The video revolves around the daunting task of completing the '$2 Million Puzzle,' which can win participants anywhere from $1 to $2 million by generating and scanning a QR code upon completion. The creator purchases four puzzles to maximize their chances of winning. They begin by sorting the pieces and spend approximately 6.5 hours completing the border using a reference image. Despite the meticulous organization and long hours, the interior proves exceptionally challenging. Throughout, participants, including one named Roxy, dedicate significant time, totaling over 27 hours, with minimal progress and numerous setbacks. They reflect on a prior, similarly arduous puzzle completed with a larger team over four days. In their final effort, while searching for specific pieces like a Shrek piece and rainbow configurations, they discover extra pieces and some missing ones. Ultimately, scanning the QR codes on the puzzles nets them only $1, with additional scans yielding another $2. They conclude that QR codes for the puzzles are available online, making the tedious assembly somewhat redundant.

In this segment, the video introduces the ‘$2 Million Puzzle,’ touted as one of the hardest in the world. Completing this puzzle generates a QR code which can be scanned to reveal a cash prize, ranging from $1 to $2 million. The creator purchases four puzzles to increase the chances of winning and begins by separating the edge pieces from the middle pieces, despite not knowing what the final image looks like. After five hours of work, they reach a standstill and decide to find a reference image online, which takes another hour. With the reference, they spend a total of 6.5 hours to complete the puzzle’s border. Next, they sort the remaining pieces by the number of nubs, preparing to tackle the interior, acknowledging that this will be the most challenging part.

After putting in over nine hours of effort on the first day with minimal progress, they decide to let a participant named Roxy continue overnight. By the beginning of day two, another participant arrives to help, and they start making progress, albeit slowly. They describe the painstaking nature of the task, noting that similar-looking pieces can throw off the entire effort if placed incorrectly. Despite over 27 hours of work and numerous setbacks, they are close to finishing but still have about 100 pieces left. They consider scanning the nearly completed puzzle to check for accuracy and reflect on a previous, equally challenging puzzle they completed with a bigger team over four days.

They scan the puzzle’s QR code to check their winnings, only to find out they’ve won $1.
