Not a picture. An object. Most nonograms hide a flat image. This one hides a thing you can pick up. Clues run along all three axes — across, back, and up. No puzzle here can be solved from a single face; you'll read a row, turn to a different direction, and find the answer waiting on an axis you hadn't checked. That's the whole game. Solve it. Build it. Paint it. Every puzzle you finish chips away at a block of stone. When the last piece falls, what's inside is a model — and you put it together yourself, piece by piece, then paint it face by face. Three phases, one object, and it's yours when it's done. Pick your session, not your difficulty. Four sizes, from a 5³ you'll finish on a bus to a 20³ that's an evening's work. Bigger isn't harder — it's longer. Every size advances you at the same rate, so play the one that fits the time you have. A new object every day. The daily mini is one object, start to finish, free: solve it, build it, paint it. Everyone gets the same one, and tomorrow it's gone. A room to keep them in. Finished models go to the trophy room, along with a record of every nonogram you've solved at each size — the one place the game keeps score. Free to play. 20 themed packs of five models each — animals, landmarks, spacecraft, food — with the first pack included.
