Piecing the World Back Together

world map puzzle with a few squares still missing

The world is fractured and divided like never before. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to put the Earth back together.

The Map Puzzle Factory is a huge collection of map puzzles. Each puzzle is a map of a part of the world which has been divided into a collection of small squares. You simply have to drag the squares into their correct position on the map. In other words - each game is a map jigsaw which you have to piece together to make the completed map.

The puzzles are really fun to play - and a lot more challenging than they appear at first. So far I have only managed to complete the map of France (although I am on the verge of completing the world map). There are lots of puzzles listed on the Map Puzzle Factory home page, categorized by difficulty (level) and type (world, country or city map). Here are a few direct links to a few of the puzzles:

Note:

The Map Puzzle Factory is in Japanese but using Chrome's automatic translations I was able to easily navigate the site and play the individual puzzles. Each game however does seem to have a weird bug. The first time I press the 'start' or 'continue reading' button on a puzzle the game redirects to an error page. However I have found that refreshing the page and pressing 'continue reading' seems to let you play the game.
