At its origins, the jigsaw puzzle was constructed as a tiling puzzle which requires that one would assemble small and numerous, mostly oddly shaped, pieces that interlock with each other. Every piece of puzzle has a picture on one side. Finishing a jigsaw puzzle game will show a picture of an object, animal, landscape and so on

At the beginning, a jigsaw puzzle was actually a painted picture on a piece of wood which was finally cut into small pieces with a jigsaw. Because we live in a technological era, most games producers also implemented jigsaw puzzle games that can be played on a game console, such as a personal computer, an Xbox or playstation.

Modern jigsaw puzzles are mainly made out of cardboard because it is cheaper and also easier to be used. A jigsaw puzzle can have 300, 500, 750 or 1000 pieces, although even bigger games can be found as well, for example, the biggest one yet, having 24,000 pieces. These types of games are also categorized by the age of the buyer. There are puzzles for children, which are easier and come with fewer pieces, but also puzzles for grown-ups, more complex and with smaller pieces, which for a child might be dangerous as they can swallow the pieces.

Jigsaw puzzles can also be without a picture, making the whole process of putting the pieces back together much harder. You can also find 3D puzzles, made of wood or Styrofoam which requires the puzzle to be solved in a given way as some pieces will not fit if there is another piece in place. Some other types of jigsaw puzzle are the puzzle boxes and puzzle globes.

Computer versions of jigsaw puzzles have more advantages than a real game, first of all because it requires no cleanup and there is no risk of losing any piece. Most such games have the pieces already in the right orientation, making this type of puzzle much easier. Also, some games insert the jigsaw puzzle in other types of games, such as hidden object games.

As the approach of building a puzzle goes, it is easier to start by separating the edges from the inside pieces. Also, it is a good thing to use the picture on the box of the game, as it helps knowing where you what you want to build. One can also chose to sort the pieces by color and just connect one color at a time, this being easier if it is a colorful picture.



It is believed that puzzle games help children but also grow-ups develop their imagination and concentration. Most jigsaw puzzle games are recommended for 3 year old children and bigger children. Starting from the jigsaw puzzle, companies started building boards, cases, frames and also roll-up mats that were designed to assist jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. All in all, the jigsaw puzzle might be one of the oldest games ever build, and even as time passes, there isn't any hint that they will go out of style anytime soon.

First click on the “start” button to begin the level. The use the mouse to click on the screen and guide the pill. You will get to the next level when you reach the big red pill. The small circle with a white contour is your mouse icon, the little red pill is the one you have to guide, and the big red pill is the end of the level.
