Hi Mandy, what a wonderful concept 🤩. We are amazed how puzzle brands are continuing to innovate within the hobby. The image was so cute too. We’re convinced that at the mo we are in a puzzling renaissance and that’s such a good thing. Always top videos Mandy we just loveem. M+C😎😄

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

So true! It's so exciting to see what all these brands are coming up with and what they're like. It's a great time to be a puzzler! And thanks to the both of you always for all your support! 🤗🤗🤗

I have the entire set of the magic puzzles, I love them so much!

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Wow, really?! That's awesome! I don't blame you, they are really fantastic 🤩

@brendad3570 13 дней назад

Wow what a creative puzzle. Unusual shapes too

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

They certainly are very unique puzzles, and I get why they use the word "magic".

@neferteri7957 День назад

I've done a couple of puzzles from the Magic Puzzle Company, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. As with you, my only real issue was pieces falling apart when I tried to move chunks of pieces. I love the different puzzle piece shapes and sizes.

@stacyssassystyles 12 дней назад

I'm so excited to see if you like it!!! They are my fav!!!

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

They are awesome, and I can't wait to pick up another one!

@bettyc.6280 13 дней назад

I have the earlier version of The Mystic Maze, and it doesn't have that Sign&Share Sticker. It does have the rest, though. I did it so long ago I can't recall about the crumbliness, but I think it did.This is a major issue for their puzzles. I'm surprised they didn't fix it by now

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

It's also interesting considering that it does have to be moved around. You'd think it'd have a great hold, so I was really surprised by that. Still, it was a lot of fun and the overall quality is great.

@bettyc.6280 12 дней назад

That's exactly what I was referring to. Incredible.

@puzzlesbypam2442 7 дней назад

I had a very similar fit experience. I think it is probably because of the movement that has to take place at the end. Not being able to move a few pieces around usually drives me batty, but I loved this so much I didn't care. Can't wait to find my next one!!

@thepuzzledmandy 7 дней назад

Totally agree. I'm the kind of puzzler that much prefers a good hold since I like to work on sections around different areas of my table and move them around to the right positions. But thankfully, this puzzle was so much fun that I didn't mind the lack of hold too much.

@initiate22000 12 дней назад

What a fun video! I was never really clear about what was "magic" about these puzzles. Now I understand. I could have told you not to pick it up! There are large areas that are completely separate, so even trying was a fantasy, but I know you had to!

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

I was curious about what the "magic" was too! Happy I found out 🤩 Yea, I knew it wasn't going to be a successful pick up test, but I just had to try. I couldn't help myself 😂

@randee719 12 дней назад

That really looked like a fun puzzle. I’m going to check out the company. Thanks for doing a video on it!!!

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

@IzebellePuzzleDiaries 12 дней назад

That looks like so much fun! Haven't seen any such puzzles here in South Africa. Will have to look into getting my hands on one.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Hopefully they'll start to make these more available worldwide. They are definitely something everyone should experience.

@lindsayshatto 13 дней назад

I love these puzzles! I’ve completed half of them so far, but not this one yet. Did you look at the back of the large piece? I’ve found hidden messages on it, and also on the backs of some other pieces, at least beyond series one. I haven’t gone back to that series to check on them yet 😜

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Wait, what?!?! I didn't even realize there was other stuff written on the back aside from the brand name 🤯I'm gonna have to pull it back out now and inspect them LOL!

@lindsayshatto 12 дней назад

@@thepuzzledmandy I did check this one and the large piece does say something 😉 On the back of The Crystal Caves the large piece says “in awe at the size of this lad,” which is just adorable, and another section says “help I’m trapped in a puzzle factory” They are subtle but so much fun 😊

@phylliswakefield7651 12 дней назад

@allisongerfin7804 13 дней назад

I found the 3 from the first series at thrift stores so of course I bought them. They are super quality...except for the crumbling! If they locked more i would have no complaints. I did mine on a fabric surface so it was a challenge to move the sections. The website advises you to have a large smooth surface...but it should be on the boxes too, right?

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Oh wow! That's a super lucky find at a thrift store! My head would've exploded 🤯But you're absolutely right! Why didn't note this on the boxes as well??? Not everyone goes to the websites. It's a bit silly really.

