Fivefold is a Sudoku-inspired game where the rules change every puzzle. Fill the grid through pure deduction, combining familiar number-placement logic with new rules. It's a game that will never stop giving you those satisfying "Aha!" moments. Enjoy the daily puzzle with your morning coffee, or play a quick, easy puzzle while you're waiting for an appointment. When you're ready, you can move to harder puzzles, like our large 7x7 puzzles that'll give your brain a real workout. We kept Fivefold simple. There are no ads interrupting you, no in-game currencies, and no tricks to keep you playing. The game comes with a ton of free puzzles, and if you want even more, you can buy a puzzle pack. That’s it! We made Fivefold because we love puzzles too. We hope it makes your brain work just a little bit harder, and we hope that you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it! - Matt & Owen
9 Tiles Puzzle

Turn any photo into a puzzle, then put it back together — your way. 9 Tiles Puzzle slices a picture into a grid and scrambles it. Fetch a fresh photo from the internet, snap one with your camera, dig into your own Photos library, or generate an abstract Numbers grid — then race, relax, or outsmart the fog to solve it. SEVEN WAYS TO PLAY • Slide — classic sliding-puzzle movement • Swap — trade any two tiles, lock each one in as it lands • Time Trial — beat the clock, or climb the 10-stage Gauntlet Ladder • Limited Moves — solve within a strict move budget • Zen — no timer, no streak pressure, just the puzzle • Haze — tiles hide behind drifting fog; shake to peek • Chaos — the source photo gets recolored, mirrored, or flipped before you even see it DAILY CHALLENGE One seeded puzzle every day, the same for everyone. A calendar tracks your streak and lets you replay any past day. TRACK EVERY RECORD • Stats — personal bests and games played, by grid size and mode • Achievements — dozens of unlockable badges across six categories • Wall of Fame — a cork board of your best moves, times, and streaks, each card with its own swing physics • Game Center — leaderboards and your player profile ALWAYS WITH YOU A Live Activity tracks your in-progress puzzle on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Three home-screen widgets — Daily Challenge, Streaks & Records, and Resume Game — get you back into the game in one tap. FREE TO PLAY Slide mode and the Daily Challenge are free, forever — no account, no ads, no tracking. Unlock all seven modes, your own photos as puzzles, and full Stats, Achievements, and Wall of Fame with 9 Tiles Premium: • $6.99 one-time purchase — Lifetime access • $1.99/month — Premium Pass Monthly, an auto-renewing subscription that renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
