In what way do you prefer to spend your spare time? Do you like to take a complete rest of everything or turn your attention to an entertaining and challenging task? There are many occupations of this kind, for example, chess, backgammon, sudoku games etc. But today I would like to speak about one more not less interesting and stimulative task, which is called a jigsaw puzzle game.

BigJig is a multifeatured jigsaw-puzzle game, where you can choose between eleven levels of difficulty for each picture and cut your image up to 950 figured jigsaw pieces, with or without rotation.

It was a big pleasure for me to play BigJig. Choosing out of eight shape styles Classic, Modern, Curl, Artistic, Bony, Scrappy, Distorted, and Spriggy, adding a plain or shaped frame around picture or selecting the edgeless pieces mode, I could complicate or simplify the issue. Playing with big and simple puzzles was an amusement and relaxation for me, but dealing with the more difficult edgeless pieces was a really brainstorming exercise.

As an additional challenge, you can choose the Edgeless mode to solve the jigsaw puzzle without edge pieces. After opening a jigsaw puzzle, all the pieces can be randomly scattered or arranged in a grid-like fashion.

For your convenience, there are four pockets in the game to store and arrange pieces there. You can select a group of pieces to move them, transfer to the second playing window or to a pocket, or arrange in a grid.

I appreciated that this game can support several languages. Also, on the game site, you can find a new free jigsaw every week. After registration, you will get the set of more than 200 extra full-color jigsaws made of professional photos and famous paintings. You will also get JigMake - the utility for making your own jigsaws.

In the whole, I should say that there is everything in this game to be estimated at its true worth by puzzles amateurs: the convenient interface, beautiful pictures, visual indication of the pieces joining and many other advantages. On this basis I can conclude that BigJig is the best game for those who love big jigsaw puzzles.

This is a great program but I'm having a real problem being able to communicate with the site for the purposes of downloads. Maybe if the owner of the program reads this they can address that problem for everyone.
