Somewhere between an art gallery and an excavation site lies Tessera Tiles. Fifty original frescoes — airships and knights, compass roses and coiled serpents, moonlit lakes and hollow towns — have been broken into tiles and scrambled. Your job: put them back together, one satisfying move at a time. Every puzzle starts as a mystery. Artwork stays locked and hidden until you restore it, so each solve is also a reveal — finish a puzzle to unlock the piece, learn its name, and add it to your gallery. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Rotate — tiles are in place but spun around. Tap to set them upright. • Swap — tiles are upright but shuffled. Drag them into place. • Combined — shuffled AND spun. The full challenge. YOUR PACE, YOUR CHALLENGE • Three grid sizes, from a quick 3×3 to a demanding 5×5 • Every mode and size tracks its own records — best time and fewest moves, separately • Stuck? Hold to peek at the finished artwork MADE TO BE CALM • No ads, no accounts, no internet — fully offline • No timers pressuring you; the clock only watches, never rushes • Nothing to buy, nothing collected about you Fifty works are waiting under the dust. Start brushing and puzzling!
