Bend the edges of a hexagon and something wonderful happens: bumps nestle into scoops, and fourteen round little tiles emerge that fit together like soap bubbles. Bubble Tiles turns this piece of geometry into a calm, tactile puzzle game. SOLVE PUZZLES Fill each board so that every curved edge meets its counterpart — a bump may never press against another bump. The boards grow from friendly four-tile starters to deep challenges, plus a guided tutorial that teaches everything by doing. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Each calendar day generates its own board. Keep a streak, or catch up on days you missed. COLLECT SOLUTIONS Many boards can be solved in more than one way. Every distinct solution you find earns a star and lands in the level's gallery; some boards offer alternative tile sets, and every solved puzzle can flip to its dual — every bump becomes a scoop and every scoop a bump. CREATE FREELY Arrange tiles on open canvases, letters and digits, or build on an endless board in Infinite mode. Save your own arrangements as custom puzzles — the app counts their solutions for you. MADE TO BE TOUCHED Drag, tap to turn, pinch to zoom, rotate the whole board with two fingers. Textures from woodcut print to glitter, color palettes, day and night — endless design possibilities. A LITTLE MATH The idea is two centuries old: it appears in Katsushika Hokusai's 1824 pattern book, and the About page tells the whole story — why there are exactly fourteen (or thirteen, depending on the count) tiles, what mirror twins and dual boards are, and how the app counts solutions. Bubble Tiles grew out of the wooden puzzle by the MathHappens Foundation, who build hands-on mathematics for museums. No ads. No tracking. No account. Everything on your device.
