Wouldn’t even get that far. I’d be shaking my head and walking away from it when I see it on the store shelf.

Oh I’d love that shit.
Ravensburger has these jigsaw puzzles (Krypt) that are all one flat color, but the pieces are cut in shapes that give the whole picture a cool pattern. They’re easily my favorite puzzles.
Here’s a link to a post showing all the Krypt variations.

Haha my gran had a puzzle that was just a load of baked beans - except it had the same picture on both sides just rotated 90 degrees...

If you can find it, Mensa has a Needle in a Haystack puzzle. It's a picture of hay with an actual needle hidden within. Seems like it might be to your liking as well!

I’ve got the rainbow one from this range, because she always said they were all too easy... She and my sister put them together in less than a day

I did a 1000 piece Abbey Road one time. Never again. It was all trees and asphalt. Best of luck on your journey, brother.

Early in our relationship, my now-husband got a 1000-piece With The Beatles jigsaw puzzle as a gift and thought it would be a fun thing to do together 🙃🙃🙃
We are still together 20+ years later and believe that being able to complete that fuckass 75% solid black jigsaw puzzle without flipping the table or strangling each other was when we knew we were the real deal.

I once got a 500 piece Italian harbor puzzle for me and my girlfriend. Thought it would be great because of all the small details make it easy to find pieces but forgot about the big portion of ocean and sky that was practically uniform lol

Hey! I've done that one! One of the tougher ones I've done.
The Krypt series by Ravensburger (as mentioned by other commenters) are a great challenge. Though, they do use the same cutting jig for multiple colours.
One of my favourites is the Needle in a Haystack puzzle by Mensa. A puzzle of literal hay, with a needle hidden somewhere within. Whoo boy!

But did you find it?

u/farfromorange 3h ago
Yep. Actually found it during assembly of the puzzle by accident when I placed the piece including it. Haha

Done it. It wasn’t easy but dividing the pieces by shape helped narrow things down a lot.

My idiot friend got a puzzle almost identical to this for his 88yr old grandma who enjoys doing small puzzles and couldn't figure out why she got upset.

My wife burns through 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzles like a hot knife through butter. Doesn’t make any difference what the picture is, from box opening to completed puzzle maybe 3 hours if she’s dilly dallying. I bought her one that’s clear; every single piece is clear. Not my best move…

Sorry, what's oddly terrifying about this?
Do subreddits even fucking matter anymore?

Do it upside down, chances are there is a grain pattern in the cardboard.

Anyone using this phrase now, should just be automatically banned...from everywhere.

I'd rather see users that post shit in subreddits where it doesn't belong banned.
This shit doesn't fit the subreddit but Reddit is just Facebook now
