Puzzle Forms an Image of ANY Face

By Queuebot in Toys on Nov 19, 2009 at 11:32 am

Mark Setteducati and Ken Knowlton have invented a unique puzzle marketed in Japan as "Jingazo." The puzzle includes 300 jigsaw pieces that can be arranged to form a picture of anybody’s face. The puzzle works in conjunction with an online interface. Users upload an image and recieve instructions on how to arrange the shaded puzzle pieces. You can create pictures of yourself, your friends or even your pets. Currently, The Jingazo Puzzle is only available in Japan but a U.S. release is planned for the near future.

That would make a great Christmas gift. I’d love to get retail from Japan in October. I could make a bundle. :p

would it still work for people with lots of hair (that need more black ’tiles’)? How about bald people who don’t need any black?

neat regardless

You probably could play with the contrast and brightness/gamma on the input image to give. So, it might turn black people into white and blondes into brunettes. I think it’s another brunette conspiracy.

Haha, he did the puzzle wrong. It looks more like Yao Ming after huffing some glue. Very neat nonetheless.
