About Japan Jigsaw Puzzle
One more piece. A little more Japan. Build Japan from the shapes of its prefectures and municipalities. Japan Jigsaw Puzzle is an iPhone puzzle game for exploring familiar places and discovering new ones at your own pace. ALL JAPAN AND LOCAL PUZZLES Place prefecture pieces on the national map, or try municipality puzzles within individual prefectures. Tokyo and Okinawa offer separate mainland/main-island and island packs. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Easy mode shows piece guides. Hard mode gives you the outer silhouette. Zoom and pan the board, check name labels and Japanese readings, and use hints when you need help. A DAILY PREFECTURE CHALLENGE The first clear of the prefecture selected for that Japan-calendar day grants two hint tickets. COLLECT YOUR DISCOVERIES Track clears and best results separately for each mode. Game Center leaderboards and result sharing are included. ADS AND IN-APP PURCHASES Unowned eligible puzzles may show an interstitial ad before odd-numbered starts. One-time passes remove entry ads from the included puzzles. Earn hint tickets from the daily launch, Today’s Challenge, or a rewarded ad. Tickets can be used to view hints or inspect the completed map. Japanese and English interfaces are available. Some learning prose remains in Japanese. Maps are adapted for gameplay and are not suitable for surveying or boundary decisions.
