If you look on my page you can see it has 1 entry now. :D
At least 3 people have found it so far because some commented and didn't enter.
If you read the description above I did subtly hint which game it might be with a clue on how to find it, maybe I was a bit too subtle ;)

The last part of the url was "d". I didn't capitalise the d in the first sentence of the description so that was the clue. Sometimes when people make hidden giveaways they make deliberate spelling or grammar mistakes - if you see 5 such mistakes that is a good clue there is something hidden.
Only the 50 was straightforward, there is a small trick to the Hl also (it doesn't spell hi, the second letter is a lower-case L).

The fast times are easy to explain.
It give a very easy way to stop the timer ans activate it again, as example short before you solve the puzzle. People use it to cheat and be the "first solver" that got special wins, Links to special GA's and such stuff.
I can't remember me exactly how they activate that trick but it was very easy and a lot know that "bug/exploit".
But i don't seen much "special rewards for fast solving" since a lot of months, so maybe the solver were only fast (or wanted to cheat a bit at his solving time but don't got something extra for it).

Ohh I was joking :D I had no idea people actually cheated! Doesn't surprise me though, especially when there used to be incentives. But like with anything there are people out there who are just insanely fast so that's interesting to see. Hope they all don't cheat anymore :)

Mainly practice, a good monitor also helps.
For some images, like the last one, it's also good to switch backgrounds(at least with my monitor which obviously isn't good enough for such jigidis)
Edit: And I should probably add that I'm a veteran of such puzzles like:
White rabbits in the snow - 494 pieces
Sadistic puzzle - 442 white pieces - that was part of a event as far as I remember ;)
And few others like that. At some point jigidis like that were quite popular as a gateway measuring effort in multistaged puzzles or similar events

Oh good point! Mine is a 17 inch monitor so while not small, a lot of people will have much bigger screens or higher quality ones - I never thought of that! I was hoping some speedy people would show up so I could find out just how haha. Mystery solved :D
You watch, people will come and shame me now with tales of leaderboard awesomeness despite tiny screens :p

The size isn't that important, yet obviously having the pieces placed evenly on the whole surface helps. Yet that's more important for the small ones where you can see all the pieces this way. I was referring to the contrast and color palette more. For example my old monitor didn't have good coverage of shades of orange, and pieces in that colour looked almost the same. On my new one I can usually distinguish them without trouble.
Yet even my new one doesn't have enough contrast for darker images. In that case switching to a dark background helps a lot. Try viewing few darker puzzles with different backgrounds. It will make a huge difference

I was wondering if that was my downfall, spending too much time sorting the pieces, I do wish they weren't overlapping each other at the start. I know I'll never as speedy as you or anyone else that's as talented though haha, that's fine by me :)
It's a shame this site doesn't give out titles, you should have "Puzzle Master" or something!
Thankfully I have noticed you can change the background colour, I do feel sorry for anyone who hasn't noticed and somehow has the last one stuck on green xD

Leaderboards say otherwise :D
And I doubt it :p I don't like jigsaws that much to try for it :) also got a bit of the ol' chronic illness going on which slows me down, some times more than others, would be nice to be a little faster with the jigidis on my good days though :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oof they sound painful!
I didn't want to be too mean with mine, I've learned though some people just really like jigidis! Way more solves than entries so far!
I recently did this one https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/uCLEa/a-christmas-jigidi-slime-rancher-level-0-405-pcs and I see you're at the top of that one too :D
It took me nearly 2 hours xD

No need to say happy cakeday
Happy cakeday anyway!
Yeah, I'm a rebel :P

Thank you :)
Oh no! This is the worst time of year for that kind of thing too :/
I tried to make them so they wouldn't take too long, it might also be worth your while to complete them after the deadline, if you do it before I delete them on christmas eve ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually just do them to relax so I can squeeze a few during night shifts and they look fun. I'll put them on top of my list so I know they have to be done before Xmas.
Oh no! This is the worst time of year for that kind of thing too :/
We're usually pretty well organized around the holidays but the massive strike in public transport has left a lot of people stuck or taking hours to get anywhere so I've had a lot of "you mind staying another couple hours?" that turn into another 6 hours.
I'm better off than most though because I live close enough to work that I can do it on my bike and I can use the extra cash so it's all fine. My girlfriend would disagree though lol
We barely cross paths on our way from/to work these days. oops.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, the deadline is 17th December at 6pm GMT for those 3 giveaways. But there may be something up until the 24th ;)
Aww like ships in the night! 💔
Hopefully you will get to spend more time together when these strikes stop then! UK train strikes by any chance?
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh more like trains in the fog since we're always running and barely standing up/just getting up.
UK train strikes by any chance?
Nope. French strikes. Just the usual kickoff for the holidays here lol but it's annoying in big cities like Paris where many people depend entirely on public transportation because cars are just impractical. I have a bike and thankfully it's not freezing yet, so the boss counts on the few of us who can make it to work for sure.
We'll get time together during the holidays anyway and I'll be getting days off to make up for my extra shifts. Plus I like the work. And we stay very connected throughout the time we're apart. Phones and texts don't replace a solid cuddle though ;)
Hope you enjoy your loved ones for the holidays.

Oh wow, yeah I went to Paris once - your metro is great! Much faster than London's haha. It must be chaos right now :/
Ohh I'm glad you're getting extra days off for your overtime! Didn't quite work that way where I used to work lol, I hated getting dragged in for boxing day too because that was the bigger day for me when I saw more family. Glad to be done with that place!

Yeah people working retail and related jobs have it tough for the holidays. I feel bad just shopping on those days lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha you knew - yep it was retail xD
I never quite understood what people could possibly need on boxing day,especially since the supermarket where I worked didn't have much for boxing day sales. I guess people can blame the shoppers for turning up but really once one shop decides it's going to be open then they all have to open so I absolutely blame whichever shop decided that first ;)

For some reason the jigidis puzzles don't show up for me when I click the link :( happy cakeday though :)

Hi! This my first time making a puzzle, my 2nd cakeday and I made 3 jigidis :)
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Level 1, 144 pieces
Talewind, Level 2, 170 pieces
Portal Knights, Level 3, 190 pieces
The three Jigidi giveaways end 17th December at 6pm GMT.
If you really love jigidis and feel it's your call of duty to complete them all even if you aren't going to enter the giveaways, then feel free to do so at your leisure, well at least until christmas eve, when I'll delete the jigidis.
I'm sorry this is the case, but one of the giveaways has a region lock. If you're from one of the following countries you won't be able to enter that giveaway (blame Humble Bundle, not my choice 😢).
