How do you know I'm not cheating when entering times?
Honestly - we probably won't. In the public leaderboard, where puzzlers enter times themselves, we rely on the honesty and integrity of each individual puzzler. Would you really enjoy a dishonestly entered result?
We assume that, like us, other puzzlers assemble primarily for the joy of it, and the times from this type of assembly are indicative for a rough idea of how we compare to others and will measure up during some competition. Tell me, wouldn't it look suspicious if I had a time of 20 minutes on the platform but took 3 hours during a competition?
In the future, we also plan rated leagues, where time verification might be required, for example, through video recording.
Since our community includes finalists of the World Jigsaw Championship, who have placed at the top, we can take their times as reference. Suspicious times will be monitored and if fraud is proven, they will be mercilessly deleted. In case of repeated cheating, the player's access to the platform will be restricted.
I received puzzles with a QR code and myspeedpuzzling.com logo, what should I do?
To make assembling and entering times as pleasant as possible for you, we add a QR code to all puzzles that pass through our hands - scanning it takes you to the page with the given puzzles, where you can directly start timing or enter your time.
If you'd like to help spread the word about speedpuzzling and add a flyer with a QR code to your puzzles, please write to us - we'll send you a PDF that you can print out, or we can mail you printed flyers directly.
Can I add time for puzzles not on the platform?
Definitely! If you've assembled a puzzle that isn't yet on our platform, when adding time, switch to the option:
Then you have the option to select from a list of manufacturers. If the manufacturer is also not in the database, you can enter it yourself.
How do I edit or delete an entered time?
In the My Profile section, next to each entered time, you'll find a link to edit (the link looks like a pencil icon ).
On the editing page, at the very bottom, there's a that once and for all deletes the record from the entire internet.
What does the button do?
Opens the stopwatch with selected puzzles - you can start assembling and timing right away.
What does the button do?
Opens adding your time to selected puzzles - suitable if you use your own stopwatch and have just finished assembling. If you assembled in the past and want to record the time, you have the option to also specify the date you assembled.
