Pixie Grid is a cozy picture-reveal logic puzzle. Solve the nonogram, and your finished grid blooms into a warm, hand-illustrated picture โ€” a small gift you made yourself. No lives. No energy gates. Just you, the clues, and a calm place to think. Free to play, with ads โ€” remove them anytime. HOW NONOGRAMS WORK โ€ข The numbers beside each row and column are run-lengths โ€” how many cells to fill in a row, in order โ€ข A clue of "3 1" means a run of 3 filled cells, a gap, then 1 filled cell โ€ข Use logic to work out which cells must be filled and which stay empty โ€ข Fill the grid correctly and the hidden picture is revealed โ€ข Tap to fill, hold to mark, drag to paint a line โ€” undo as much as you like A COZY CAMPAIGN โ€ข Work through a relaxing campaign across 5 difficulty tiers โ€ข From a gentle 5ร—5 all the way up to a 15ร—15 Expert chew โ€ข Every puzzle has one solution and is solvable by pure logic โ€” no guessing, fair by design โ€ข Earn up to 3 mastery stars per level for a flawless solve (no mistakes, no hints) โ€” it rewards clean solving, never speed A NEW PICTURE EVERY DAY โ€ข One cozy daily puzzle, the same picture for everyone โ€ข Share a spoiler-free result with friends โ€” it never gives the picture away โ€ข Keep a gentle, backfillable streak; miss a day and simply solve it later, no punishment โ€ข A 30-day login reward calendar โ€” play any day to claim it QUESTS & REWARDS โ€ข Optional daily and weekly quests with little bonus objectives โ€” ignore them completely if you like โ€ข Earn Credits as you play, from stars, quests, and your login streak โ€ข Collect procedural background skins to make the game your own NO-FAIL, NO-RUSH โ€ข No mistake counter, no game over โ€” undo freely โ€ข Choose a relaxing no-error-check mode or a gentle assist โ€ข No forced timer on the board; an optional time-challenge mode is there if you want it, and it is off by default PLAYS YOUR WAY โ€ข Dark mode for candle-lit evening solving โ€ข Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, colorblind-safe, and reduce-motion friendly FAIR & HONEST โ€ข Free to play, supported by ads โ€” remove ads anytime with a one-time purchase โ€ข Optional Credits buy only comfort (extra hints, a reveal-line helper) and cosmetic skins โ€” never an unfair advantage โ€ข Every single level is 100% solvable for free โ€” no pay-to-win โ€ข No loot boxes, no randomized purchases, no energy gate, no lives, no subscription โ€ข Credits are stored on your device; unspent Credits stay with this install โ€ข Restore Purchases is always available Pixie Grid is the calm daily ritual the nonogram has been missing โ€” warm, fair, and yours. Sit down, pour a cup of tea, and reveal today's picture.
