What's inside
Everything cozy puzzling needs
Pick a picture, dive in, switch off. Hearthpiece makes assembling as relaxing or as tricky as you like:
24 to 300 pieces
Seven size steps – from a relaxed after-work puzzle to a real challenge. Optionally with piece rotation for extra bite.
A gallery to unlock
Every solved picture joins your collection, revealed. Unsolved, it stays mysteriously blurred – a gentle nudge to start the next one.
A cozy stage
A calm wooden table in a warm living-room setting. Day and night follow your real local time.
Helpers on demand
Edge hint (green snaps, red doesn't fit), solution outlines and a timer – each toggled on individually, just how you like it.
Daily puzzle & gold time
A new scene every day with a gold target time. Solve quickly, beat the gold time and level up.
Free & ad-free
Puzzle for free – no subscription, no ads. The only paid option is puzzling your own pictures. Planned for Windows, Linux and Android.
A closer look
From the first piece to “Done!”
This is how Hearthpiece plays – from assembling at the table to the moment the last piece snaps in.
01
Puzzling the way it should be
Pieces are cut from a shared texture and stay razor-sharp at any zoom. Gentle snapping with a subtle contact shadow, and a button redistributes loose pieces. Mouse and touch are equals – zoom by wheel or pinch.
- Sharp edges at any zoom
- Gentle snapping with a contact shadow
- Redistribute loose pieces with a button
- Mouse and touch as equals
02
Your difficulty, your helpers
Choose from seven sizes between 24 and 300 pieces and decide whether pieces may rotate. Toggle helpers individually: edge hint, solution outlines and a timer – as hard or as gentle as you want.
- Seven sizes: 24 to 300 pieces
- With or without piece rotation
- Edge hint in green/red
- Solution outlines & timer optional
03
A gallery to unlock
Every scene is sorted by genre. Unsolved pictures stay blurred – only once you finish them are they revealed. Plus gentle statistics, with no ranking pressure or streak chasing.
- Scenes sorted by genre
- Blurred until you solve them
- Gentle statistics, no pressure
- Progress tracked per size
04
The moment it clicks
The last piece snaps in, gold dust rises and the finished picture sits before you in full glory – “picture revealed in the gallery”. Beat the gold time and you level up. The daily puzzle keeps a little pull going every day.
- Rewarding win moment with gold dust
- The finished picture in full glory
- Beat the gold time, level up
- A daily puzzle every day
Impressions
