01 / THE GUIDE
Puzzle Variety
The game contains roughly fifty puzzles, each described as having a "surprising way of being solved." This design encourages players to look beyond traditional jigsaw mechanics and discover hidden rules for each challenge.
Puzzles are grouped into themed worlds, giving a sense of progression as players move through the Jigsawverse. The thematic grouping adds narrative context without requiring external knowledge.
- When a puzzle feels unclear, examine the surrounding environment for visual hints.
- Try a different interaction pattern if the initial approach does not succeed.

Accessibility Options
Two puzzles that rely on color include an on‑screen toggle for a color‑blind mode, ensuring visual clarity for players with color perception differences.
Subtitle options are split into three tracks—background music, sound effects, and voices—supporting hard‑of‑hearing or deaf players, while custom volume controls let users balance each audio element.
- Enable the color‑blind toggle on the affected puzzles for clearer visuals.
- Select only the subtitle tracks you need to reduce on‑screen text.
