New Ice Breaker: Collaborative Jigsaw Puzzle! 🧩

Really nice one @Henrik Ståhl. #mirofication 👍🏽👌🏽

@Henrik Ståhl thanks for sharing and thanks for flagging @Robert Johnson 😊 We’ll make it work !

WOW, Such prompt responses I am impressed.
Thank you for the replies and helping. 

I’m trying to create a net new puzzle and learn the process to pass on to others. My intention is to host a team event in Miro and use the puzzle as an ice breaker; however, I do anticipate once I hold this meeting it will be asked “how did you do that”? I would prefer not to be the only one with the knowledge on how to and thus in the learning mode. 

I have a photo, a puzzle image, and can user either MS word, Power Point to create the desired puzzle.

I’ve been able to use PPT and take an image, set it as BKG, and then overlay the puzzle image with layering for a now puzzle layer. I have been using insert shapes and drawing over each of the puzzle pieces individually.   

I was wondering if there’s a way to “cut” or “mark” the puzzle pieces into their respective shapes without having to draw each image. Then having to save each one as an image, like you said a bit tedious.

Am I doing this right or is there another way?

Again thank you for responses and willingness to help. 

@Shira Re'em I'm glad to hear you had fun Shira! It was really fun to make the template as well. Even though it took a couple of hours to create the Joan Miró puzzle… 😅

@Henrik Ståhl - Heads up: The template on the Miroverse appears to be broken. The like of the board is: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVO49JjXo=/

But the four board links in the “Ready? Let’s go!” box are all pointing to another board: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVO5YczSU=/

The result: Anyone who duplicates the template to their account and uses the links in the “Ready? Let’s go!” box will be taken to boards to which they have no access.

The workaround: Manual pan down to the desired puzzle.

@Henrik Ståhl sure! What link should we use instead?

@Robert Johnson I haven’t mentioned it! 😊

I used a puzzle grid similar to this one:

Opened it in Photoshop and made it transparent, placed it on top of the image I wanted to make a jigsaw of, marked a selection, and copy-pasted the individual piece into a separate image file. Saved them as PNGs.

It was a bit tedious and I am 100% sure there’s a much easier way to do it, but it got the job done! 😄

Thanks a lot @Said Saddouk, so glad you like it! 🙏 Let me know how fast you finish the 🤯😱🥴 puzzle if you ever attempt it. Hehe.

Love the this idea.

Would like help to create my own version in Miro but not sure how. Need assistance please?

@Joe T Hmm, I’m not sure PPT or Word is sufficient to make the individual pieces properly? I’m no expert on either of those tools though. The most important part is that the background is transparent, otherwise you might have som unpleasant overlaps between jigsaw pieces.
