00:00This here for sure is one of the most relaxing things you will do on your VR
00:17headset. I have owned this app for about two years and now and then I like to
00:22jump in and do a jigsaw. I always found jigsaws relaxing, my family would often
00:28leave a jigsaw on the table and everyone would occasionally sit down and do a few
00:32pieces as they lasted. The menus are really nice presented, easy to understand,
00:38your library is right in front of you, settings, controls, tutorial and the store
00:44where you can purchase more monthly puzzle packs. It already comes with quite
00:50a lot of puzzles to get you started but the monthly packs cost about four pound
00:55each and you get around six puzzles in each pack. When you select your puzzle
01:00you can decide on how many pieces you would like your puzzle to be. I think the
01:05choices are mostly 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 though some puzzles do have more like the
01:13Natural History Museum in the London Park has 1,000 pieces. The puzzles look
01:20fantastic, it really is such a joy to see it all come together. There is also sound
01:26effects on each puzzle, it's a small detail but it really does make that
01:31difference. Also in some of the puzzles you can look inside, again it's a small
01:37detail but just offers something unique. The controls are dead simple, you're
01:43gonna have these mastered within minutes. It also offers a pass through option
01:49which is really cool but personally I found it hard to see the pieces along
01:55with my background so I don't use the pass through but again it's going to
02:00depend on the size of the puzzle and your room space with light. You could
02:05also change the colours of the background to suit your preference and
02:08you have a choice to turn the audio on or off. Multiplayer is another option in
02:14this game so you and one of the friends can play together, just enter the same
02:18room number which you decide and then off you go. This is just great for
02:23sitting in bed at night and getting yourself relaxed though be warned time
02:28will fly by so fast and also be careful if you have a wife, husband, kids or pets
02:34in a bed you may accidentally slap them in the face while picking away at pieces.
02:38So I score Puzzling Places a 30 out of 30 and you can find my scoring system in a
