Can we just do something fun? (Plus new exclusive puzzle vlog)
Added 2023-07-23 16:01:03 +0000 UTCHey Patreon. So let me tell you about todayβs video. I bought this cork puzzle from Sarah Schuler and was so excited to solve it. As I say in the video, the cork puzzles from Jane Wooster Scott are some of my favorites. I won't lie, even though it was an easy puzzle to solve, it was kind of a difficult video to edit. But in the end, I think it turned out ok. You can watch it here:
And then I filmed an exclusive vlog which has a little bit of everything - a mini puzzle haul, a look at how I reset my studio between videos, and some clips about how I design my thumbnails:
(I'll be going back and forth between the cork thumbnail and the dramatic thumbnail, so don't be alarmed if you see them swapping until I figure out which one is the most clickable!)
Stay tuned, because I have a ton of footage from Puzzle Camp the other week. I definitely want to edit it into a recap video, and Iβm sure Iβll be uploading some of the speed puzzling exclusively on here just for you guys. Just give me another week to sort through all of it!
And then, as I said in the video, Iβll be opening up the rare holographic puzzle next week. Usually when I look at a puzzle Iβll know a pretty good estimate of how long itβll take. But it's driving me crazy that I havenβt seen the pieces yet and so I have no idea if Iβll be there for four hours or four days. I guess weβll find out next week!
Oh, and if you missed it, I posted a TikTok reacting to a very rare vintage puzzle auction as the price went up and up and up. You will not believe what it ended up selling for. And, I found out who bought it.
And one more thing - tomorrow I'm getting a fairly high-profile shoutout. I'll be posting on my Instagram story about it, so stay tuned!

Thank you for letting me know!
2023-07-29 16:40:05 +0000 UTCHi Karen, a quick note for your German patrons and maybe viewers in general: your puzzles are currently available on the official german Ravensburger website for 20% off! That leaves the big one at 44β¬ and the smaller one at under 14β¬, pretty great prices imo. Here: https://www.ravensburger.de/produkte/puzzle/erwachsenenpuzzle/gradient-cascade-1000p-17498/index.html I don't know how long the 20% are valid though!
2023-07-29 15:49:53 +0000 UTCPlease reach out to Matt Parker from Stand Up Maths for the math puzzle. Tom Scott and him have either together before, so you have a contact to see if he'd be interested (which I'd be shocked if he wasn't).
