watching my Faves of the Year!!! I'd love for you to share some of your favorites in the comments!
I am new to the Casual Puzzler group, as of today. I was amazed at the variety of puzzle brands that you shared! I buy most of my puzzles at thrift stores, so perhaps that is why I haven’t seen many of the brands you shared.
Excited to join fellow puzzlers!
I find Buffalo Games a lot in thrift stores too. I especially love finding the Charles Wysocki puzzles. I just got one last weekend at a thrift store. My favorite Buffalo Games puzzles are the Aimee Stewart puzzles! I don't see them in thrift stores, so I buy them at retail. Currently, I'm working on Buffalo Games Aimee Stewart "Cookies and Cocoa." So fun and pretty!
It's also refreshing to hear a fellow puzzler say they love sky. Puzzling friends online don't get why I like sky. I can't explain it, but I gravitate toward it.
I love sky !
Right?!? I find sky so calming but also so satisfying to put together!
You introduced me to the Mystic Maze! :D It's winging its way to my address right now 😆💕🧩 Happy New Year! 🎆🥂
YES!!! Magic puzzle!!! My very fav!!!! AHHHHHH!!!
I want to get more but my bursting collection is telling me to wait. They all look so fun!
Yay Mystic Maze! If you do another one, I highly recommend The Secret Soup. It's been my absolute favorite Magic Puzzle Company one that I've tried.
You are the second one who has mentioned that one!! On the wishlist it goes!
Yeah Buffalo!
I don’t hear people praising them but as a new puzzle obsessive, I like them because you can pick up and move sections.
I'd say its hit or miss with me. I have had some where they were incredibly crumbly, but sometimes you get a good one!
Nice to hear your interest in learning about the artists. I am one of them, and I have puzzle videos playing all the time to learn about the puzzlers! …so thanks for your content and happy new year!
Your Masterpieces Puzzle Emporium has been on my wish list.
Very cool!
My goal is to reduce my buying and actually complete the puzzles in my collection as well. Though I am always so interested in trying new brands that sometimes its hard to balance both those goals! Loved your Villager Puzzle and as someone who lives in BC, the images really appeal to me. they'll be on my list of new brands to try for sure!
Yes! I really want to do some on my shelves.
I love the Ravensburger’s with the large pieces. It’s such a fun puzzling experience. I just got the 500 large piece Christmas Birds so I am looking forward to doing that as well. I need to do some of my older puzzles as well. I am planning to do lots of Puzzling for the New Years Weekend so hopefully I can knock out a few. I am normally not the fastest puzzler so we will see how this goes. I would love to participate in a puzzle thon with you. Maybe your subscribers would also want to participate. How many puzzles could we collectively do in a weekend?? Love thinking about puzzle goals for 2024 and have to remember to not compare myself to others and set my own goals. Wishing you continued blessings for success and joy.
That's a great idea for a future live or as a Facebook group challenge. Yes to setting your own goals!! If I didn't have a channel mine probably wouldn't be so hefty.
I too should stop buying puzzles for a bit and work on what I’ve got. But it’s so hard when there are so many beautiful puzzles out there! And what if they become unavailable! LOL. Having a good puzzle collection is not the worst thing in the world I guess. I just bought that dr Seuss one, waiting for it to arrive. And I did mystic maze recently and loved it.
There are much worse things I could be spending my money on!
Yay! I've done 2 Magic Puzzle Company puzzles (The Forest Feast and The Happy Isles). They're so much fun with all the little details and Easter eggs scattered throughout the images. And the quality is great!
Glad you like them!
A nice review! You have some great brands and images there. I was never a big fan of Buffalo but that has changed a lot lately. they have been easy for me to find and I've been pleasantly surprised. Your stats are amazing. Two of my favorite artists are Ciro Marchetti and Demelsa Haughton.
Thanks for sharing!! Buffalo games is growing on me. Although they can be hit or miss with quality.
Ok I love this video- Im not allowing myself to shop till Oct/Nov (when advents come out hahaha) I have a for real crap ton of puzzles right now and no need to shop!!! AAAHHHHH
You got this!
