Poll: How many pieces of a Jidigi puzzle do you consider acceptable?

I enjoy doing Jigidi as long as the picture is fair and not AI generated, but overall I'd say 40-60 is a sweet spot for the larger audience. ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ᗜ<)

Doing Jigidi with Fox and gang has awaken my power

in terms of SG puzzles, 70-150

the small ones you finish to fast, any larger and they start to take to long for an unknown reward... and people are more likely to start using cheats to do them(or at least... this is where the finish times start to really be noticeable for the cheaters)

real life or online???
online like 80 at most
real life like 800 and a good audio book

I don’t like digital puzzles. I will suffer through them if the creator says what the giveaway is. But otherwise I don’t bother with puzzles of more than 20 or so pieces.

Hey! Dobke!
I didn't recognize you at first because your profile picture changed! You look really tired. Are you okay?
By the way, getting to the point—I absolutely love jigsaw puzzles!
So I don't mind how many pieces there are!
(Just checked—my record is 589 pieces, which took me 4 hours and 50 minutes!)
What matters to me is whether the image used is fun or beautiful.
Puzzles with dark or creepy pictures just aren't enjoyable to work on.

Whatever choice you make, I'll give my all to enjoy your event!

Rereading what I just wrote, I feel like it doesn't really answer your question.
Hmm. I think around 100 to 200 feels satisfying and enjoyable.
On the other hand, around 30 feels more like “work to get the game.”

While I like jigsaw, I hate the way they're implemented digitally. I get that they want to simulate sorting and grouping, but the process of separating piled up puzzle pieces one by one is the opposite of fun. I would have a different answer if they were lined up around without overlap or had their own sorting area so I don't have to drag the puzzle base around, but for Jidigi specifically, it's "as few as possible." The game would have to be very high on my wishlist for me to take up an 80+ image, and even then, I draw the line at 150.

I'm probably alot different than most opinions here, as I do about 90% of SG on my phone, for me personally there's a "comfort" limit to doing jigidis after which I have to consider other factors. 60-70 is my sweet spot probably, happy to go to 100 thereabouts if the event is worth it or the artwork is nice (happens more often than you think, sometimes I happily do jigidis for games I already have if the artwork is nice). With the slightly bigger phone I have now I suppose it's higher but once it goes over 120-150 I have to take a step back and weigh for me personally whether it's worth it. Have rarely done a few 200+ piece ones but only for giveaways or events I'm rather keen on. Once I did a jigidi for almost 300 pieces (good giveaway and great art) but I also said never again, no matter what the event. Being able to keep my progress saved in the jigidi site has been a lifesaver truly.

I can do larger ones if they're more detailed and not super single color. An image with features.

100 or less for random games, up to 200ish for high quality

What you consider acceptable, i prefer to know the name of the games gifted before attempting to solve but including that it's the gifter's preference.

I think the number doesn't matter as long as the colors are similar and the shapes aren't too indistinguishable.

I'd say around 60 to 80 is what I will usually do without having to think too much about it, but for anything above 100 I need to be in the mood for it. And I also really dislike those ones that are mostly a solid color, for those it's too hard to know where to start after doing the border.

I made many, while i am never a fan solving them, but even solving them my max would be 200-250.

Anything up yo 100 you can do under 10 minutes, i mean it shouldn't take all day, but not too short either.

I like solving puzzles but more than 20/30 pieces makes it boring. I think puzzles should be fun and short not a torture.

100-150 is my absolute comfort zone, especially with a good picture

I voted 40-60. If puzzles are too long it stresses me out instead of relaxing me. Stressed out because of boredom.

The length doesn't matter to me, but I do like to know what it is I'm trying to win beforehand. I'd also say the the larger the puzzle is, the more busy the image needs to be to keep it interesting. Don't want to have to resort using trial and error putting together several pieces that are all only of a single colour for instance.

I find these relaxing, so they're still my favourite puzzle type around here. If you create an account with Jigidi you can also do them at your own pace as well.

100-150. I really hope the picture is cute or nice.

It depends on a gift that is behind...

i have created over 100 jigidi puzzles here on sg. Like many things in life, you cannot make everyone happy. Some people don't like jigidis so 0 or lowest amount is the right amount for them, others love doing jigidis and are cool with 150-250 pieces and others "work" through 150+ pieces, because they like the better odds to win a giveaway.

So i advice you to think about what the jigidi is for and what amount of time you consider fair for it. For example imho:
-just bot check: lowest possible (9-12 pieces) - estimated puzzle time 10-30 seconds
-part of an multiple puzzles event: not more than 50 pieces, so even haters can make it through - estimated puzzle time 3-10 minutes
-pure jigidi event, so you solve the jigidi and directly reach the giveaway(s) - 100-250 depending on prize and giveaway duration - - estimated puzzle time last two years i had a jigidi advent event, one jigidi every day and giveway duration 1 week. Here is the the event's puzzle archive. The best times multiplied by 3 is usually the average person. Should give you a feeling about the needed time.

I only do the better "bot checks" DrTenma mentioned. Anything beyond that and I'd rather play a video game than use that time for a limited chance to win some other video game. It doesn't matter how great the giveaway behind that jigidi might be.

I always advocate for ease of access for people, a simple anti-bot method that doesn't make real members waste their valuable time on something difficult, but there will be opinions for everything, of course.

I probably wouldn't bother with anything that has more than 60-100. At that point, the time can be used playing games I already have over a metagame for a 0.1% chance at increasing my backlog further.
And if I don't even know what's behind it, I very likely wouldn't even try anything above like 20 pieces.

I don't really see the point in 40-60 but 100-150 sounds ok for a GA puzzle. It won't take forever and it's enough of a "puzzle" to count as one

Anything under 100 is basically just bot-protection and might as well do SG tools check instead.

But yes as others have said, it also depends on the game being given away. If it's unbundled or recent, 150 is something most people will do. If it's bundled and has been given away a lot, you shouldn't expect more than a handful of people bothering with anything over 100

I don't like jigsaw puzzles. I don't find the process relaxing or enjoyable so I only do ones that have few pieces.
