Sprint Weekend Stage 8: Jigsaw

Stage description

You have to complete a jigsaw of an urban orienteering map, as quickly as possible.

Recommended device

Desktop computer or laptop.

Details

We’ll be using Jigsaw Planet. You don’t need to register, but we recommend that you play some warm-up games before playing the actual stage.

Warm-up

You can try some other jigsaws of urban orienteering maps on Jigsaw Planet before moving on to the real thing:

The stage

The stage will be available from 21:00 BST on Saturday 25th April.

Fair play:

To make it a fair competition, you must only do the stage once – your first go is the one that counts!
You must not use the ‘Image’, ‘Ghost’ or ‘Arrange’ buttons – these would make it too easy!

There’ll be 60 jigsaw pieces in total. You have to arrange the pieces to create a sprint orienteering map.

Your result will be based on how long you take to complete the jigsaw.

When you’re ready to play:

Go to this link.
Arrange the jigsaw pieces to complete the map.
Take a screenshot or photo as proof of your time – we may ask to see it.
Submit your time via our results website.

You MUST complete this stage AND submit your time by 16:00 BST on Sunday 26th April.

Submitting your time makes our lives easier and means that we can produce the overall results more quickly 🙂

If you have any issues, please contact us.

Results

We’ll rank everyone’s results in order. First place gets 1000 points, second place 999 points, third place 998 points, and so on. If you miss the deadline for submitting your result, you’ll lose 50 points (unless your lateness is caused by the organisers).
