About
Jigsaw Night is a shared virtual puzzle experience designed to bring people closer, one piece at a time.
It's the best way to connect with friends and family in VR. While AI dominates every conversation right now, playing together as real people, in the same space, matters more than ever.
Pick it up and play in the same room, or with someone on the other side of the world. Every game's a bit different, and it keeps pulling you back to the people you love.
Gameplay Basics
The core loop of Jigsaw Night is simple: select a puzzle and build it solo, with a partner, or with a whole squad. Upload your own pictures for a unique experience that cannot be replicated in this format anywhere else.
Grab a Puzzle
A jigsaw puzzle anyone can pick up, for players of all ages. Instantly familiar with all of the fun, and none of the mess.

Intimately Social
Designed from day one as a family activity, Jigsaw Night is built for co-located play at home with the people in the room, or co-presence online when you're miles away.

Best Hand Tracking Game
“You can grab the pieces whether they are close or far away and easily hand them to friends. At any time you can also pick up a controller and use it for more precise grabbing of faraway objects. This robust support, alongside other features like LIV integration, colocation, and puzzling with your own photos, means that solo developer Steve Lukas' project is an absolute delight to spend time in and a strong reason to bring just your headset with you.”
