Midnight in New York is a 1000-piece puzzle from KI Puzzles, and the artist is Madalina Tantareanu. This is the fourth puzzle I have done in this series, and I still have two more to do. I really like her artwork, and I enjoyed this puzzle a lot.

Buildings are one of my favorite things to puzzle, so this design was perfect for me. My favorite part of the image was the billboards, though; they were so fun!

The quality of the puzzle was decent. I did have to press pretty hard on some of the pieces to get them into place. I prefer when they click into place a bit more.

Midnight in Prague is a 1000-piece puzzle from KI Puzzles, and the artist is Mandalina Tantareanu. She is a Romanian illustrated based in Germany, and she especially loves drawing cities.

This is the third one I have done from her Cities at Midnight series. My son Michael gave it to me for Christmas in 2024, and it was the last puzzle from 2024 still on my to do shelf. There are three more puzzles in this series, which I bought myself for Christmas in 2025 so I would have the whole set.

I love puzzling buildings and words, so I was glad this puzzle had some of both. The cobblestone bridge was also fun to do. The top section with all of the blue and white was a lot more challenging but doable.

Such a lovely image!

Midnight in Rome is a 1000-piece puzzle from KI Puzzles. It is part of the Cities at Midnight line, and the artist is Madalina Tantareanu. My son actually got this for me for Mother’s Day earlier this year. He has access to my Amazon wish list, so he usually picks something from there when he wants to get me something. It’s nice because I get to enjoy being surprised without worrying that I won’t like the present. 😊

The quality of KI Puzzles is pretty good, in my opinion. They are a good thickness and finish, and they fit together well. The image is challenging without being frustrating. I did have to sort by shape but only at the end, mainly for the sky.

I really enjoyed doing this puzzle. I generally like to start with the border, and I was nervous about this one because the edges are white, but there was enough color on the edge pieces that I was able to put it together. This artwork is so interesting because the buildings in the foreground have a different look than the ones in the background.

I have done two from this series and have one more on my shelf to do. There are three more that I have on my Amazon wishlist, so hopefully one day I will have them all.

Midnight in San Francisco is part of the Cities at Midnight series from KI Puzzles. It is 1000 pieces, and the artist is Mandalina Tantareanu. This was my first puzzle from this brand, and I was impressed by the quality. The pieces fit together well but weren’t too hard to take apart when I was done.

I was drawn to the beautiful color palette. The colors are vivd and soft at the same time, if that makes sense. I also love doing buildings, which this puzzle has several of, as well as a cable car and a suspension bridge. This was a nice challenge and a very enjoyable puzzle.
