You are shown a photograph that has been divided into 24 rectangular pieces. The pieces have been shuffled. Your task is to rearrange the pieces to display the original photograph. To help you with this, there's a tune — Diabelli's theme. The tune, too, is divided into 24 pieces! Each piece of the tune is attached to the corresponding piece of the photograph. Thus, when the pieces of the photograph are rearranged in their correct order, the tune will play correctly. When you tap a piece of the photograph, the corresponding piece of the tune is played. You can use the piece of the tune as a hint to tell you where that piece of the photograph needs to go!

Both are free to download. Diabelli's Theme sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pyramid asks for nothing beyond the download.
Diabelli's Theme holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyramid has 297 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Diabelli's Theme's written reviews are positive against 84% of Pyramid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Diabelli's Theme ships an update every 12 months, Pyramid every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
