How 3D jigsaw puzzle games work
A 3D jigsaw puzzle game uses three-dimensional pieces, not a flat photo sliced into tiles. On SwingPuzzles every piece has real depth and smoothly rounded edges, so you can turn it in space the way you would a physical piece. It runs in a normal browser tab with WebGL — no headset and no app. This guide explains how that differs from a classic on-screen jigsaw; Play opens the board.

Browser, not VR
No download and no headset. The board runs in a normal browser window using WebGL — phone, tablet, or desktop.
