About

Shuffle

Features
Read full description

Shuffle is a sliding tile puzzle game built around beautiful images. Rearrange the scrambled pieces to restore the picture โ€” and take your time doing it. BEAUTIFUL COLLECTIONS Each collection brings a distinct visual world: antique ceramics and glassware, ancient artifacts and archaeological finds, paintings from art history, astronomical photography, stone sculptures, and more. New collections are added over time. THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS Choose Easy (3ร—3), Medium (4ร—4), or Hard (5ร—5). Every level offers a different image and a different challenge โ€” all at your own pace. IMMERSIVE AND DISTRACTION-FREE The interface steps back so the image takes over. No timers counting you down, no popups, no banners. Just the puzzle, the picture, and the satisfaction of snapping the last tile into place. FULL SCREEN ON EVERY DEVICE Shuffle is designed for both iPhone and iPad. The board fills the screen in portrait and landscape โ€” every orientation, every size. Whether you play on an iPhone SE or a 13" iPad Pro, the puzzle fits perfectly. FAVORITES AND REPLAYABILITY Found a level you love? Add it to Favorites and come back to it anytime. Every level can be replayed as many times as you like. Your best move count and time are saved so you can try to beat yourself. YOUR PRIVACY IS RESPECTED Shuffle never collects personal information. No account required, no name, no email, no location โ€” nothing that identifies you. Anonymous usage data may be collected to understand how the game is played and improve future versions, but it is never linked to you as an individual. NO ADS. EVER. There are no advertisements in Shuffle โ€” not now, not in future updates. The game is complete as-is. OFFLINE PLAY Shuffle works entirely offline. No network connection needed, no server dependency.
