    Patent number: 4756533

Multiple jig saw puzzles, with identical jig saw patterns, are played by contestants simultaneously, puzzle pieces for all the puzzles received from a common, unsegregated, pool. Each contestant is challenged to separate the puzzle pieces using only visual clues on their faces, to place the puzzle pieces in the correct places, and to collect all the pieces needed to solve one or more puzzles. The game readily is combined with other promotional games, such as instant win games and sweepstake games.
