Liza Fireman, an avid puzzle collector, has a rather soft spot for all things Ravensburger. She started building her collection from 2019, with sets ranging from 100-piece puzzles to a Mickey Mouse puzzle comprising an astronomical 40,320 pieces. Ever since she was a little girl, the now record title holder has had a love for puzzles.
After an official count of her collection, she found out she had surpassed the previous record by double, beating the record of 2022 also achieved by an American, John Walczak, in 2023. Fireman has a vast collection ranging from childhood favourites like Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty, as well as puzzles from TV shows like Friends, and cinema like the iconic Wicked.

Her rarest one by far is the Star Wars Yoda that took her seven years to get her hands on. But it’s important to note that her record wasn’t intentional. She simply fell in love with puzzling and collecting, not just any puzzle, but Ravensburger puzzles. Her love for it got her to the National Jigsaw Puzzle Championships three times, and the World Championships once, too! Fireman earning this title truly feels like a jigsaw falling into place.