I have the moon one as well, the sky was more fun then I was expecting but the moons were a bit of a challenge. Great review! I’m going to try a few!
Glad you liked it too!
I came across your channel a while back and have really enjoyed your content.❤
Awesome! Thank you!
I loved the Cat Balloon Race! It was so much fun!🎉
It's so good!
Demelsa Haughton is a fab artist and I think you would love her puzzles. My goal this year is to not buy any puzzles to get my to do pile down 😊
Thank you! Not buying any puzzles is always a challenge!
Love this! Inspiring.
Thanks!
I loved the 24 hour puzzle along it is one of my favorite puzzle related events this year. My favorite artists are Demelsa Haughton and Aimee Stewart. I am with you on the no spending. I have said I have to reduce my do pile by half before I get any more. I currently have 47 to do and two more coming. I really enjoy your videos.
It's so hard to not buy sometimes!! There are so many awesome puzzles!
My favorite is Masterpieces I love a lot of their images. The quality of the pieces has mostly been good. I love the Masterpieces images of artist Bonnie White; especially her pictures of an earlier time period of people riding in a horse and buggy & their 1800s clothes, etc.. My goal is also to reduce my buying and instead work on my huge collection of mostly undone puzzles. I also like the artists Aimee Stewart, David Maclean, Tracy Flickinger, & Charles Wysocki. My next favorite is the images of Ceaco puzzles. As always I loved your video especially your goal of talking about puzzle artists. I like that you always come up with different & interesting content for your videos. I appreciate that you include puzzles with below 1k pieces also.
Thank you for sharing all that info! I love a good Charles Wysocki and Aimee Stewart but have not heard of the others.
@@thecasualpuzzler Artist Tracy Flickinger & David Maclean do Ceaco puzzles
I have the cat balloons puzzle but I haven’t done it yet. I’m happy to know it made your top 10!!
It's so fun!
Hi,my favourite puzzle of the year is bright new york city by enjoy,a challenging puzzle but the quality is so good it made it great fun.Happy new year to you all!
Happy New Year!
This was my first year of puzzling since childhood. I think my favorite puzzle this year was Petey Penguin by OCS design, it was a bit challenging, but I loved the image so much that it was nice to spend so much time with it. I love listening to your goals. I'm trying to decide what my goals will be for the year, but reducing my To-Do pile is one for sure.
Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed this video.Some of your favorites are now on my wish list. I have the Downtown by Clemontoni, but I need to do some smaller ones now for the winter bingo! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year!!
Great job on all those accomplishments! I managed to reach my goal of 10K pieces. I worked mostly on my larger piece puzzles, and just a couple smaller piece ones. I think I've hit 5k on my 60k puzzle. Also working on an 8k, a 3k, and a 32K. I need psych help obviously. Happy New Year!
Nice job!
Do you count the puzzles you've done in your to-do list? Are you looking to have a set number of - oh I love this and can do it again and again!
I keep track of every puzzle I've done in my excel sheet.
👍🏻👍🏻❤️
omg thats bonkers!! I put my goal as 25k because I didn't know where to start hahaha
That's awesome! If I didn't have a channel my goal would be much lower.
you did the 24 hour puzzlethon?? i had my eye out for it and thought you had decided not to do it, i guess i must have missed it :(
Yes I did! It was back in September. I had posted it on the facebook group, here, and on my instagram. Sorry you missed it! It's still up as a past live on my channel though.
I did not see your magic puzzle you tube. Still can't find it, do you remember the title?

@@thecasualpuzzler thank you
Have you gone on a hot air balloon ride?
No!! It is a bucket list item. I've only been in a basket during a Hot Air Balloon festival. When we lived in Cali hot air balloons flew over our house almost daily and often would land in our neighborhood.
@@thecasualpuzzler very cool, they are so fun to watch. I think it would be very quiet and peaceful to do.
What?!?!? No MasterPieces?
It was very tough competition and hard to choose just 10 out of almost 200 puzzles.
