Puzzle 1000 pieces together. 

“It’ll be fun,” they said. 

Or complete torture, depending on the puzzle. 

You listened and decided to piece the puzzle together…but how long will it take? 

How Long Should a 1000 Piece Puzzle Take?

It takes around 7-10 hours to complete a 1000 piece puzzle based on the average solving time of puzzle enthusiasts. This time can vary depending on several factors such as the complexity of the puzzle, experience level, and the amount of time available to dedicate to solving it. Some people prefer to spread out the puzzle-solving process over a few days or weeks, while others enjoy the challenge of completing it in a single sitting. Ultimately, the time it takes to complete a 1000-piece puzzle depends on your personal preferences and circumstances. 

Sometimes, it comes down to the image you're piecing together. A one-color puzzle, like our all white puzzle, will take a little longer (we call them “impossible” for a reason). These can take anywhere from 20 to 40 hours to complete in their entirety. 

Each piece of a puzzle can come together more quickly if you have additional hands to help in the process. Call your friends over for a puzzle party or spend date night in and tackle it together in a few hours.
