Puzzle Day is a growing collection of bite-sized puzzles—fun, weird, and refreshingly different. Every week, a new one is added. Every day, a fresh challenge awaits. Hi, I’m Kurt. I’m a game designer and a dad. A few months ago, I lost my job. Instead of panicking (okay, I panicked a little), I decided to make you the best puzzle game on the planet! Puzzle Day is my way of turning that gamble into something real—one puzzle at a time. It’s a home for all the quirky little puzzle ideas I’ve had over the years but never got to share. Some are clever. Some are silly. Some are surprisingly tricky. All of them are built with care. Here’s what you’ll find inside: • Numby – The first of many! A clever little number-matching game with daily and random modes • Pathwords – Each words last letter is the next words first letter ... it's ... forget it, just try it • Burbs – Stranger Things meets Sudoku in this simple game of logic and deduction • Hoots – The smallest possible match 3 game you've ever played. It's fast, it's cute, and it's a hoot • New puzzle (almost) every week – I’m building and releasing new games right inside the app • Daily mode – Play once a day, share your score, and try to beat your friends • No accounts or logins – Just open and play • Quick and satisfying – Most puzzles take just a few minutes, but you’ll want to replay • Fun for your brain, not your wallet – You can support the app by watching ads (thank you!) and enjoy it for free Why I'm Doing This This app isn’t backed by a big company. It’s just me, in my home, designing, coding, testing, and sharing games. I’m also sharing the journey of trying to make $100K in 100 days by building indie games and posting about it on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube (@kurtiswow). Every ad you watch, puzzle you share, or kind comment you leave helps me get a little closer to that goal—and helps me support my family doing what I love. Coming Soon: More puzzle types (word, logic, grid-based, memory, timing) Achievements, streaks, and unlockables Special limited-time puzzles and events Your feedback! I’m reading everything and building features based on what players ask for Thanks for checking out Puzzle Day. I hope these little puzzles brighten your day the way building them brightens mine. — Kurt Follow the journey: @kurtiswow on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

► COLORFUL CALM Life sure can be stressful, so why not treat yourself to a coloring book game with 3D objects, fun room and home design, and lots of aesthetic puzzles? Decolore is the stress relief you didn’t know you needed, so hop in and get to decorating all the different pages and rooms. Along the way work on your pattern recognition skills and train your brain as you work through which piece goes where. ► PLACE IT Levels consist of a cute coloring page type puzzle, and it’s up to you to figure out where all the objects go and place them accordingly, thus filling in the color and completing the page. As you progress the puzzles increase in difficulty, becoming more intricate and difficult to solve. Worry not though, lots of boosters are available to keep you full steam ahead! Fantastic features: ● Lots of levels: There are already tons of exciting puzzle levels in the game, and more are being added so you never have to worry about running out of pages! Each one tells a little story, and as you progress they rapidly get more detailed and fun to solve. From greenhouses to sewing rooms, mischievous kitties and more, explore this aesthetic world as you place each décor item right where it belongs. ● 3D fun: While most puzzle games involve just placing the image in its spot, with this one you can, and in fact should, spin the page around every which way! Rooms contain back parts and hidden objects that you’ll need to find, all of which makes it way more fun. Explore the design first to get an idea of where décor might be hidden or jump straight into the room – the choice is yours. ● Calming gameplay: Get your stress relief on as you color and place decor! While you do have a limited number of lives each level, there are also lots of useful boosters that you can tap into to keep going. On top of that, there’s no limit for how long you can take to solve a level, so step away as needed and come back when you’re ready. In case you didn’t think it could get any more relaxing, the joyful music will really get you in the mood. ● Secret brain training: That’s right, not only are you slowing down and having a peaceful moment to yourself as you place items, you’re also giving your mind a mini workout too. The more you play the better you’ll get at spotting objects and picking out shapes in the design, both of which can be quite useful skills in real life too. Whether you play fast or slow, a level here and there or a whole bunch at once, you can benefit from your time gaming in so many ways. ► ADORABLE DESIGN MADE EASY Boatloads of 3D rooms with cute designs in an adorable home combine with delightful music and stress-free game play to create the perfect game! Try Decolore today and feel your stress evaporate as you color in each page and explore this perfect little world. On top of being fun and chill, your brain can get some training in, leaving you both smarter and more relaxed at the end of your gaming session, be in 5 or 35 minutes.
