Computer jigsaw puzzles

Enjoy fantastic and elegant beauty of Japan: Kioto's palaces and temples, sakura trees, and geishas, japanese gardens, shoguns' castles, urban sights of Tokyo, tea ceremonies and festivals. All you need to see them is solving the puzzles.

Astra Jigsaw Japan includes 100 fascinating unique-styled computer jigsaw puzzles. For each puzzle you can choose seven different styles of pieces and smoothly change the number of pieces from 40 to 2700. In the most challenging style named Figure the pieces are shaped as animals, birds, insects, fruits and other objects.

This creative game is good both for kids and adults. To make a puzzle easier to play, add the picture frame and turn off the rotation of pieces.

To manage a vast number of pieces, you can use two main windows and four pockets. Select a group of pieces to move or neatly arrange them at once. To examine small pieces, use the Magnifying Glass. To make jigsaw more realistic, choose the visual effects.
