Tessera

Tessera — sliding photo puzzles, fully offline Tessera is a calm, private photo puzzle game. Take a photo, watch it scramble into tiles, then slide the pieces back into place until the picture returns. When you solve it, the full image animates in whole — the quiet payoff for every puzzle. No ads. No accounts. No internet. Just you and the picture. 🧩 A simple, satisfying loop Every tile is a piece of the photo — there's no empty gap. Swipe a tile up, down, left, or right to swap it with its neighbour, and rebuild the image piece by piece. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. 📷 Make a puzzle out of anything Point your camera and snap a shot, and Tessera turns it into a puzzle on the spot. Prefer a photo you already have? Import any image from your gallery instead. Your pet, your trip, your favourite view — all become puzzles. 🎚️ Choose your challenge • Easy — 3×3, 9 tiles • Medium — 4×4, 16 tiles • Hard — 5×5, 25 tiles Start gentle, then work your way up to a proper brain-teaser. 💡 Hints when you need them Stuck?
