About
Tessera is a daily puzzle where the pieces are alive. Each puzzle is a small looping animation, cut into square tiles that keep moving while you reassemble them.
One puzzle for each day of the week. Seven scenes, three difficulties each (2×2, 3×3, 4×4). Some are gentle. Some take real attention.
A color overlay highlights the piece you pick up. Connected pieces stay grouped, so a bonded chain travels as one. Tap the eye icon to peek at the assembled picture, three times per puzzle.
Two optional helpers, set before each game: a grid that shows where pieces meet, and outlines around the piece in your hand. Use either, both, or neither.
If the timer feels like too much, switch on no-stress mode in Settings. The clock disappears, peeks become unlimited, and placement is more forgiving.
No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Offline. English and French. iPhone and iPad.
