Here is what a long-time Jigidi user, Connie, shares about her experience with Jigidi:

My husband, diagnosed with dementia, started using Jigidi puzzles as a way to challenge his mind. He has done over 500 puzzles, progressing from 60 pieces to 120-150 pieces. The progress he has made is amazing, and he is very proud of his accomplishments.

Testimonials from Our Community

Here are some stories from Jigidi users that speak to the benefits of our puzzle community:

I have been with JIGIDI since 2014. I have thoroughly enjoyed creating and solving puzzles. I have met many friends and enjoy sharing our thoughts about puzzles and life in general. I also post my puzzles on Facebook for friends who are not on JIGIDI. I am almost 85 years young and I feel jigsaw puzzles are very helpful in preventing or delaying the onset of dementia. JIGIDI is one of the best things to happen to my daily life.

I have been a Jigidi player for quite a few years now, and I find this site my main go-to when I want to unwind or just look at (and solve) lovely pictures. Often educational when posters explain the origin or circumstances of the image they propose, but always fun and challenging. I would NOT do without Jigidi.

Jigidi is a wonderful place. I can solve jigsaw puzzles and send and receive messages to and from people all over the world! I have found some dear friends in the ten years I have been on this site and happily I was able to meet a few of them in person. Jigidi is making my world a better place!
