In what surely must be a plot to eliminate boredom worldwide, Ravensburger is preparing to release the largest jigsaw puzzle ever made. Titled Keith Haring: Double Retrospect, this monster-sized puzzle is fit to help you and your family ride out the next "snowpocalypse". The finished product measures in at 17' x 6' and comprised of 32,256 total pieces as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
The artistic images used for this puzzle are a grid of 32 works from the late pop artist, Keith Haring. With his art style, Haring uses bold colors and thick lines, so you can breath a sigh of relief that yes, this puzzle is actually possible to finish. It wouldn't be prudent to guess how long such a puzzle will take to complete, but perhaps the earlier estimate of a single snow storm was a bit conservative! Here's a look at the finished product:
While it will be a bear to find enough room to build this puzzle, one has to admit that mounting the finished product to a wall would be fairly stunning. Having a wall almost completely covered in jigsaw puzzle pieces could serve as a pretty cool decoration. The best part? With that many pieces, the puzzle weighs in at a daunting 42 pounds but comes with its own hand truck!
