Tessera: Animated Puzzles

An animated puzzle every day, plus a fresh hand-crafted scene each Sunday. Pieces alive in your hand. Track every solve. Calm and ad-free.

Tessera is a daily puzzle where the pieces are alive. Each puzzle is a small looping animation, cut into square tiles that keep moving while you reassemble them. One puzzle for each day of the week. Seven scenes, three difficulties each (2×2, 3×3, 4×4). Some are gentle. Some take real attention. A color overlay highlights the piece you pick up. Connected pieces stay grouped, so a bonded chain travels as one. Tap the eye icon to peek at the assembled picture, three times per puzzle. Two optional helpers, set before each game: a grid that shows where pieces meet, and outlines around the piece in your hand. Use either, both, or neither. If the timer feels like too much, switch on no-stress mode in Settings. The clock disappears, peeks become unlimited, and placement is more forgiving. No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Offline. English and French. iPhone and iPad.
