What this game is like

Instead of driving anything, you rebuild it. A photograph of a car is cut into pieces and shuffled, and your job is to drag each fragment back where it belongs until the picture is whole again. Nothing is chasing you, so you can stare at the same stubborn piece for as long as you like, which is exactly why people open a jigsaw when they want the noise in their head to settle.

A starting order helps more than raw patience. Pull out the pieces with a straight edge first, because those form the frame, and once the border is closed the middle suddenly looks smaller. After that, follow whatever separates cleanly on the car itself: the line of the headlights, the curve of a wheel arch, the seam where paint meets shadow. Save the flat stretches of road and sky for last, since those are the ones that lie to your eyes.

At My Urban Eatery this sits on the jigsaw shelf, the quietest corner of the site. It suits people who like cars and like work with a clear finish line, where the round ends the moment the last piece drops in and no score arrives to tell you whether that was good enough.
