Puzzling Places is a relaxing and wholesome 3D jigsaw puzzle game where you put together hyper-realistic miniatures of beautiful places from around the globe.
Puzzling Places is a modern take on an age-old pastime that’s fun for the whole family, thanks to its simple rules, easy controls, and comfortable playstyles. Play seated, standing, or at full roomscale!
Each puzzle is created from a unique Photogrammetry 3D scan, whether it’s of a room in a museum, a city on a side of a hill, or an ancient monastery. With every piece puzzled, each site slowly comes to life with an immersive soundscape.
I need more! This app is awesome. This is the first review I’ve written. It’s so relaxing, and very hard to put down. I love the background sounds as well. Please tell me there will be more puzzles, they are so amazing and wonderfully life like. Love this app!
Mind blowing. I am blown away by this, it’s incredible. The developers of this are awesome. And it’s free, unbelievable. Okay it’s a puzzle, but it’s also much more, sounds are linked to your progress so as you build the item sounds play that are connected to that section. Full credit, this is a definitely must have app that’s really demonstrates the full potential of VR
One of the best. I am someone who finds jigsaw puzzles boring, but not this. I wasn't sure at first as it looked quite daunting being presented with all the pieces, but after a while I really got into it and ended up playing until my battery died.
One thing though, it would have been nice to have some information about the place I was putting together. Maybe put some information on the back of each of the photos so we can learn more about it.
Also I would like to see the pieces snap into place more slowly. I just think it's more satisfying rather than the way it snaps rather too quickly into place. Maybe provide an option to control that.
Love this! I wish there were more puzzles to do but I just go back and redo them over and over. The only thing I can think of that would make this even more epic would be if you could grab a piece with both hands to twist it. Maybe also hand controls. But so awesome.
Outstanding experience! This app is simply incredible. High quality scans of very visually interesting locations. Really enjoyable experience getting all the pieces figured out. And the controls are perfectly intuitive. Set out your reference photos and your puzzle pieces anywhere in space. Kind of like Ironman interacting with his virtual screens. Really, really cool experience. I can’t believe something this amazing was free!
Well executed puzzle game. This is a fairly simple concept very well executed. The way the pieces snap together, the sound, and controls make this a very satisfying experience. I look forward to buying a full version of this with many more puzzles when available.
Way more fun than you think! Puzzling Places is so much fun! This puzzle game is relaxing, enjoyable, and satisfying. The user environment and controls are well thought out and let’s you focus on just the puzzle. Also worthy of note is the soundscape which builds up in layers as you complete more of each puzzle — genius. I can’t wait for more puzzles. Take my money — please.
Can we have some more please !! My 70 year old mum spends literally hours on this one game ! She’s done all the puzzles and can’t get enough ! She lives the atmosphere and the connected sounds as well - it’s a total winner ! Are there more puzzles in development as this concept is totally unique ! She’d love to be involved in testing as well ! Thanks again you made lockdown a little easier !
Definitely recommend. I love jigsaw puzzles so when I saw this, it got me super excited. This is jigsaw puzzle on a different dimension! Apart from the first level, others need you to put in some good effort. Game mechanics is pretty interesting, ability to categorize few pieces so that you can refer to them later—super useful.
More, please! Just finished the sixth and final puzzle and it's left me craving more! I can't praise this "game" enough. It thoroughly engages the brain and gives it one heck of a workout. I'm looking forward to the full blown sequel with a lot more puzzles. (The more puzzles and the more pieces the better!!!) Thank you!!!
Inconceivable! Honestly, I was supposed to take a shower but no, I was so focused on the game more because the way it look and the way I experienced everything, we Need more levels, the Developers are amazing
This is not easy demo , a lot of work. First, thank you development team for this demo. I was finally able to finish all the puzzles, it took me long time and so much energy. At the end I was happy. Yes, I love to buy your full game because the demo is not enough. Can you add a timer to record time and show total time at the end of each puzzle. Also can player allow to choose different number of pieces on the same puzzle , 50 pieces for beginners, 100 pieces for normal, 200 pieces for advanced. One more idea , can player allow to save the finished puzzle to a save file as a 3D model , and able to view the finished puzzle 3D model from the save file after completion if possible. Because after all the hard work, I want to keep a copy of the finished puzzle if possible, before I restart the puzzle all over again. If this is good idea. Thank you.
Looking forward to more. What a great puzzle game. Perfect balance between difficult and fun. By this I mean that it is never frustrating the way puzzles can be, but is is very challenging. The game is perfectly set up for ease of grabbing pieces and everything is in view. Also, it is very rewarding when you find a piece, put a couple of large chunks together, or complete a puzzle! Looking forward to more.
Impressive 3D puzzle game. one of the best experiences in VR. Superb photogrammetry puzzles, I love the ambiance sounds changing along as we complete the puzzles. The gameplay improvements as of late have been great. I truly believe this app has potential to be a big hit with a little bit more polish and more puzzles. Maybe add the older puzzles in a hidden menu, or unlock them once you have completed all the regular ones? Also, I hope eventually the devs can look into a multiplayer mode, that would be truly fantastic. Highly recommended. And congratulation to the devs.
