Since the Coronavirus has kept folks at home there's been an increase in the sale of puzzles and board games big time. I cannot remember the last time I did a puzzle or played a board game, but if it's something you're doing to alleviate boredom, then THIS puzzle is for you. This one may keep ya busy til 2021.

Kodak's World's Largest Puzzle is for those that love puzzles AND have lots of patience. This thing is massive! The puzzle contains 51,300 pieces and measures 28.5 feet wide and just over 6 feet tall.  The puzzle depicts 27 different destinations from around the globe with each of the destinations split up into exactly 1,900 pieces, all of which are packaged in separate bags, so you can build each one individually before piecing them all together. Once completed, the puzzle is essentially a giant collage of sites like the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and Eiffel Tower, all captured by professional photographers.

If you're looking for a family project to keep everyone busy and entertained this puzzle will do it! If you're feeling up for the challenge, you can check out what the puzzle looks like here and get info on buying it.  Just a heads up: it ain't cheap! This much family fun will set ya back a bit. It sells for $400-$600.

The puzzle is really cool looking and it'll make ya feel like you're traveling while stuck at home. Looking at it is awesome but the thought of putting it together makes me a little anxious. Of course, I'm NOT the most patient person. LOL! I have no doubt I'd lose some of the pieces before I finished.  If you give this a whirl, send pics! I'd love to see it completed.
