He's taken 200 images, and chopped them up into little squares. Rather than sliding them around to make a complete picture, you just click on each tile until it rotates into the right position. Sound easy? For the most part it is. But like any puzzle, you've got to be careful when working on the background, where the difference between one tile and the next isn't that great.
The game's a nice little distraction, as are others you can find on the Games for the Brain page. But it's also a nice application of the power of Creative Commons licenses. Rather than snapping 200 photos worth looking at on his own, Lenssen was able to create his game using freely available photos uploaded by Flickr users from around the globe.
