Tessera - Puzzles and Games

Every puzzle you solve helps a little village grow.

Tessera is a cozy home for logic puzzles. Each game is a building on a painted map that you drag around with your finger. Tap a building and its levels climb up a winding trail, with the next one always waiting in the middle and a small mosaic friend beside it cheering you on.

There are no ads. Not a banner, not a video, not one interruption between you and the puzzle.

THE GAMES IN YOUR VILLAGE

Astra: place stars so that no two ever touch. Seat a star and every square around it marks itself off, so you spend your time thinking instead of tidying.

Eclipse: fill the grid with suns and moons, never three alike in a row, and the same number of each in every line.

Orbit: draw one unbroken route through every square, reaching each numbered stop in order. Drag to trace it and lift to keep it.

Sudoku: pick a number once and tap every cell it belongs in, like a stamp. The squares it can't go in step back, so what stays bright is what is still possible.

Snake Garden: tap the sleepy candy snakes to send them slithering home and open the treasure chest. Move the ones blocking the way first. Pinch to zoom in on a tangle, and ask for a hint if you get stuck.

Five games live in the village now, and more are on the way.

SOLVE, EARN, GROW

A new level costs 10 gems, and replays are always free. Just opening Tessera each day gives you 50 gems, which is five new levels. Every first solve earns tiles, and tiles make your buildings grander, so the whole village changes as you play.

HINTS THAT TEACH

Stuck? A heart buys a hint, and you get five hearts every day. A hint shows your next smart move and tells you why it works in one plain sentence, so you learn the trick instead of just being told where to tap.

EVERY PUZZLE IS FAIR

Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and each one is checked before it reaches you. Mistakes cost nothing. Each game teaches itself the first time you open it, right on the board, in about thirty seconds.

WINS THAT FEEL LIKE WINS

Solve a level and a big gold star bursts out of a shower of confetti, with your time and the tiles you earned. Share it as a picture and challenge a friend to beat your time.

QUESTS AND A FRIENDLY LEADERBOARD

Three fresh quests every day, plus weekly and monthly ones, all paying real gems. Every solve earns points on a seasonal leaderboard, and quicker, cleaner solves earn more.

PLAY MORE WHEN YOU WANT

Gem packs are there when you want a few more levels, and Tessera Plus makes every new level free for as long as you are a member. Nothing is locked behind a paywall, and a free player plays the very same puzzles as everyone else.

MADE TO BE READ

Every colour is checked for contrast, and nothing in the app relies on colour alone, so it works in bright sunlight and for colour-blind players. A Juice setting turns the animation down or off if you like things calm.

No ads. No timers that make you wait. Just good puzzles, and a village that grows with you.