Great use of VR ! Chilled game. Great puzzle game. A 3D puzzle that challenges you without making it too hard. One of them even built the inside too. Great detail. Relaxing background sounds. You can sort the pieces into grids and zoom them away when you need a clear area. There are cards for you to look at (like a box lid) from several views.
Loved playing this. Looking forward to more packs coming out on Oculus in the store.
Not sure when i became "this" guy... I was actually looking forward to wrapping up my Population One session so I could get back to my Christmas puzzle, lol. Amazing app. I'd overlooked it for quite some time, but I'm glad they put it on here. After beating the 20 piece one, I was hooked. I subscribed to their patreon and immediately downloaded the additional 30+ puzzles. Excellently done and I look forward to the full release. 2 suggestions - 1. MULTI-PLAYER...as I sat in the Christmas living room pulling together my pieces, I thought about how cool it would be if my wife were working on it with me. 2. Smaller piece puzzles - I know folks want MORE and bigger, but I really enjoyed the small amount of time it took to put the 20 piece together and it made me wish there were a few others, everything is 100 pieces or more. A few smaller puzzles would be appreciated.
Perfect puzzle game. This game is the perfect puzzle to cool down after a big play session of *insert action game name here* or just to chill out after a big stressful day! I'm amazed by the small details of each piece and the handling of the game is very easy. Can't wait to see more new puzzles! Definitely recommended.
これはベータ版であることを考えると、私はあなたがこのフィードバックで助けを見つけることを願っています。ここにいくつかの要望があります。 1. 親指のスティックを使って空間を移動できるようにしてください。乗り物酔いを避けるために、移動速度が非常に遅くなる可能性があります。 2. 2. トリガーでピースを掴むときに、トリガーを持ち続けると、親指の棒で空間を移動できるようにしてください。 3. 3. ボタンを押すことで、次のことができます: a) 元の場所に戻るように選択されているルーズピースをポップする、および/または/または b) すべてのルーズピースを元の場所に戻るようにポップする。 4. これらの変更で、あなたはその後、パズルの幽霊の輪郭を持つ博物館でのようなものを持っている可能性があり、そこに作品を組み立てることができます。 参照写真は、博物館のピースが壁の上の写真と台座の上にあったかのように背景になる可能性があります。
私はこのアプリのために非常に興奮しています

Great game! I love this and can’t wait for the final version and more content.
With this being beta, I hope you find help in this feedback. Here are some requests: 1. Allow us to move through the space using the thumb sticks. The locomotion could be very slow to avoid motion sickness. 2. When grabbing a piece with the trigger, if you continue holding the trigger allow the thumb sticks to then move the pieces through space. 3. By pressing one of the buttons, you could: a) pop a loose piece that is selected to return to its original location, and/or b) pop all loose pieces back to their original location. 4. With these changes, you could then have a like in a museum with a ghost outline of the puzzle and assemble the pieces there. The reference photos could be a backdrop as though the museum piece was on a pedestal with photos on a wall beyond.
Even hardcore gamers will enjoy this. I'm the type of gamer who likes in depth experiences that give you a story, maybe some action, and make you think. Games like Walking Dead Saints & Sinners or Myst for example. So it surprised me that Puzzling Places hooked me so quickly. I've put in around 8 hours so far with the free puzzles and plan to sign up to the developer's Patreon to get more. Part of the magic is in the sound design. As you click together the pieces, the game starts adding environmental sounds to the scene. The sounds are localized, so you'll only hear some of them if you get close to certain sections of the puzzle. It's an amazing and rewarding experience. The interface is very well thought out. You can see all the pieces in rows and columns. Just point, grab it and slap it together! It doesn't get more basic than that. You can also gather together similar pieces by dragging them into a # object. This lets you organize and work on distinct parts of the puzzle. You can quit anytime and when you come back all the pieces are exactly where you left them. You can also work on different puzzles concurrently. And of course there's the visuals. Let me tell you, the photogrammetry is breathtaking. I look forward to working on a new puzzle every night to relax before bed.
What”s happened to me 😂. I downloaded this puzzle game because it was free and; well, just to take a look.......... and I’ve been blown away! I’ve never been a puzzler: Never considered buying a 3D puzzle in my life but this game is incredible. The detail of the pieces is unbelievable, even on my Quest 1. It’s not just the quality of the puzzles, it’s the quality touches around them: When you pick up the last piece and the lighting slightly dims until you put it in place; when I completed the interior of the monastery, the chanting subtly creeps in to the background.... class! Devs, you have created a real gem of a game here and I for one am hooked. I am gutted that I’m on to the last puzzle and can only hope the wait for more puzzles or a full release comes around soon coz I’d pay out for something of this quality no question 😉✊🏻 Great job ✊🏻
