The objective is to move the tiles into the right place and/or turn them so that a picture is getting formed. Your problem is, that you won't know what the picture is until you solved the puzzle. You can move tiles any number of positions to the right, left, up and down - all the tiles on the way will shift in the place left open by the tile moved. You can also double tap a tile to rotate it 90 degree. The 3x3 puzzles are easy, but the 5x5 puzzles will be very difficult. ## Key features - Tile-based picture unscrambling - Horizontal and vertical tile movement - Tile rotation via double-tap - Progressive difficulty levels (3x3 to 5x5) - Hidden image reveal upon completion ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Puzzle Package 1 (3x3) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 2 (3x3) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 3 (4x4) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 4 (4x4) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 5 (5x5) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 6 (5x5) | $0.99 | one-time | | Puzzle Package 7 (5x5) | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/picture-scrambler/id427028003/reviews.md ### 4/5 — To the developer *2012-08-01* Would like to be able to select photos from my apple photos app thing. Then you'd get five stars. ### 1/5 — Picture scramblers *2012-03-15* Just finished first puzzle...I think. How do I know for certain it is correct? Clock is still going and nothing says complete, correct, or whatever. Very pretty picture and fun to solve, providing I did solve it. Went back to puzzle and figured it out. Had two pieces wrong. It did tell me I got it right. Believe will get the 5 puzzle package for $0.99 and rate higher. ### 5/5 — great game! *2011-07-09* great and challenging game ... using it on the ipad and the high definition of the pictures makes the game a delight ... i also like the way i can move the tiles around ... one problem the developers need to look at is clicking on RULES when at menu shuts down the program ... apart from that highly recommended ### 5/5 — Love it *2011-03-28* Very good game - good graphics, great idea ### 4/5 — Pretty good.... *2011-03-28* It was fun but it downloads kinda slow. ## Frequently asked questions about Picture Scrambler ### How do you play Picture Scrambler?
