ClassMates.com Tempts Clickage with Puzzles

We had high ad hopes for Classmates.com. When they started unrolling the “She married him?!” ads we thought, how cute, they’re going to play on cliches. High school is rich with them.

But an otherwise promising direction’s lost its luster as Classmates.com failed to give us much more than the same pair of ads and the same cliche, both featuring the bespectacled chick we’ve come to consider their poster child.

Apparently this darling has stopped bringing in the dosh because Classmates.com is going interactive. Here we find their first effort. In line with the nostalgic yearbook photo theme they bring us … an image jigsaw.

Unless you’re Picasso there are only two moves worth making. If even then you’re not clever enough to put the pieces together, just follow the green arrows on each square. Try not to blink; you might miss one.
