Nonogram Museum turns picture logic puzzles into a collection of forgotten technology. Read the number clues along each row and column, then fill the right squares to uncover the image. The early grids are quick to learn. Later puzzles get larger and ask you to think a few moves ahead. You can mark empty squares, zoom in, reset the board, or use a hint if you get stuck. Every solved puzzle restores an artifact and adds it to your museum. You might uncover a battery, a pager, an old camera, a game console, or something you have not seen in years. Each artifact comes with its own artwork and a short curator note. The game is free to play and has no ads. Everything you need for the puzzles is included in the app, so you can keep playing offline. There is no timer and no pressure to keep a streak alive. Choose a grid and follow the clues until the picture takes shape.

Nonograms with a map instead of a level list. Solve a black-and-white grid, and the picture doesn't just appear on your screen — it lands on a living map, right where it belongs. Clear tiles in a region and the fog around them lifts, opening new puzzles next door. Then come back for a color pass and watch the picture step off the page in full color. Every puzzle is solvable by pure logic — no guessing, ever. A solver checks each one before it ships. Four worlds from day one: Forest, Desert, Sea and Village, with 800+ pictures on the map — from quick small grids to big 32×32 boss pictures that crown each world. Your progress is saved automatically: solved and colored pictures stay on the map, and an unfinished puzzle waits for you. Features • 800+ nonograms across 4 worlds • A living map: solve tiles, lift the fog, uncover what's next door • A color pass for every black-and-white picture • No guessing — every puzzle is logically solvable • From quick small grids to big 32×32 boss pictures • Progress saved automatically • No ads, no account, plays offline A grid, a map, and a picture waiting to come out of the fog.
