"Family", new 6000 from Grow

Added a new puzzle to the list.
I'm talling about the 6000 pieces from Grow, with the same size and format of the previous 6000 from Grow (called Vatican).




The artist of the puzzle is Romero Britto, a brazilian painter and sculptor. He combines elements of stereotypical cubism, pop art and graffiti painting in his work. He currently lives in Miami, Florida, where you can see his work in many parts of the city. If you like the picture, but scares the number of pieces, Grow has several puzzles with the works of Romero Brittos and fewer pieces.

For now, there are few data of the puzzle, is only published that measures 105 x 155 cms. A normal size for a 6000, so we anticipate that the size of the pieces will be normal, and not as in the 8000 Grow, which are mini.
The box has a common sizes in large Grow puzzles, 38,0x38,0x8,0 cm. And although not published, we can estimate a similar weight to the other 6000 puzzle from Grow (2,226 g) .

Now you can buy on the web shop of Grow, let's see who is the first to get it and tells us about it!!!!

We started publishing detailed information of the greatest puzzles in the world with one of the classic, "Life." This puzzle of 24,000 pieces manufactured by Educa has been the world's biggest puzzle from 2007 to 2010, when it was superseded by the "Double Retrospective" 32,000 pieces manufactured by Ravensburger.

This is one of the best documented puzzles, and if you are interested in knowing details about it, please visit World Largest Puzzle. Although, as we have said, the name has become obsolete and is no longer "World Largest".

We started!!!

What are the largest puzzles of the world? How are they? How large are? How long does it take? ... This blog tries to answer these and many other questions about the  largest jigsaw puzzles of the world.

What is considered a big puzzle? Depends on who you ask; for some a 2,000 pieces puzzle is already large, while for others everything that has fewer than 10,000 pieces is small. For my part, I consider "large" everything that has 6,000 or more pieces; So here you will find from 6,000 pieces up to the largest of the moment. At the time of creating this blog, the larger the "Wild Life" Educate to 33,600 pieces.

Today we are talking about more than 135 puzzles, and every year manufacturers release new "big boys" so the task is enormous and endless. So any help, information, input, review, etc. that you can do, it will be welcome.

I hope the blog will prove interesting, It certainly helps me to be distracted.

Best regards.
