ME? I don’t like solving puzzle games….I have not enough patience to do something like that and I don’t feel that it offers me any kind of satisfaction. But I admire people that like to solve puzzles, like my brother. He has over 20 puzzle games, each of them with 500-2500 pieces. Sometimes he just stays locked in his room to finish the puzzle, especially when it’s a new achieved one. He remade each for about three times, and he is convinced that a new puzzle game would make him happy ….

He likes especially puzzles with great images, and I mean great places on earth, special cities, unique castles or strange buildings. The pieces are so little that you have to try several times to just find the perfect match and this is for me really hard. But I also think this makes the passionate people eager to see the beautiful result. My brother just says that puzzles are something challenging, that every new piece he matches makes him want to keep on going. In the end, the results are amazing, and I am sure he is proud of himself. It’s a great hobby, and it’s interactive.

I’ve heard of people who gather together to solve a puzzle, and they find this entertaining and fun, and there’s a competition going on, who makes the most matches per minute. It’s a brain exercise that makes you react fast and pay attention.

The computer puzzles are not the same as the real ones, because they cannot offer you that part of originality. But there are still users that prefer this kind of games, maybe because it’s cheaper (You don’t have to buy the puzzle, which are mostly, not really cheap). Usually for a normal puzzle you need some space, if it’s a big one, and that table will be out of any other use until you finish the puzzle.

Children are also very pleased with this kind of occupation, it makes them achieve patience and concentrate. In the end, if he manages to solve it, parents might observe that this can be one of his hobbies or, if not, he is certainly a patience person that likes challenging activities…There are this puzzles for children with cartoons characters, Disney World and Princesses, and this will definitely make the child eager to see the result.

I read even about personalized puzzles, with your own picture, name or anything else you might want. I find this great, it’s a perfect and unique gift. I’m sure that a passionate person about puzzles will appreciate this, “constructing” his own image.

Although I’m not that pleased with the idea of making a puzzle on my own, I always appreciate the results and encourage people too keep on doing this beautiful work!
