How to unlock the Jam King achievement in Microsoft Jigsaw - Definitive Guide

OK
I have got a temporary solution for achievement not unlocking on last versions of app, while we are waiting till the devs fix this, for how it should work:
1. Download version 2.3.10281.0 here for example https://www.appx4fun.com/xap/54146/
2. Remove newer versions, turn off auto-update in store app just to be shure
3. Install downloaded 2.3.10281.0, launch it
4. Replay any puzzle pack (or complete all packs in collection 1 and 2 if you still not done it)
5. Done!

PS unlocked it now for myself by this actions, but have completed it for fist time, so need someone to confirm if this works for replaying (but I think it shoud works fine)

Worked for me too, but just make sure you have the 2nd pack downloaded (assuming you completed it already) as it wasn't downloaded for me in this version so achievement didn't pop until after doing that.

No joy for me. It opens a new tab for a split second which closes itself and a download never starts. I'm on Windows 11 if that makes any difference.

Fabulous! Finally completed it. To download the file successfully, I used Microsoft Edge latest version as it wouldn't download in Google Chrome.

I can confirm this method Works. I managed to get the Achievements using the Version you recommended to download. And I got the game done after finishing the Windows 8 Version done yesterday. Thanks again.

Excellent solution - one modification I needed for it to work is the second jam pack had to be downloaded. Without it downloaded (it doesn't automatically happen) the achievement won't even track. Once I downloaded that second pack and completed one level it popped.

The achievement is still bugged in the current version (2.6.8211), but deleting it and installing this old version worked. Had to download jam pack 2, then play 1-1 again.

As far as getting three stars on all of these in the first place, they're all fairly easy except 1-6. I had to play that one a couple dozen times. I finally got it when I had 4:21 left after the fourth puzzle and made no mistakes.

I have now checked the page and it still works fine.
Press " • Download Now: Click Here >"
Than press on a long link in bald text that appears a little down within it expiration time

Maybe you should try it in another browser or in incognito mode.

Okay Incognito mode in Chrome didn't work but switching to Edge worked,

In Chrome clicking the link would cause the page to flash but nothing would happen in terms of the DL. Now that it is working in Edge. Hopefully, I will get this sorted shortly.

Thought this didn't work at first, but I had to redo both the first puzzle from both of the first two Jigsaw Jam collections before it popped, unlike only having to do one puzzle for the other glitched achievement. Game completed!

Ok - I don't know if this is Windows 11 specific or something to do with my firewall. When I right clicked the link and selected downloaded I could see the download was being blocked as it "could not download securely".

I click the arrow next to the download and select "Keep", and could then install it. Achievement unlocked as well as Hungry For Puzzles. Thank you, legend, +1.

Hi fellow puzzlers,
"Jigsaw Jam" is a mode available from the main menu, between Classis and daily challenges.
For getting this achievement, you will need to get 3 stars on each level of the first and second pack from Jigsaw Jam. Content:
- First pack consits of 6 levels, each containing between 3-6 puzzles (28 puzzles total).
- In the second pack you will find 8 levels consisting of each 4-6 puzzles (42 puzzles total).

How do you earn stars?
1) Best way is to solve the puzzles without missplacing a piece. Getting a chain of 5 and 10 pieces without a mistake will grant you 500/2000 points. I highly suggest to focus on placing the piece correctly instead of looking for the time. Making succesful chains of 5/10 pieces is the best way to earn stars.
2) Second option to get points is having time left at the end of the last puzzle. I didn't count exactly how much it grants you, but as said before: rather focus on not making a mistake. I made a test run: having 10.430 points before putting down the last piece and 5:36 on the clock, i finished with 15.462. So 5:36 minutes gave me 5.032 points. Remember: succesfully chaining 10 pieces gives you 2000 points!
*) At the end it is the balance of placing quickly and correctly the puzzles. Therefore: knowledge of the puzzle is key!

Hints and tipps:
1) You gonna need a few trials of some specific levels, as knowing the actual picture of the puzzle you are solving is a key element for not making a mistake. Once you solved the puzzle, feel free to take a screenshot. You can pause the game, check the screenshot and have a look at the piece you gotta put down.
2) Watching the extra video at the beginning will grant you more time, therefore more points at the end! Totally worth it, especially on higher levels.
3) After each puzzle (in a level), you will be granted 1000 points. That number doesn't change if you go super quick /slow, with or without mistakes.

