[ACTIVITY] Puzzle Blitz! (October 3 - October 30th)
Puzzle Blitz!!

You know what’s always nice? Sitting down to do a puzzle with friends. So, gather ‘round, buddies, because that’s exactly what we’re going to do. :D

How’s it going to work?

Each Monday in October (except for the 31st), a new puzzle will be made available using old event images. For each puzzle completed throughout the month, a new background item using a portion of the week’s puzzle will be released as a permanent shop item.

Since many of our event backgrounds come from the collection images, the Puzzle Blitz backgrounds will focus on a different portion of the image than the original backgrounds. For example, the puzzle for the first week features the collection image from the Spring Blossom Festival event. The original background item from that event is pictured below, alongside what will be the Puzzle Blitz version:

 
But how will the puzzle itself work?

We’ll be using puzzle.aggie.io to create and host the jigsaw puzzles. This allows anyone who follows the link to work on the puzzle together, meaning this will be a community-wide effort. You may remain anonymous as you work if you wish, as there are no participation parameters to meet for this activity.

It’s entirely possible that puzzles will be solved before the end of the week. If this is the case, and there’s still several days left before the next puzzle, we may mark down your victory and reset the puzzle so that any latecomers can still enjoy it. We also may need to adjust the number of pieces as the month progresses. But, we’ll cross those bridges when we come to them!

What about these bonus puzzles?

The speed with which everyone solved the first puzzle took Crow by surprise! So, each week will also have a total of 2 bonus puzzles, the first of which will be unlocked after the main puzzle has been solved, and the second of which will be unlocked after the first bonus puzzle has been solved. The bonus puzzles will utilize our event banner art, which will then be used to create a new avatar background for the shops!

this was so cool and fun! the puzzle JUST got completed im happy i was able to get a piece in and i super look forward to being able to play with the next one more and participate some more from the start! what a cute and fun communal idea and a great way to showcase some more of this BEAUTIFUL art we as a community otherwise may not get to appreciate!
Posted 10/03/22
oh no it’s already completed 8( maybe i’ll be able to catch the next one before it’s finished aha

Considering how early in the week the puzzle was completed, most likely they’ll be resetting the puzzle to give other people a chance at it. There should still be an opportunity to work with the rest of the community on this first one.

Will have to try this on my desktop because my tablet won’t move the screen to let me see the whole thing. I can zoom in and out but that’s it. Hopefully the puzzle won’t be solved by then xD!

@LAsDarkFireWolf   having similar issues on my laptop tbh.. I can scroll in/out, but when clicking or trying to drag the puzzle pieces the pieces just rotate like 90% of the time X_X;;
Posted 10/05/22

Oh dear TeaTales ! Do you have a desktop you can use to try?

I’m also wondering if we try but can’t get it to work, or try but maybe don’t get any piece solved do we still get a prize or no we don’t cause we didn’t make any recordable progress? ._.;

As we have no way to track progress for this activity, and since we can’t make any changes to accommodate issues players might have with the puzzle due to it being an outside site, prizes will not be distributed individually. Instead, the backgrounds will be a permanent addition to the shops for everyone to enjoy. :)

Posted 10/05/22
This week’s second bonus puzzle has been solved!

Which means this avatar background has been unlocked:

That was a lot of fun! I didn’t expect to spend 8 hours of my day on a jigsaw puzzle but it happened lol. Glad I managed to catch one!

For some reason I didnt get notificated o you having tagged me.. ( resulting in me completley forgetting about this event )
but yes I am on a desktop.. or rather a laptop im not using phone as my phone is WAY too old for that, and tablet i dont own I just have a laptop and a   mouse and the mouse is fairly new still i got those struggles, but seeing how all the puzzles are solved now, I guess it doent matter.
