Rebuild the picture.
One wrong tap
ends the run.

Play a photo you shot, one from your library, or one from our gallery. With your own picture there’s no box lid to check against — the only reference is the one in your head. Sixteen tiles, tapped back in order, one clean pass.

Level 1, Warm Up — solving itself, live.

How it works

Any photo becomes a puzzle in four steps.

1

Pick a photo

Shoot one, choose from your library, or use the curated gallery. Crop it square and study it as long as you want.

2

Watch it scramble

The picture breaks into 16 numbered tiles — the last clear look you get.

3

Tap them back in order

1 through 16. Each correct tap locks a tile and the photo rebuilds under your finger.

4

Finish clean

All sixteen, one pass. Miss one and the run ends — start again and beat your own time.

The How to Play screen in the 16 Tiles app

That’s the whole game. The hard part is doing it sixteen times.

Powerups

Stuck? You have three ways out.

A clean pass is the challenge, not a trap. Every level comes with help you can call on — you decide when it’s worth spending.

Shuffle

Rescrambles the tiles you haven’t placed yet, so a board you can’t read becomes one you can.

2 free to start

Lifeline

Places the next tile for you — the one you were about to guess wrong. The run stays alive.

2 free to start

Quick View

Flashes the hidden tiles back for a beat. On the later levels, that beat is the whole game.

2 free to start

Run out? Top up with packs of five, or the Helper Bundle with all three. Nothing you buy is ever required to finish a level.

It gets harder in ways you won’t see coming.

Level 1 is a clean scramble. By the last tier the tiles are working against your memory, not just your eyes — and the level names are the only warning you get.

Levels 1 – 8

Normal

Learn the rhythm of a one-pass solve.

Warm Up → Vanishing Act
Levels 9 – 12

Advanced

The picture stops helping you as much as it did.

New Angles → Half Blind
Levels 13 – 16

Expert

Nothing stays where you left it. Memory is the last tool standing.

Total Chaos → The Gauntlet

The same four tiles, a few levels apart.
