Play Living Jigsaw Online

Living Jigsaw came out for the Amiga in 1991, a puzzle game from developer Arcane and publisher Merit Software. It was part of that era where the Amiga's graphics and sound could really make a simple concept feel polished and engaging, without needing to be a massive action title or adventure.

You control a cursor to pick up and place jigsaw pieces, but the twist is that the pieces are animated; they move on their own, shifting and changing as you try to fit them together. Your main objective is to complete each puzzle, which spans various themes like underwater scenes or fantasy landscapes, and you can adjust the number of pieces and their shapes to tailor the challenge. The pacing is methodical, almost meditative, but the difficulty ramps up as the animations make it harder to judge where a piece truly belongs. It feels like solving a picture that’s actively resisting being solved, a quiet battle of wits against a beautifully restless image.
