  • I really honestly want to love this

    This game is gorgeous. The music is beautiful, the art is beautiful and the quotes are cool, but i find having no color in the puzzle pieces at the beginning extremely difficult and stressful as I’m trying to put the puzzle together. I’m actually having to do way more trial and error and letting the computer correct me, when I have no clue because all the pieces look the same. Idk maybe this is just because of the way my brain or eyes work but I don’t think this will work for me.

  • Frustrating, Really bad UX

    Game looked promising; but unfortunately the user experience is one of the worst I have ever seen in a puzzle game. Very hard (for not sayin impossible) to -guess- the pieces on the board, due to poor contrast on its UI, several pieces are like invisible. Also, we spent hours trying to play multiplayer mode, but it doesn’t work at all. Worst thing, is that the game said that me and my wife played this game In June 2022, and that we completed 1 puzzle. How this may be possible if we just install the game this month?! (Jan 20,2023).

  • Lovely game, but suggestion!

    this is a very peaceful and lovely game, but an option to turn off music and keep sounds on would be fantastic! i like to listen to other things while playing but still want to enjoy the clicking of the pieces :)
  • Celebrating the artists and stories

    This game is perfect! It is challenging without being too frustrating. They provide you with alternative ways to complete a puzzle, so it makes it more fun. I love how it celebrates the stories behind the art, as well the artists.

    Thank you for the Wind in the Willows art! It was one of my very favorite books growing up and I was so surprised to see a set of puzzles for it. It has brought me so much joy completing the puzzles for that.

  • The Best!

    I have been loving this puzzle game since it came out. It's funny, because I've never been huge on putting puzzles together, but this has really gotten me interested in finding some to put together physically. And it's amazing for many reasons, each puzzle starting off black and white, and as the pieces are put together, the colors begin to slowly come into the piece, the words on the art become darker and clearer, it not only provides a wonderful atmosphere, you feel a sense of satisfaction, as well.

    The art is lovely and colorful, the music is beautiful and relaxing, and since there is no timer nor any sort of rushing, this game is so relaxing. I have integrated putting at least one puzzle together into my daily routine as I wind down. But most of the time I will wind up putting 3-5 together while getting ready for bed. It is relaxing and addictive.

    If you have apple arcade, this is absolutely a no-brainer and a must-have in everybody's library. I have it on my phone and my computer, but I'd much rather play it on my computer, it's a little easier to see.

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

    1. First off, this amazing! It really makes your mind calm if you’re stressed and concerned. It also challenges your brain with these storied puzzles.

    2. I love the words in the puzzles, they really do tell the story what is happening. I can’t get enough of it!

    3. Lastly, great graphics. Super detailed! Love every design.

  • Innovative!

    Entertaining and challenging. Just started on the Van Gogh gallery. Beautifully rendered images that come to life as they’re completed. If you have ever worked on a puzzle you will enjoy this very innovative approach to puzzle solving. And with the ability to change from picture to story to help reach the solution, you might just learn a bit about art!

  • Spend 45 minutes getting nowhere

    Who has time for this? After the first puzzle which was about my level of difficulty, #2 has no colors and weak contrast that makes it too hard to progress. A real puzzle would have a colored box so you could see what you are putting together, here it is mostly white, it reminds me of tedious edting where you cut and paste here you just move pieces over and over and over, it’s like torture.

  • Could Be Enjoyable

    The art works are beautiful. Enjoy the background music. I like the option to switch the mode between pictures and words. It would be more enjoyable and relaxing if it was not so glitchy. The puzzle pieces are difficult to select. I am using an iPad and when attempting to select a piece, i have to attempt 3-4 times before the piece will actually move. Then most of the times the actual puzzle moves around and resizes itself while attempting to place the piece on the puzzle. i will have to stop on puzzle 4 because it is sooo frustrating and not really enjoyable. Would appreciate it to know when these glitches get fixed when or if they do. Otherwise, would not recommend especially for a child ( you might end up with an ipad or iPhone fly pass you as it gets tossed.)
