Classic puzzle games

Jigsaw

The jigsaw puzzle is probably the most traditional picture puzzle game in the world. In this mode, the image is cut into curvy format pictures, tear apart, and scrambled. To solve the puzzle, click on the pieces and drag them to the right place. To help you on this task you can display an image miniature or the photo over the game board.

One of the most common ways to solve a jigsaw puzzle is to start with the borders. To show only the border pieces, click on the Border button.

Special cuts

Besides the classical jigsaw mode, you can also play jigsaw-like puzzles using the original ImaPuzzle's special cuts: Hearts, Stars, or Honeycomb.

Swap

In the swap puzzle mode, the picture is cut into rectangular pieces and scrambled around the board. To solve the puzzle, you have to swap two pieces until all the pieces fall in their place. To swap two pieces click on one piece and drag it over the other piece you want to exchange.

If you need some help, additionally to showing the image preview you can also show the piece number by clicking on the Number button. Please note that by showing the numbers you will add a high penalty to your game score.

Sliding puzzle

The sliding puzzle (or slide puzzle) is also a digital implementation of a classical puzzle game. Like in the swap puzzle, the pieces are cut into squares and shuffled on the board. The bottom-right-most piece is never present creating a blank space. The goal of the game is to recreate the image. To do so, one has to slide a piece to the blank space creating paths to finally the pieces to their right place. It is a very challenging game mode and to facilitate your task you can also show numbers on top of the pieces.

Math puzzle

The Math Puzzle works like the quiz puzzle, but instead of solving quiz questions, the students must solve math problems to reveal the pieces. It is perfect to help students to exercise their math abilities playfully. You donâ€™t even have to write the math exercises yourself. All you have to do is to configure the difficulty and the puzzle maker will generate different questions every time a new game is started. This way also, the students wonâ€™t learn the questions by heart but need to calculate every time they play.
