Discover a refined take on classic 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 enough tiles in a region and the fog around them lifts, opening new puzzles next door. Come back for a color pass on any solved tile and watch it step off the page onto the map in full color. Every puzzle is solvable by pure logic — no guessing, ever. The solver behind this game checks each one before it ships. Four worlds, ready from day one: Forest, Desert, Sea, Village. 1,300+ hand-checked puzzles, sized from quick 5x5 grids to hour-long 20x20 challenges, with color passes for anyone who wants the extra layer. The app stays under 30MB and light on your phone — no heavy downloads, no overheating, no loading screens between tiles. Features • 1,300+ nonograms across 4 worlds, more added over time • A living map: solve tiles, lift the fog, uncover what's next door • Optional color mode for every black-and-white puzzle • Zero-guessing guarantee — every puzzle is logically solvable • Grid sizes from 5x5 to 20x20+, pick your own difficulty • Light ads: never more than one every 3 tiles, and none at all for your first 5 • One-time purchase removes ads completely — no subscription, ever • Works fully offline A grid, a map, and a picture waiting to come out of the fog.

Hints that explain Hints are free and unlimited. They never play the puzzle for you: they point to a row or column and explain why the next move follows, so you still fill the squares yourself.
