About

Prism Mosaic

Read full description

Turn scattered jewels into luminous mosaic art in a relaxing color-sorting puzzle. Tap a connected group of matching gems, move it through the spare holes, and place every color in its patterned home. Groups can connect from the sides or diagonally, so each move becomes a satisfying little logic problem. As the board falls into order, the hidden picture comes to life. WHY YOU'LL ENJOY PRISM MOSAIC - 500+ picture puzzles across themed galleries - Connected-group sorting, including diagonal neighbors - Clear color-and-pattern targets that make every move readable - Smooth sequential gem movement on high-refresh displays - Pinch to zoom and drag across detailed mosaics - Hard, detailed daily pictures with changing challenge rules - Weekly collections with a cosmetic reward after five completed days - A personal studio for displaying finished artwork - Decorative frames and walls earned through play - Undo, hints, and optional wand, brush, and magnet tools - Automatic local progress and mid-level resume - Optional World and Country rankings to compare progress - Optional rewarded ads for extra spare holes There is no account requirement. Play at your own pace, untangle each jewel pattern, and enjoy the moment the completed artwork appears. OPTIONAL ONLINE RANKINGS Join World or Country rankings only when you want to compare progress. Choose a display name, an in-game avatar, and optionally a country. Refresh results on demand, and manage, export, or permanently delete the ranking account inside the app. Participation is optional and separate from your local save. The game contains ads. Rewarded videos are optional and require an internet connection. Studio decorations are cosmetic and do not give puzzle-solving advantages. Progress is stored on your device. Play in 11 languages: English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Indonesian. Progress is saved on this device first. If Google or Apple sign-in appears in Cloud backup, use Google or Apple without a new game password; email/password remains an alternative. Explicitly choose your first backup or which existing progress to restore. Eligible completed levels are backed up in the background; offline progress waits for a connection. On another phone, sign in to that recovery account and explicitly choose which progress to keep. Signing in alone does not restore a save. The backup does not include an unfinished puzzle. Check the backup status before changing phones; do not uninstall or clear data to fix a problem. Without a completed backup, a deleted local save may not be recoverable. Deleting a cloud backup, a ranking profile, and the entire recovery account are separate actions; none clears this device's local progress.
