Large puzzles

Well, I saw in news that there is a igridd book with puzzles larger than 50x50.

Does this mean it will be also possible in near future to submit such larger puzzles in workshop?

I have a 600x600 puzzle waiting )

Some explanations about the Large Puzzles.

Large puzzles will only be on paper, not online. The applet to wider/higher puzzles will be too heavy to download, besides, even the maximum size (50x50) grid we have online is too big for some solvers.

Since those puzzles can only be on paper, we still need to see how attractive they are. We make books upon demand, if there will be a need for large puzzles we will ask our creators to make them for us, and set the workshop for those sizes.

In the International Meeting in Delft we had a one part 500x500 puzzle. The following picture shows how big this puzzle is:



We still hope that someone will be able to solve it. :-)

You have a 600x600 image? It is too big for the workshop! The maximum is 500x500. i.e.: 100 parts of 50x50. So, you will need to make it smaller first and sent it to the team to review it before submission.

Nice - River Bliss, right? ... well, I tried generating PDF with my puzzle and the dimensions were 2.5mx2.5m ... as to the workshop, I have proven that the puzzle as whole is solvable (my "workshop" does not have 500x500 limitation) I am not sure if it will still be solvable after breaking into parts ...
maybe I'll just post the PDF somewhere )

Not that we know of. I am sure that the first to solve it will shout YAY! in here.
How are you doing with it?

Hi,

The only way to solve River Bliss is on paper. And that's for several reasons, but one of the most important is the size - on paper it is like 2,5 x 2,5 meters. Maybe you could make it half that size and still have the clues readable, but still, it would be way too large to fit on your screen...

You can download the puzzle and print it (it's 96 pages), if you want to work on it!

I left it for about a year... Now just started over with River Bliss, hoping that this year, I can solve it! ^^
I have two months vacation and a lot of time! =D
