Ji Ga Zo Puzzle: Personalized Puzzled from Your Photos

Ji Ga Zo Puzzle

Use the shaded pieces in this set to build personalized mosaic-style puzzles!

This unique puzzle can be rearranged to create millions of face combinations - including yourself, your friends, and even your pets.

The Ji Ga Zo's pieces have varying levels of Sepia-colored gradations on one side and distinguishing symbols on the other. When the pieces are locked together, any face can be created. The key to this puzzle is the advanced Ji Ga Zo software, which produces a unique symbol map that shows where each of the pieces should be placed on the assembly grid.

To start, take a picture of your subject. Any digital image will work. Upload your image using the Ji Ga Zo software to create a puzzle map on your computer, then build your puzzle! Arrange the shaded pieces according to the icon map and see your image magically appear!



This puzzle has endless possibilities and can be used over and over and over again!
