Puzzle
The HireVue Puzzle game (also known as Puzzlepicture) is a picture-reconstruction puzzle. You get a few seconds to memorize a complete image before it is broken into pieces and scrambled — then you swap pieces to rebuild it, against the clock.
How to Play
You will see a complete puzzle image for 5 seconds.
Memorize the image, then recreate it by rearranging scattered pieces.
Click pieces to select them, then click another to swap positions.
Keep solving and the grid grows from 3×3 to 4×4.
Complete as many puzzles as possible within the 7-minute time limit.