Hope this helps! Greetings and enjoy those puzzles.

I made no mistakes on 1-6 and still got 2 stars... have to be quicker...

Word to the wise: Calm down and connect the dots fast enough. You get 2000 points per combo of 5.
I let this game rest for months and months but I even made some little mistakes but I was two times able to get 3 stars instantly.
(Also: Do not assume one piece fits to the next. Sometimes it's that piece to the left making you nervous and making mistakes.

Finally got it, pack 1-6 is brutal. You've gotta' make no mistakes and then gotta' have enough time left for the bonus to get you over 3 stars. The video for another 30 seconds is a lifesaver.

1-6 is horrible... I have beat it several times with no mistakes and I am always below 3 stars, even with the extra 30 seconds, it is just too hard!

Same here, did the first 3 packs, even without mistakes, tracker is at 33 %. Seems to be bugged, same as "Hungry for puzzles" which does not unlock for me either.

Did you guys try out deleting the local save data? At least on the Xbox (not PC), the game will then pick up the saved data from the cloud and synchronise. Sometimes (at least on Xbox) this helps to push achievements through....
How about this fix?

@sorininf thanks for sharing that link! I followed the steps, but unfortunately it did not seem to work. I think you're right about the cloud-save feature being a bit of an issue with it, so I'll keep looking to see if there are any other solutions out there. I appreciate your help!!

@TigaSefi: Ok we should all submit that then. You can hit the button with the three dots, up next to the game name. There you can add to boost list, add to wish list, ... the last option is "Submit achievement flags" - this is where you wanna report that!
I will look into it and post if I find anything out.

Having the same issue. The in-game tracker goes up by one for every pack I get three stars on instead of going up by one for every star I get. How do we report this and the food collection bug to Microsoft does anyone know?

Interesting is the fact, that nobody unlocked this since 2d of march. The cheevo "Hungry for puzzle" has not been unlocked for 10 days as well. Do you guys manage to unlock achievements otherwise (other games, other achievements in the same game)?
@JedEdgan: see the post below to see how to report.

Yes, I've unlocked other achievements in this game since these two bugged out, and achievements in other games. You described how to flag the achievements as buggy on TA - TA aren't going to do anything to have the developers fix this. Does anyone know how to flag to Microsoft or the developers that these two achievements are glitched?

Thank you, kind sir.

I've logged this and Hungry For Puzzles as two separate bugs with Microsoft so with a bit of luck it will bring it to the developers attention and lead to a fix. If you folks could go to the bug report here, https://aka.ms/AAk0ct0 (the Hungry For Puzzles one is here, https://aka.ms/AAk0w2h), and give them an upvote or leave a comment to say you've got the same issue it will hopefully get a bit more traction. Cheers all!

Well this is obviously broken. Last unlock was on 18th march, before that was 2d march...
I found this website to get a contact to the microsoft-team:
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/achievements/...
Depending on your region, just google "troubleshoot achievement challenges". This website is the US-Version but you will find similar ones for your region. I got the german one, since located in Germany. There is a web-chat, a phone-number and possibility to contact them via message. Maybe this is worth a shot?

Yep, I'm stuck at 33% as well, guess a more recent update broke this.

The Ingame awards/achievement section says I only have 14 out of the 42 needed stars.

Your files as other players' have been submitted to the development team, there's not much that can be done aside of waiting for an update.
Thanks a lot for your time and patience, please stay tuned and you can always keep in touch through or community pages, too."

I think this one might be bugging on mine. I've completed this and it hasn't unlocked. I I've unlocked Jigsaw Jammer and Chain Reactor with no issues. Replaying a couple of packs didn't unlock it, nor did closing and re-opening the game. Also the tracker on the XBox app for this says I've only completed 33% of the achievement, which makes no sense. Those trackers have been accurate on this game for other achievements like Easy on the Eye. I tried downloading collection three, and three-starred the first couple of packs in that to see if it made a difference to the tracker percentage but it hasn't. So I am out of ideas beyond it being bugged. Anyone else getting this, or know of something I'm missing?

This has to be done on collections 1&2. Getting three stars might get a bit annoying, especially when there are more puzzles and your time bonus starts to dwindle. But, to help get around this, watch the ad it suggests to add 30 seconds to the clock. Doing that has helped and boosts your points a great amount when it ends.
