Trivia: Spoilers. There's a major clue in the film that hints at the ending twist that the barn game takes place in the distant past. In every other "Saw" sequel, the characters in tests repeatedly acknowledge and discuss the fact that Jigsaw is a known criminal, and discuss how to beat their games. (Or alternately are people who directly knew him.) In "Jigsaw", none of the characters in the barn acknowledge that they are in a Jigsaw game (since he wouldn't be known yet to the police or press), and the only references to Jigsaw take place during the scenes set in the present.
