For when you’re already on a call
Something to do with your hands while you talk.
Calls go easier with something gentle happening between you. Open a table, both build the same puzzle, each from your own picture, and let the conversation wander while the pieces come together. Keep your usual call on, or use the voice that is built in.

No more awkward silences
A reason for the quiet bits.
The best calls have lulls. They are just easier when your hands are busy and there is something small to point at. “Oh, that corner finally fits.” The puzzle gives the conversation somewhere to rest, instead of a silence you both feel you have to fill.
Everything in one tab
Build, type and talk without switching apps.
Voice and text chat are both built right into the table. The voice runs peer to peer, straight between your two devices, with a text chat sitting alongside it. So you can move pieces, drop a quick message and talk, all in the same window, with nothing to alt-tab to and no second app to set up. One honest note: because the voice connects directly between your two devices, a strict work firewall or office network can sometimes block it. The text chat runs through the room and always gets through, and your usual call app is always there to fall back on.
How it works
Already talking? You’re seconds away.
first
Open a table
Pick a picture or upload your own. No sign-up, nothing to install. It is a web page.
then
Drop the link in the call
Paste it into the chat you are already in. One tap and they are building with you.
and
Keep talking
Two screens, same puzzle. Voice and a text chat are built in if you would rather not juggle apps.
Why it beats the usual call games
Calm, not chaotic.
Nothing to win or lose
No buzzers, no scores, no one knocked out. Just a slow, shared thing that runs as long as the call does.
Your own picture each
Same pieces, but you each build a photo that means something to you, so it is never a stranger’s stock image.
One link, any device
Phone, laptop, whatever is nearest. No download, so there is nothing to talk anyone through installing.
Questions
A few honest answers.
Do I need FaceTime, Zoom or Discord?
No. There is voice built in, straight between the two of you. But if you are already on a call you love, keep it running and use this just for the puzzle. Either works.
Is it free?
Yes. No app, no account, no paywall. Open a table in the browser and send the link.
What if the built-in voice will not connect?
Voice is peer-to-peer, so a strict firewall can occasionally block it. The text chat always gets through, and you can always fall back to your usual call app.
Can we each build a different picture?
Yes. Same pieces for both of you, but each person can bring their own photo. It is the bit no other puzzle does.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, phone or laptop, right in the browser. Handy when the call is already on your phone.
