Here’s a puzzler -- a jigsaw puzzle that measures 29 feet wide and 8 feet long.
Costco is offering the ultimate jigsaw puzzle for sale, according to a product description on the big box company’s website.
The puzzle, called “What a Wonderful World,” has 60,000 pieces and is available to order. The price? A cool $599, which includes shipping and handling.
Costco is claiming that it is the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle, but according to Guinness World Records, that distinction belongs to DMCC in the United Arab Emirates. That puzzle had 12,320 pieces and measured 65,905.17 feet. It was certified on July 7, 2018, according to Guinness.
However, Costco could qualify for having the world’s largest commercial jigsaw puzzle, since that record has not been certified.
