When I was growing up, puzzles were something older people did, but younger fans are connecting through YouTube and TikTok
I
t started as something to pass the time. I remember being 10, in 2001, at my grandmother’s house, a 1,000-piece puzzle spread across the table. I was determined to complete it before my mum and sister returned from a hike. By the end of the day it was done, and something clicked. There was a sense of satisfaction in fitting those pieces together.
After that, puzzles became a regular part of my life. I was always dipping into them – whether it was a quick 500-piece puzzle at the weekend or a more ambitious one over the holidays.
A few years later, I began uploading videos to YouTube, dabbling in various types of content, from crafting videos to general vlogging. I noticed there weren’t many people talking about jigsaws, so I started making videos about my collection, my favourites and the techniques I used to solve them.
