Family Game Night Ideas: Multiplayer Jigsaw Puzzles

Game night doesn't have to mean competition and tears. A co-op jigsaw puzzle is the rare activity that's relaxing and collaborative — everyone works toward the same picture, at any age, with no one getting knocked out.

Why a shared puzzle is perfect for families

• Truly all ages. A five-year-old and a grandparent can contribute to the same board.
• Cooperative, not cut-throat. You win together, which keeps the mood warm.
• Across any distance. Grandkids in one city, grandparents in another — same puzzle, live.
