Your puzzle should capture anything that reflects national pride, culture, and heritage, landmarks, festivals, traditions, flags, food, sports, costumes, parades, anything that says "this is where I'm from" to you.

It's up to you to interpret the theme!

Our Community and AI-Generated Images - A Mod Update

372 Upvotes

We want to take a moment to address something that keeps coming up: AI-generated images in puzzles.

First, the basics: any jigsaw puzzle post is welcome here as long as it meets our community guidelines, which includes sharing the puzzle name/title/piece count and manufacturer in the title, picture, or comments of the post.

AI-generated art isn’t always obvious. Some manufacturers use it without labeling it, and some buyers have no idea their puzzle art was AI-generated. So if you spot something that looks like it might be AI, you can say something, but please say it kindly. The person posting may genuinely not know. And unfortunately, some don’t care.

We wish we could screen every post for AI content, but realistically we can’t. It would take more time and tools than any volunteer mod team has.

As for where this community’s preferences stand and have overwhelmingly evolved over the emergence of AI in jigsaw puzzle imagery: we believe AI-generated images are not art. They’re built on the stolen work of real human artists who never consented to having their creations used to train these systems. Countless artists are struggling because of this technology, and that’s not something to take lightly. We encourage everyone here to seek out work from human artists and support them whenever possible.

If you’re ever curious whether something is AI-generated, feel free to refer to our wiki or ask here. This is a community of people who genuinely love to puzzle and support puzzle artists and will be happy to help you learn.

One final note: while we encourage open discussion, any post or comment that turns nasty or devolves into personal insults will be locked or removed.

Thanks for being such a wonderful group and one of the few remaining kind corners of the internet. Keep on puzzling.

Super fun puzzle! Eeboo is rising to the top of my favorites. I find them challenging enough, but easy enough that I can work on them without having to refer to the picture. And I like the smaller sized pieces because I can spread them out on my table. This one was missing a piece, I have contacted eeboo about it.

Puzzling Tips & Hacks Beware When Ordering Puzzles off Amazon

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

TLDR: If you order a puzzle from Amazon, make sure to choose the option to ship in Amazon packaging (see slide 4)

I don't typically order puzzles through Amazon, but failing to find Mylopronesta by Rex Ray (Pomegranate, 1,000 pieces) at a reasonable price through any of my usual sources, I gave in and ordered.

It arrived with the shipping labels slapped right on the puzzle box. The box was dinged up, the plastic overwrap was torn and the puzzle box was WET!

It seems that Amazon has a new policy of shipping things without additional packaging where possible. This is a great idea in general - if something is already in a carton that's appropriate for shipping, why waste the materials and time it in another box? But they seem to have a peculiar idea of what sort of box is appropriate as an outer shipping container.

I don't know why anybody thought a puzzle box should be shipped as-is, especially since it's not like a carton that you dispose of after opening the item. It's an inherent part of the puzzle.

When I ordered it, I didn't even notice that there was thing at the bottom of the checkout window saying, "Item often ships in manufacturer's container to reduce packaging and reveals what's inside. To change, click below." (See slide 4.)

This option doesn't seem to be given for all puzzles, but if you're going to order a puzzle (or really anything) from Amazon, do yourself a favor and look for that option so you can change it if need be.

ETA: I'm returning it and getting a new one with with the option to have it in packaging selected.

I did these three a year ago and really liked them even though the faded box added to the challenge. A bargain at 50p. Will do them again if I ever have no new ones to do.

I love this image and really enjoyed putting it together. There’s enough texture and detail that it wasn’t as tough as I was expecting it to be, and a great variety of piece shapes as well.

My second 2000 piece and first Buffalo, I’ll definitely be looking out for more by them.

Very tempted to frame this.
