The present invention aims to provide a jigsaw puzzle in which pieces are kept at a certain size or smaller and can interlock with other pieces, even if rotated, and to enhance a game-playing property and an interlocking property at the time of assembling such a jigsaw puzzle. A jigsaw puzzle piece 1 can interlock with other pieces 1 by interlocking portions each composed of at least one pair of projections 10 and recesses 11 and provided on a corresponding one of four sides of a rectangle. The respective sides are shaped to be point symmetrical with respect to a center 12 of the rectangle, and the piece can interlock with other pieces regardless of its orientation. Curvatures of a cutting die are maximized by slight inclinations of the respective pieces. By assigning a short-distance visible mark 20 to 22, which makes the orientation of the piece discriminable, to the top surface of each piece, a game-playing method can be provided which is different from assembling of conventional jigsaw puzzles.
A jigsaw puzzle piece capable of interlocking with other pieces by interlocking portions each composed of at least one pair of projections and recesses and provided on a corresponding one of four sides of a square, wherein:
