One of my favorite hobbies are puzzles. The most popular is probably a thousand piece puzzle. I've put together Two Thousand pieces together before. I believe they can go up much higher. That being said, any puzzle fans here, and if so...what's the biggest you have put together?

My grandparents always had a puzzle being worked on their dining room table. I helped my grandmother do one that was 2500 pcs I think one time. Took about a month with about 10 visits. She would do a little when I wasn't there too. But aside from helping them when I was younger, I just don't get into it anymore. Maybe I should bc it was kind of relaxing to do.

Mine did as well.
I never stopped enjoying puzzles.
As I grew up, I moved on from reassembling jigsaw-cut pictures to more challenging puzzles.
During that time I spent I putting those jigsaw puzzles together, I just thought it was a fun way to pass time waiting for dinner; didn't realize it at the time but I was programming myself to perform pattern matching, chromatic and geometric sorting, and teaching myself a bunch of other techniques that would help me out throughout my life.

My wife is into puzzles now. She's doing 1000 piece ones, and when she gets done we get a frame and puzzle glue and frame them.

I wish I had more time for puzzles, but just too many other things going on these days. I have done a couple of 5,000 piece ones before.
The three most difficult I have ever done...
A U.S. flag made out of various postage stamps
A world map that was in German
A free-form puzzle in the shape of an eagle

I enjoy them, but don't really do them very often. Maybe once a year in the fall/winter on a rainy/dreary weekend, we'll work on one as a family. It's been a few years since we actually finished one though.
Daughter loves those 3D ones that are historic buildings.

Look up puzzle boxes on YouTube and go from there.
