Damn virus! By now we think nothing else about SARS-CoV-2 and its disease COVID-19, but beyond frustration, we can put up a good fight if we stay home and follow the quarantine. Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield shared some very useful tips to endure isolation, and if you prefer a dose of classic entertainment, the Pluto TV portal offers dozens of free TV channels and movies. However, you can always take on the challenge of a good jigsaw puzzle. Today we're going to recommend three sites to visit and distract yourself with for a while…
Let's see: We have more than twenty free games you can enjoy right now. Then there's "Me Aburre la Cuarentena" portal, so requested that it's currently returning a 503 error. And then we come across QuarantineChat, a new system similar to Chatroulette and Omegle that connects people in quarantine around the world. The crown jewel? None other than Pornhub, with all its premium content unlocked until April 23.
In short: I think there's no reason for you to get bored during self-isolation, but… I understand those options may not be to your liking. How about deeper, more analytical entertainment, if you will? For example... a jigsaw puzzle? If the answer is yes, then don't hesitate to visit these three sites.
Jigsaw Explorer
The content of Jigsaw Explorer is divided into daily puzzles, the most popular, and the so-called 'Friday Mystery', which reveals the image as you progress with your solution. The interface is very clean, you can set the number of pieces, allow rotation for greater difficulty, or change the background color. Want more? In that case, load your own images and create puzzles with them.
The Jigsaw Puzzles
The Jigsaw Puzzleshttps://thejigsawpuzzles.com/ holds an impressive collection where you can explore categories defined as Streets, Castles, Animals, Bridges, Fruits and Vegetables, and much more. A very interesting aspect is that besides specifying the number of pieces, it also allows us to choose the type of cut for them. Choose the 'elegant', 'mosaic' or 'spiral' format and you'll immediately see how the challenge changes.
Jigsaw Planet
The top of Jigsaw Planet is dominated by random puzzles, but the featured ones concentrate the main offering. In the Explore menu you'll find shortcuts to the most played from the beginning, in the last week, or recently. If you need help during a game, click the Ghost button, which will activate a semi-transparent copy of the image to use as a guide.
Anyway, I think you'll have your hands full of puzzles for several days, but we're going to leave with a last-minute bonus: JigsawPuzzles.io, which has a very special feature: solving jigsaw puzzles cooperatively. If you have a couple of friends who enjoy this kind of game, then don't hesitate. Good luck, and stay home!
