## What is Constellation Restore?

Decode a signal. Restore its constellation. Discover its story. Then find it in the real night sky.

Constellation Restore combines tactile spatial puzzles with mythology, astronomy, and an on-device sky finder. Each puzzle begins as an unidentified celestial signal. Study its pattern, move and rotate its glowing fragments, and watch the constellation reconnect line by line.

Complete the signal to reveal its identity and expand your personal Atlas with mythology, featured stars, and observing guidance. When you are ready to look up, Find in Sky uses your iPhone camera and location to guide you toward the constellation from where you are standing.

DECODE MYSTERIOUS SIGNALS

• Study each luminous signal before it scatters
• Drag individual stars and rigid connected fragments
• Tap fragments to rotate them in precise 60-degree steps
• Watch lines and stars brighten as valid connections form
• Hold Peek for a memory refresh or spend a Hint for one clear direction
• Reveal the real constellation only after completing the puzzle

FOLLOW A CELESTIAL JOURNEY

• Explore 60 puzzles organized into 12 named expeditions
• Complete five-puzzle chains to earn collectible Sky Seals
• Preserve Stability by solving later puzzles within an optional move target
• Earn up to three stars through efficient, unassisted solves

Version 3.0 — What's New
Find in Sky — Point your camera at the night sky and see exactly where each constellation is, right now, from your location. A real-time AR overlay draws the constellation's star lines over your camera feed and guides you toward it with a direction arrow when it's out of frame.

Constellation Atlas — Discover a growing collection of constellation lore as you solve puzzles. Each solved constellation unlocks its full mythology, featured star facts, and sky guide all in one beautifully laid-out detail view.

Tonight's Sky — See which constellation is featured tonight with context on why it's worth finding, your observing streak, and a direct link to find it in the real sky.

Star Ratings — Earn up to 3 stars on every puzzle based on how few hints you use. Your best score per constellation is saved.

Peek Mode — Hold the peek button to briefly reveal the solution while you're solving, so you can study the shape without giving up.

Discovery Cards — After solving a puzzle, a full-screen card celebrates your find with the constellation's mythology, star facts, and sky guide before adding it to your Atlas.

Requires iOS 17 or later. Find in Sky requires camera and location access and works best on a physical device.
