Name

Originally this was called “Cozy Jigsaw” - which was fine. It describes what it is, a jigsaw game. And it describes a feeling, which is what I am aiming for. However, on a dive one day it was fairly obvious that this name was already used by several other people, most notably for some physical puzzle games.

So then was spent an age trying to think up a new name for the game, until I gave up and settled on “A Puzzle or Two” which, I think, sort of does the same thing. It’s a puzzle game, it’s a gentle phrase, it sort of leads into it. The downside is that it’s more of a sentence that a name.

But as important as a name is, I can see myself spending forever thinking something up. So for the moment, that’s what it’s called. The webpage hosting the beta is called cozy jigsaw and that’s fine for the moment.

It did make me think, that should I ever get this to the place where I’m happy with it then the next thing I want to try is the complete opposite and I will call it “Extreme Jigsaw!” - a competitive, loud, vibrant jigsaw puzzle game. I mean, c’mon, how could that fail?!
