I can't imagine how anyone could finish this puzzle without wanting to play the game.
It's a great giveaway and generally I love puzzles but 500 pieces is too much for me
Thanks for the event though ^^

Before I pour my hours in it... What's the level restriction? ^^' Either way, thank you for doing this!

You can see the level restriction and time left in most cases if you click on the op's sg profile. Unless they have multiple invite only giveaways running of course.

Well, I like jigidis but 500 is too much for me. And while Kena is in my wishlist, I doubt I'll be able to play it in a reasonable amount of time in the case I'm the lucky winner. I better step aside, but I still wanna say thanks. So enjoy it, lucky winner!

How do you solve this in 68 minutes 0.o!?!?
That comes out to a piece placed correctly every 8 seconds!
Seems somewhat improbable...
I'm very curious to 😏

Practice makes perfect You can check some older jigidi threads, I'm a regular attendee and usually end up in top1-5, there are even better solvers here
For jigidi fans I would recommend this thread. Unfortunately discontinued
I joined Jigidi on 29 February 2016 and I am online now. I've solved 1364 puzzles (0.5 daily) and put together 211051 pieces (81.1 daily)
When jigidi became a thing people used to do some nasty puzzles like:
Still that's another topic and those required a completely different approach(When a big part of the image is plain colour without details it's best to sort pieces by 2 edges and work your way from the corner)
But on a serious note I must say a good setup is also crucial and helps as much as practice
You need:
- A big monitor - puzzle pieces are more scattered. You see more of them without the need of dragging the top layers away first Currently running a 27'' QHD one
- Wide colour gamut on your monitor - It's important to see all the shades in the picture, for example on my old monitor most shades of orange looked almost the same and reddish
- It wasn't the case in this puzzle, but especially for darker pictures experiment with the background. Choosing the right one improves the contrast and can reveal more details even if you already have a good panel(This probably depends a lot on the technology. Mine is a TN one)
- A decent mouse - I mean quite precise and with decent dpi so that you don't need to swipe it left and right for each small movement(I certainly don't get good times on a touchpad :P)

Truly impressive.. and very informative.
I can rarely enjoy these things. Horrible eyes and terrible lack of mental focus 😑 I guess a 15 year old monitor does not help either 🤓
Congrats on the speedy solve.

Thanks
As for the response if it helps somebody improve and makes the experience more enjoyable I believe it was worth it. Just a piece of advice for people new to the topic in case they feel overwhelmed by the puzzle.
At the same time I fully understand that jigidis, especially in their electronic form are not for everybody. Still that applies to any hobby, people have their own tastes.

Can you explain a bit more about the two edges bit? Do you just sort all pieces by their shape (or at least two edges, e.g. top and right)? And then I guess start working from the top right of the puzzle?

Exactly that(I mean using two edges - if you start from the corner, you won't have any hints for the additional ones either way). sorting is time consuming, but certainly requires less time than looking up a correct piece from all 500 if you don't have better criteria(image details)
Additionally instead of dragging the piece from the sorted area to the image and then back it's better to drag the frame and align it with the pieces one after another(just try to place them in a grid when sorting). Then checking a piece is just a move from one piece to another, instead of from the sorted area to the assembled image and back

I have sorted pieces before, but I took into account all 4 edges. I will try out this approach in the future.Thanks! 😀

What a sweet looking game!
I'm rather surprised i didnt already have it on my wishlist.
Been awhile since i've done a jigi more than 300 pieces, so gonna save this for the end of the day, while i listen to a podcast or something informative.
Thx for the fun! o/

Hopefully by the time the giveaway is over I'll have finished the current game I'm playing, in the off chance that I win.
Either way, I had fun. Thanks for the puzzle and giveaway!
