This 1,000-piece color gradient puzzle is super challenging — and currently on sale
Let's face it: Puzzles get a bad rap for being "boring" or "lame." It doesn't matter if it's 100 pieces or 1,000, puzzles are typically reserved for boring nights in and obligatory hangouts with your grandparents, right?
Not quite.
Truth is, puzzles are kind of cool. Research suggests that regularly dabbling in puzzles can help improve your mood, lower stress, and even increase your IQ — really.

Today, they come in all shapes, sizes, themes, and difficulties, but if you already consider yourself a jigsaw wiz, you're probably craving a puzzle that will truly put you to the test. Fortunately, you have some options. A company called the Jacky Winter Group creates a bevy of colorful puzzles that will seriously give you a run for your money.
Take the Clemens Habicht's Colour Puzzle, for example. This 1,000-piece option is a full CMYK color gradient, so each piece is an individual color. The goal is to place similar shades together, resulting in a comprehensive and stunning color spectrum.
Then there’s the halftone puzzle, where each of the 1,000 pieces is comprised of teeny, tiny dots of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Match the dot pattern frequencies and rosettes for a truly psychedelic pattern. And if neither of these piques your interest, you can always opt for the 1,000-piece vibrating puzzle, which is all about complementary colors.
Normally, each puzzle is valued at $50 but for the next few days you can snag them for $35.99 a pop. Whether you want to up your puzzle game or are looking for the perfect present for someone special, these jigsaws are well worth the investment.
