Updates about the JPiC

As the Event date get closer more details about the JPiC are made public:

• One thing JPiC intends to do when entering the Metaverse with a fully 3D immersive puzzling experience is offer businesses to have their whole collection or catalogue digitalized so online puzzlers can complete them at a lower cost or even shop for the real one online and have it delivered. The possibilities for any business are endless if they join JPiC and our PuzzleVerse.
  
• We will be developing fully immersive 3D puzzle games in TCG World Metaverse. 
• Companies could have their collections digitalized or even their store on our metaverse land (PuzzleVerse or Puzzle Land), that is why the Metaverse is linked to PUZL Coin. By digitalizing their collection, they increase their revenue, which can then be reinvested more easily to develop new designs or sign with new artists. New markets can discover a brand, their collection and their artists without any shipping costs.
  
• Current guest speakers: Jill Walterbach (World's Largest Handcut Wood Puzzle), The Enigma, (full-body jigsaw-puzzle tattoo), The Hamilton Family (the family has completed over 200 Christmas puzzles) and Dr. Linda Miller (Dr. Miller’s specialty is helping pre-millennium companies find post-millennium success).

I have an update from Karine Déry and here's what she has to share with us this month...

"We will showcase the Guiness World Record jigsaw puzzle of 101,010 pieces that was entirely cut by the artist Jill Walterbach. She will be on our center stage talking about her journey and answering questions.

We are also in contact with another Guiness World record holder. Artist, performer and entertainer The Enigma who has 2,123 puzzle pieces tattooed on his full body.

JPiC Competitions: Adult Singles, Adult Pairs, Adult Teams, Junior (11-15 yo) and Mini (5-10 yo). Rules for all 5 competitions will be posted on our website and social media accounts next week.

Details about how the Ultimate Challenge (a team of expert puzzlers that will attempt to complete the largest puzzles in the world) will run during the 3 day event, will also be posted. Other activities than the ones listed are being added, turning the traditional convention into a theme park for puzzlers."

I had a chance to chat with Karine Déry, the CEO/Founder of the JPiC (Jigsaw Puzzle International Convention). She had recently announced that she has a 54000 piece jigsaw puzzle on order which she is still waiting for delivery. The "Travel Around Art" is the current world's largest  and she tells me it comes in 27 bags - WOW!  In the meantime, she just received a 6000 piece Clementoni that comes in one bag which she is hoping to complete and showcase at the Convention's Art Gallery... THAT will be challenging!

I asked if the Floor Plans for the Convention on the website were up to date and she said no, as they have partners in Las Vegas, Alliance, that are creating an official Autocad layout. She said Alex (JPiC Co-Founder) is traveling to Vegas in a couple of weeks to finalize the floor plan.

I asked when will you have a complete list of confirmed Vendors for public viewing and she replied at the end of February. Our target is currently a minimum of 500 vendors.

I wondered if there is anything significant that I should mention such as upcoming promos or deadlines or cutoff times? She answered "No, but we strongly recommend visitors buy their tickets online, reserve a hotel room with one of our partners and, if interested, sign up for the competitions as well and as early as possible because of limited availability."

I mentioned about any suggestions that visitors should be made aware of in advance regarding the local situations or restrictions? She advised that visitors at JPiC must be vaccinated according to the regulations put in place by the governor of Nevada.

Finally I questioned what kind of updates should/can we expect between now and the event date? She replied with the following:

- list of vendors, sponsors and speakers

- complete details and rules for the competitions

- Award Ceremony Gala Categories and nominations

- Celebrities in attendance

- Metaverse announcements (virtual reality immersive puzzling)

- Development of  jigsaw puzzle mobile apps.

- launching PUZL Coin on the Exchange

- We currently launched the only Jigsaw Puzzle NFT Collection in the world.

So there's the update for January 2022 with lots happening between now and showtime in July, 2022, barely 6 months away!  Stay tuned for more updates as they become available. Special thanks to Karine for her time.
