Eight offline puzzle games in one app, and no ads in any of them. Puzzle Vault is a collection of brain games for adults who want to think, not to be sold to. Block puzzles and water sort puzzles. Pipe connect and path-drawing flow puzzles. Pentomino block fit, color mixing, untangle, and the classic Lights Out logic puzzle. Hundreds of hand-tuned levels across all eight, every one of them playable offline, one-handed, in portrait. These are relaxing puzzle games, not reflex games. That is the whole idea. Puzzle games have to interrupt you to make money. This one doesn't, because you already paid for it. 940+ LEVELS, EIGHT GAMES - Jewelbox โ€” a block puzzle where you place three shapes at a time and clear lines to free the jewels. Crates, geodes, locked plates and buried gems across 80+ levels. - PowerPath โ€” connect and cover. Draw colored paths from every source to its core until the whole board is filled. From a single line to boards where four colors have to share the same grid. 220+ levels. - Lights Out โ€” the classic logic puzzle. Tap a light, its neighbors flip too. Clear the grid in as few taps as you can. 150 levels. - Pipe Spin โ€” rotate the pipes, seal every leak, get the water home. 60 levels of plumbing puzzles that punish a route you didn't check. - Pigment โ€” mix real paint. Combine tubes in wells to match the color each gate asks for, and a public-domain masterpiece is revealed behind it. A small art gallery you unlock by solving it. 36 levels. - Pour Sort โ€” sort the colored liquids back into matching tubes. Simple to learn, deceptively tricky to untangle. 160 levels. - TileFit โ€” fit all twelve pentomino pieces onto the board. Pure spatial reasoning, no time pressure. 70 levels. - Untangle โ€” drag the nodes until no lines cross. Starts simple, gets tangled fast. 160 levels. NO INTERRUPTIONS. THAT IS THE FEATURE. No advertisements of any kind โ€” no banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video. No coins, no gems, no loot boxes, no extra payments of any kind. No lives, no hearts, no energy meter, no waiting to play again. No countdown timers โ€” every puzzle waits as long as you do. No account, no login, no social feed, no daily streak nagging you. No internet needed: a fully offline puzzle game, good on a plane or a train. BUILT FOR CALM Difficulty rises on a curve you can feel, hints and undo are always there, and progress saves itself after every move. Play one puzzle on a coffee break or an hour on the sofa โ€” it picks up exactly where you stopped. Dark, soft artwork. One-handed portrait play. Works on phones and tablets. WHO IT'S FOR If you like brain games, logic puzzles, block puzzles, color sorting puzzles, untangle puzzles, pipe and flow connect puzzles, color mixing games, pentomino puzzles, brain teasers and relaxing offline puzzle games โ€” and you are tired of being sold to between levels.
