Personalised Jigsaw and Memory Game

If you've done photo jigsaws before, there's a simple rule: if you double the number of pieces, you increase the time needed by four. So if a 100-piece puzzle takes you 30 minutes, a 200-piece puzzle would take around two hours. It's widely suggested that a 500-piece puzzle will take the average person about five or six hours. Experienced puzzlers can complete a 1,000-piece jigsaw in about 10 hours but the average person might need up to 24 hours, which means that our 2,000-piece puzzle could take an entire weekend.

We recommend avoiding black and white snaps unless you're intentionally trying to make your Ravensburger Custom Puzzle nearly impossible to solve, and instead lean towards bright, colourful photos with lots of detail. The sharper, the better, as those details will be what makes a puzzle solveable.

Absolutely, you just need to use puzzle glue on both sides to keep it together. It's also good idea to mount your personalised photo puzzle onto a foam board for added stability before sliding it into a frame. Hang with an extra hook if you're worried about the weight and there you have it. There's something cool about the way you can turn a picture into a puzzle and then turn that puzzle into a picture – it's the perfect cycle.

Absolutely, it couldn't be easier to design your own puzzle on the app. Make sure you have the Photobox app downloaded, then log in to your account to save your photo (you can select it straight from your camera roll). Once it's saved, you can create your personalised photo puzzle straight away, or leave it to create on the app or your desktop later.

It's really easy to design your own games. Just head to the app or website, find the puzzle or game you'd like to create, upload your photo and you're done. Easy as that.
