A mega jigsaw puzzle with 60,000 pieces is for sale at Costco. At 8 feet long and 29 feet wide, the wholesale giant says it’s the largest jigsaw puzzle in the world.
The puzzle, called What a Wonderful World, is actually 60 1,000 piece puzzles featuring the art of 187 paintings by artist Dowdle, Costco says on its website.
"This supersized puzzle can be done in sections and then locked together into one big, beautiful puzzle," the description reads.
Although Costco claims that the gargantuan $600 puzzle is "the world's largest," that's not 100 percent accurate.
According to Guinness World Records, that title belongs to the United Arab Emirates, which created a 65,905.17-square-foot puzzle in 2018, celebrating the country's founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Costco's puzzle can't claim the title of "most pieces in a jigsaw puzzle" either, which students from the University of Ho Chi Minh City earned in 2011. Their puzzle, which depicted a lotus flower, included 551,232 pieces and measured about 76 feet long and 48 feet wide.
What makes Costco's puzzle unique is that it is the world's largest commercially available puzzle, a point that @karenpuzzles makes in a TikTok. The puzzle expert explains that Dowdle's 60,000-piece puzzle dethroned Grafika's 54,000 "Travel Around Art" piece, the previous record-holder.
