Jigsaw Puzzle, our passion.
Since four year now, Günther Simetsberger has been organizing the World Puzzle Day in Facebook. This is an original event, which allows all jigsaw puzzle lovers to be reunited around the same virtual table to complete puzzles.
- Anyone having a Facebook account may register. The event will begin on 1st January 2016 at exactly 00:00, and will end on 29th February at 24:00. During these two months, participants from all over the world will complete puzzles of 1000, 2000, 3000 or 4000 pieces while staying at home.
- The only requirement is to regularly post pictures on Facebook to show the progress of the puzzle, and of course a photo of the puzzle once completed! Günther will take care of the very regular update of the statistics, so everyone will be able to follow the progress of the event.
- In order to avoid some "cheating" (I do not see the advantage, as we do not gain anything and it is purely for fun...), we will have to add in the pictures an object which nature will be revealed only at the last moment, this will be the proof that the puzzle was indeed completed during those two months and not before.
We are puzzled ! will participate this year for the second time. Last Year Cathy was the only representative from Belgium, and she completed 3 puzzles of 2.000 pieces.
This year we will participate as a team and try to contribute a bit more to the final score. In 2015, there were 643 persons registered and 1.266.412 parts assembled in total. Will we succeed to do better this year?
We find the idea very original and above all immensely friendly: how bring together people from all horizons, cultural backgrounds, language, religion and gender, without prejudice and without discrimination? Simply by forgetting the differences and bringing closer those passionates around a common hobby that has no boundaries.
