Twelve pieces. Fifty-five cells. Two puzzles, one shape language. Pyramind is a quiet polyomino puzzle. You're given the same twelve pieces — five tetrominoes and seven pentominoes — and asked to fit them, exactly, into a five-row flat grid or into a five-layer pyramid. The same pieces, two completely different problems. The pyramid is the harder one. The grid is the welcoming one. Both reward patience. Pick up a piece, drag it over the board and see where it will land before you let go. Green means it fits, red means it doesn't. Prefer tapping? That works too. Every day brings a new Daily Challenge: one puzzle, the same for everyone playing that day. Keep your streak going and watch your progress on the Home screen. Beyond the daily, there are 24 challenges across four difficulties, from Easy to Master. Every challenge starts with a few pieces already placed, so you're never staring at an empty board. Your best times stay with you. Classic grid hands you a random puzzle on the 11 × 5 grid. Sandbox lets you place pieces freely. Free to play: the Daily Challenge, Classic grid, Sandbox, the Easy and Medium challenges and three free hints. Pyramind Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription, and unlocks the 3D Pyramid mode, unlimited hints and the Hard and Master challenges. Features • 12 polyomino pieces, identical across both boards • Drag and drop with a live preview of where the piece lands • Flat 11 × 5 grid for the welcoming version • 3D pyramid with five stacked layers for the harder version (Pro) • Daily Challenge with streak tracking • 24 hand-curated challenges (Easy, Medium, Hard, Master) • Classic grid with endless random puzzles • Stats, achievements and personal best times, kept on your device • Dark, minimal interface designed for evenings • Available in English and Dutch • No accounts and no ads For people who want a puzzle to think with, not a puzzle to grind.
