1000-Piece ‘Hell Puzzle’

From $20.98, Amazon

Consisting of pieces that are not only shaped the same, but all the same color, hell puzzles are for puzzle enthusiasts who also hate themselves. Oh and did I mention that the pieces are all really teeny?

The only way to solve a hell puzzle is through trial and error and stubbornness. But, when you’re finished, you can truly call yourself a puzzle master.

Hell puzzles are available in a few different piece counts. I suggest starting at 1,000 and working your way up to the madness of 2,000.
