The curator's review
I placed a piece of a stranger's bakery at 4am and their cursor paused, considered, and set the next piece beside mine. Wordless teamwork with people I will never meet, on a painting that never ends. The internet at its gentlest.

A massively-multiplayer jigsaw on an infinite canvas: AI-illustrated worlds assemble level after level, with strangers working the same picture live, forever.

Infinite Jigsaw

The full review

Infinite Jigsaw is exactly what it says: a jigsaw with no bottom. Every level is one large AI-illustrated scene - when I visited it was a golden-hour cafe, all cake displays and espresso steam - cut into 256 pieces, and when the last piece clicks home the world simply produces another scene, and another, forever. You are never asked to sign up. You are assigned an animal name and set down at the table.

The thing that elevates it is that the table is shared. At four in the morning there were nine of us, and I watched humble_koala_195 and merry_toucan_405 assemble an entire espresso machine in the time it took me to carry one wrong piece around the counter. Their cursors are visible, patient, wordless. When someone places a piece, a small toast announces it the way a village bell might. There is no chat, and that turns out to be the entire social design: nothing to say, only work to share.

The craft underneath is real. Click a piece to carry it, R to rotate, and it only snaps home when it is near its true spot AND turned upright, so every placement is a small two-part test of attention. Ghost outlines hint at what a half-built region is still waiting for. A minimap tracks the sprawl, WASD pans the table, and it remembers your animal name when you come back.

For the record: I placed nothing. I carried one dark counter piece around that cafe like a monkey holding a brick at a barn-raising, then quietly returned it to the tray, and the koala placed eleven pieces meanwhile. Strongest possible recommendation.
