ShapeIQ is a calm, satisfying shape-tiling puzzle: completely fill the outline of each board using every piece exactly once — no gaps, no overlaps, no timer to rush you HOW TO PLAY Each level begins with a tray full of irregularly shaped pieces and an empty board. Drag a piece into place, rotate it by 90°, or mirror it until the entire outline disappears under a perfect mosaic of colors. Once placed, a piece stays there — Undo is always free if you want to rethink your last move. 100 LEVELS, 5 CHAPTERS Start with small, forgiving boards and progress to sprawling 10×10 grids with a dozen pieces to place. The difficulty gradually ramps up across five chapters — Beginner, Junior, Expert, Master, and Wizard — so there is always a fair next challenge. HINTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM Stuck? A hint instantly shows where the selected piece goes. You start with 3 hints, shared across all levels — they never reset. When they run out, earn more by unlocking achievements, playing the daily challenge, or watching a short rewarded video. No video available? You get the hint anyway, for free. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily challenge offers a fresh, short board every day, identical for all players. Solve it to keep your streak alive and earn a bonus hint. BADGES TO HUNT Eight achievements reward accuracy, speed, and consistency — from a hint-free streak to completing an entire chapter with 3 stars — and each adds hints to your inventory. PLAY YOUR WAY 13 languages, so the whole family can play in their own Progress seamlessly syncs via iCloud — no account, no sign-up required Music, sound, and haptic feedback can be adjusted or turned off completely Truly free: no in-app purchases, no ads to "remove", no subscriptions.
