If you thought your last 1,000-piece jigsaw hogged the dining table for a week, brace yourself. Ravensburger’s Pokémon Celebration Journey Jigsaw Puzzle packs a staggering 40,320 pieces — a figure it describes as one of the world’s largest ever officially licensed puzzles.
The completed canvas stretches roughly 22 feet wide by more than 6 feet tall, which is well beyond what any normal room can accommodate. You’ll likely need a hallway, a garage floor, or the kind of patience usually reserved for shiny hunting.
Rather than dumping all 40,320 pieces into one terrifying mound, Ravensburger has split the build into 10 separate puzzle designs, each individually packed as its own 4,000-piece set. Every section centers on a different iconic Pokémon character and location, and once all ten are assembled they lock together into a single sprawling mural. That modular approach is genuinely clever: you can tackle one design at a time, store the rest, and treat the whole thing as a long-haul project rather than a single doomed weekend.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re signing up for:
- Pieces: 40,320 total, split into 10 designs of 4,000 pieces each
- Dimensions: around 22 feet wide by over 6 feet tall
- Theme: ten iconic Pokémon characters and locations
- Bragging rights: one of the largest officially licensed puzzles in the world
Now the part everyone’s whispering about: the price. Early reports pegged it at $730, but Ravensburger has yet to officially confirm a figure. Based on how the company prices its mega-format sets, expect the final number to land somewhere between $700 and $800. Either way, this is very much a collector’s centerpiece rather than a casual rainy-day activity.
The launch is set for September 2026, with preorders already live at Amazon. Those preorders are expected to ship in the fall or winter of 2026.
It’s worth remembering that Ravensburger has a long track record with oversized puzzles, so this isn’t a novelty stunt — it’s a serious build aimed at hardcore fans who want a Pokémon monument they can point at and say, yes, I did that. Just make sure you’ve measured your floor space first, because there’s no walking this one back once the pieces are out of the box.
Whether it’s a lifetime achievement or an exercise in mild masochism depends entirely on your appetite for tiny cardboard tabs. For the right collector, though, a 22-foot Pokémon tapestry is exactly the kind of gloriously excessive challenge worth chasing.
