About this game

Paint squares as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a blank grid with clues on the left of every row and on the top of every column. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting blocks in each row and column so their length and sequence corresponds to the clues.

Pic-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Japanese invention offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game enables zooming the entire puzzle, or just the grid area while keeping the clue-panes locked. Other features include a unique fingertip cursor for playing large puzzles with ease and precision, and a show/hide/lock rulers option helping focus on one row and column at a time.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Pic-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

I've always loved conceptis puzzles. This last update to pic-a-pix is horrid. I was doing a puzzle today and one of the colors in the puzzle wasnt showing up. I took a pic and would be glad to send it if i knew where. Please fix this!

artificial restriction allowing you to only play puzzles of a limited size on a phone is disappointing and ruins what could otherwise be a very engaging puzzle game

Thank you for your feedback. We have been providing these puzzles in various media for almost 30 years during which we found that if the grid squares are too small some users have difficulty to see the clues or tap the squares. This is why phone grid sizes are currently limited to 30x45, but we hope to increase this restriction in the future.
