Jigsaw is the calm one. A picture is cut into pieces and scattered across a shared board, and the whole room drags them home together — you can see each other's cursors moving pieces in real time.
There's no score, no podium and no clock. When the last piece clicks in, everybody wins. It's built as a wind-down game for the end of a session, or for a solo host who just wants to do a puzzle.
One team, one score: the whole room wins together, and the finale celebrates what you pulled off as a group — no podium, no loser.

How to play Jigsaw
The host picks the piece count
24 pieces for something quick, 48 by default, or 108 if the room wants a project.
Everyone joins the same board
Players enter the room code and land on one shared puzzle. Everyone can move any piece.
Drag pieces toward home
A piece clicks into place when it's close enough. You can see other players' pieces moving as they drag them.
Work together or divide up
Rooms usually self-organise — someone does edges, someone does the sky. Nothing enforces it.
The last piece finishes it
When the picture is complete the room wins as a team, and the finale celebrates the group rather than ranking anyone.
What Jigsaw looks like
How scoring works
Jigsaw doesn't score at all. It's fully co-operative: there are no points, no ranking and no winner beyond the room finishing the picture.
Because there's no clock either, a puzzle can sit half-finished while people talk. Nothing times out and nothing punishes a slow room.
The finale is a team verdict — what the room built together — rather than a scoreboard.
Tips for winning Jigsaw
- Do the edges first, as with any jigsaw. It's the one strategy that reliably helps a group.
- Call out what you're working on. Two people dragging pieces to the same corner is the only real friction in the game.
- Start at 48 pieces with a new group. 108 is genuinely long, and it's better to want another one than to abandon one.
- It plays fine solo — pick 24 or 48 and treat it as a wind-down.
Frequently asked questions
How many players do you need for Jigsaw?
One to four. It's the most solo-friendly game here — a host alone gets a perfectly good puzzle.
Is there a timer?
No. Jigsaw is deliberately untimed, which is why it's filed as a chill game rather than a party game.
Is it competitive?
Not at all. There's no score and no podium — the room finishes the picture together.
Is it free?
Yes, free to play and free to host, and joining needs only the room code.
