A cozy jigsaw puzzle game that's always ready when you are. Optimized for DUO. Puzzle-Buddy is a jigsaw puzzle app for people who find puzzles calming. No ads interrupting you. No account to create. No timer pushing you along. Just a warm felt mat, a tray of pieces, and as long as you'd like to take. Made for people who enjoy puzzles, not interruptions. REAL JIGSAW PIECES Every piece is cut with interlocking tabs and blanks that fit their neighbors exactly, the way a cardboard puzzle does. Pieces snap together with a soft click when they belong together. 516 PHOTOS TO CHOOSE FROM A hand-picked library across fourteen collections: Animals, Antiques, Buildings, Flowers, Food, Germany, Inspiring Locations, Jewelry, Rooms, Royal Britain, Scenery, Seasons, Upstate New York, and Vehicles. Everything is included, so you can puzzle anywhere, even without an internet connection. FIND THE ONE YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR Search the whole library by what's in the picture. Try castles, lighthouses, or autumn. YOUR OWN PHOTOS Turn a favorite photo into a jigsaw puzzle. PuzzleBuddy creates the puzzle right on your device, and your original photo stays in your photo library. SEVEN SIZES 36, 64, 100, 144, 225, 400, or 576 pieces. A relaxing afternoon at 36, or a 576-piece project you come back to all week. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF PuzzleBuddy saves your progress when you leave, down to where each piece was sitting. Keep up to five puzzles going at once and find them all in the Saved tab. A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Your first puzzle comes with a few gentle tips. Turn on the Image Guide for a preview on the board. Sort the tray to edges or inside pieces while you build the frame. Lost track of a piece on the table? Find Loose Pieces shows you where they all are. And if a piece has you stuck, tap Assist and Puzzle Buddy will place one for you. YOUR PUZZLE JOURNEY Every finished puzzle joins a little gallery of its own, alongside your best times and how far you've come in each collection. MADE COMFORTABLE Choose your favorite mat color, warm photo colors to your liking, and turn sounds and haptics on or off.