@allisongerfin7804 9 дней назад

I am just starting the third one now after a couple of months....they just are not "top of the pile" for me. Too bad cuz the artwork is really cool!

@Marlene7388 12 дней назад

Forest Feast is the first one I did from this brand and absolutely loved it! My second was Gnomes Homes and loved it too!! Thanks for the video, always a pleasure. My puzzles were gifts and I do believe he got them on Amazon.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

You are so welcome! Happy you enjoyed the video 🤗 I definitely want to pick up more of these puzzles. I love the art style and a lot of the characters are so cute. Very creative images and fun to admire.

@missjanet111 12 дней назад

Perfect timing! I just finished the Puzzled Patron last night and opened the secret envelope this morning. I really prefer your image so much more as not as dark. I have been wanting to try one of these and couldn’t pass up a brand new one for $4 at a thrift store. Very crumbly and I am glad I work on a large table.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

$4 brand new at a thrift store?!!?! That's a super find! I seriously want to pick up a lot more of these puzzles.

They are super fun and the pieces themselves are great. Just wish it wasn't crumbly, which is silly considering you have to move it around. But still, I would definitely recommend and pick up more of them.

@stacyssassystyles 12 дней назад

That's my big complaint too, for a puzzle meant to move it should hold better!

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

It baffles me really. I don't understand why they let it fail at that.

@bearsfan8819 12 дней назад

Hii Mandy! Question for you (or any fellow puzzler). I purchased the midnight city collection from KI puzzles from your video/recommendation. I loved the snug piece fit. That is honestly my favorite feature in a puzzle. Do you (or any fellow puzzler) have a recommendations on what other puzzle brands have that snug fit?

@initiate22000 12 дней назад

Yes. Try Pintoo! They are made of plastic and virtually lock together. They have the most perfect fit you can imagine. You can hold the entire puzzle by one corner, and it will not come apart.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Yes, Pintoo is a snug fit/hold lovers dream! If you don't mind the pieces being plastic, go for it!

@erniesulovic4734 12 дней назад

Hey Mandy, it is available in Oz and also the 3-set as well. Darn expensive here yet might be worthwhile. Here it is like US$40 each.

@nadiarodriguez4834 12 дней назад

I've been thinking about buying one of these puzzles for a while, but they are very expensive in Amazon Mexico. I'll look for other options or wait for a sale :)

I really hope they make these more widely available around the world. The lack of availability really jumps that price up. Hopefully you can catch a good sale online at some point.

@judithmoore7892 12 дней назад

But, but, but, a puzzle that requires you to move large sections really should pass the pickup test.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

I know, right! I was so confused as to why they didn't create something that could hold up to it. Makes no sense 🤔 But still, it was a lot of fun.

@rebekahnerad4900 4 дня назад

Is this the only magic puzzle company one you've done? I started the video, then quickly stopped when I realized I haven't done this one yet. I own it, but I'm saving it. I've done "Mystic Maze" and "Secret Soup."

@thepuzzledmandy 3 дня назад

Yup, this is my first one. I've seen only a couple others at my local Walmart, but I may just pick up some of the bundles that they sell on Amazon. All their images look like too much fun.

@beepdotboop 12 дней назад

Yep I have the same sentiments about MPC puzzles. Love everything about it except for the crumblyness, esp since the gimmick is moving large sections around. They're all like that unfortunately

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

It's mind boggling really. You'd think they'd create something that could hold up at least a little bit 🤔If it wasn't for that, I feel like they would've been perfect.

@clarkkent7973 12 дней назад

I hate puzzles that have edges on the inside of the puzzle! This would be frustrating for me.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

Honestly, I was very confused at first. I've never done a puzzle with edges on the inside before.

@puzzlegirl_higgy 12 дней назад

The Forest Feast was my favorite jigsaw puzzle of 2023! 🧩❤️ I agree, it has a super loose fit, but I loved the image and the puzzling experience so much that the fit didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the puzzle.

@thepuzzledmandy 12 дней назад

I have to agree! For 2024, I think this has to be the most fun I had piecing an image together so far. It certainly would've been 100% perfect if the hold was there.
