One photo, four answers, points for guessing fast: every day, Quadrant shows you a new picture – hidden, blurred, or cut into pieces. The sooner you recognize what it shows, the more points you keep. THREE GAME MODES • Mosaic: Reveal the picture tile by tile – every tile costs points. • Silhouette: The subject slowly emerges from the fog. • Fragment: Swap the shuffled pieces back into the right order. 600+ HAND-CHECKED PUZZLES Animals, architecture, artworks, food, sports, vehicles, space, and many more categories – every single image was individually selected and reviewed. All pictures ship inside the app and come from public-domain or freely licensed sources; full attributions are available right in the app. SMART HINTS INSTEAD OF LETTER COUNTING Stuck? Three hand-written hints guide you toward the subject step by step – from a subtle nudge to a clear pointer. Only the final stage reveals the first letter. Every hint costs points, so choose wisely. KEEP YOUR STREAK ALIVE • Daily puzzle – one new image for everyone, every day • Streaks, weekly goals, and badges • Archive: catch up on days you missed • Zen, timed, and weekly modes for extra rounds • A fun fact for every solved subject MADE THE HONEST WAY • No ads, no purchases, no account, no tracking • Works completely offline • Fully localized in English, German, French, and Spanish Note: The in-game hint texts are currently German-first; an English hint update is in the works. Puzzle for a minute a day or sink into Zen mode for hours – Quadrant adapts to your rhythm. Happy guessing!
