Ravensburger Gradient Cascade Puzzle – 1000 Piece Challenge | Unique Softclick Technology | Artistic Design by Karen Kavett and Wes Cockx | Engaging Activity for Adults

Karen has shone a light on the untapped creative potential of puzzle design. This is one of the best puzzles I've ever done. It's a real puzzler's puzzle, a unique and satisfying experience for people who have solved them all. There are lots of ways to analyze the pieces and figure out where they go. It's "meta puzzle" cut is way more interesting than a ribbon cut and more enjoyably predictable than a random cut. There are tons of "edge" pieces--everyone loves edge pieces! As a result, the puzzle has a lot of viable strategies, so however you solve it, you feel like it's "your" solution. There are no intricate details, so you don't need to refer to the box image as you go, which adds another layer of satisfaction as you organically figure out where the big pieces and color blocks belonged. (I actually did it upside down and never noticed!) I want more like this.

Recipient said was unique and fun!

I really enjoyed completing this one. It’s quite challenging, but very enjoyable. I like how the pieces snap together nicely.

We bought this for our 6YO, who is a big Karen Puzzles fan. It is a very satisfying puzzle, challenging but never frustrating or annoying. Karen's expertise is on full display, with helpful color contrasts and lines always providing different clues as to where pieces go. The difference between "normal" pieces for the outer part and "skewed" pieces for the mini-puzzles is also a nice touch. Our 6YO loved it, said it was his favorite puzzle hands down!

Buy it! I've done hundreds and hundreds of puzzles since the pandemic and this was my absolute favorite!!!!! It was challenging, unique and colorful! It's Ravensburger, so you know it's high-quality and well-made. I didn't want to finish it!! Like I said - buy it! :)

I'm a regular puzzler. I typically do a 1000 piece puzzle in about a week. This one took me 6 weeks! I never quite figured out the "secret" to doing this puzzle with its challenging color changes and the "puzzles within a puzzle " design. So if you're looking for a relaxing puzzle this is not it! If you're looking for a challenge, go for it!

My favorite puzzle that I have done! I cant wait to order another puzzle like this by Karen. The color variants make it so much fun to do. I framed this and put it up on my wall. Everyone that sees it comments on the vibrant colors.

The puzzle within a puzzle idea is not one I've personally seen before. It was fun to do seven puzzles in one. Some of the pieces were certainly odd shapes which added a bit to the difficulty in putting them together.Sliding the puzzle pieces in after completing them separately was fun.
