About

MatchVision

Read full description

One thousand matchstick puzzles. One perfect solution each. Can you see it? Match Vision is the classic matchstick brain teaser, rebuilt from scratch for Apple platforms. Move a single stick and a wrong equation becomes right. Take one away and four squares become three. Every puzzle looks impossible for about ten seconds — and then it doesn't. WHAT YOU'LL SOLVE • 1,000 hand-crafted puzzles — none randomly generated • Equations — move, add, or remove sticks to repair broken arithmetic • Squares — reshape a grid to leave an exact number of squares • Triangles — the same idea, at sharper angles • Difficulty that climbs from a single obvious move to genuine multi-step reasoning TEN WORLDS, ONE THOUSAND LEVELS Iron · Bronze · Silver · Gold · Platinum · Emerald · Diamond · Master · Grandmaster · Legend One hundred levels in each. All 100 Iron levels are free, and level 1 of every other world is free to try. BUILT FOR THINKERS, NOT FOR TIMERS • No countdown. No lives. No energy meter. Think as long as you like. • Three stars for solving in the fewest possible moves • Unlimited hints — tap the lightbulb, no penalty, no ad to sit through • Undo any move instantly • Truly stuck? Reveal the full solution, then practice it step by step with guided glows PLAYS EVERYWHERE YOU DO One universal app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro — native on each, spatial on Vision Pro. Progress syncs through iCloud. Ask Siri to open a level, resume where you left off, or throw you a random one. QUIETLY RESPECTFUL • No ads. Not one. • No account, no sign-up, no email • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection of any kind • Plays fully offline Sharpen your logic in five minutes a day, or lose an entire evening to the Legend world. Either way: move one stick, and change everything. Worlds 2–10 and solution reveals are optional in-app purchases.
