In an effort to make the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle remotely manageable, the manufacturers divided the puzzle into eight bags. Each bag contains 4,032 pieces and corresponds to a block of four images within the puzzle.
While this division makes the puzzle slightly easier, you're still dealing with eight 4,032-piece puzzles featuring solid colors, no shading, and a relatively scant number of edge pieces. Oh, and don't forget lots of indecipherable white pieces.
The World's Largest Puzzle is made by world-renowned puzzle manufacturer Ravensburger.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Have you guys finished this puzzle?
Answer: We'd love to tackle this beast, but there's only so many hours in a day and the evil boss won't pay for 900 hours of puzzle-making. So, we decided it's better if we leave the challenge up to you and spend our time making sure you have more awesome stuff to buy and crazy videos to watch.
Question: Where can you work on a puzzle this large?
Answer: Each section (there are eight) is approximately 3 feet by 4.5 feet. So, you really don't need much room until it's time to assemble the finished pieces. We obviously recommend using a puzzle glue after completing each section.
Question: How long will it really take to complete?
Answer: Those who have completed the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle suggest it takes about 900 hours to complete. Honestly, we couldn't dedicate that amount of time to test their finding, so we have to take their word for it.
Because there's no shading and the same colors appear in multiple spots in each section, it's extremely tough. It took us about 2 hours to complete a section about eight inches square. So, good luck!
