Storytelling meets puzzling
Stuzzles is an AI app that scans the progress of a jigsaw puzzle and releases content at staged intervals.
Puzzling is more than the satisfaction of snapping two pieces together. It’s about creating order from chaos, about working towards something meaningful.
The purpose
In 1760, John Spilsbury created the first jigsaw puzzle as a learning tool. Its purpose was to involve the learner into purposefully recreating a map. This enjoyable activity created a multitude of new connections in the brain securing the newly learned information.
One mystery however, remained for centuries…
Why was puzzling so enjoyable?
The science
Modern science has uncovered a fascinating fact about puzzling.
When playing a jigsaw puzzle, our brains switch to Alpha state. That is the same state our brain is in while we dream. It is one of the only times our brain is focused yet completely relaxed, when we tap into our subconscious mind while we are awake.
Focused
Looking for the right piece keeps our brain focused
Relaxed
Fitting pieces released dopamine, relaxing our brain
Immersed
The perfect time to learn new information is when the brain is relaxed and focused
