About This Game

Build beautiful 3D dioramas that come to life! No quests, no timers and no leveling – just a relaxed experience to tackle at your own pace. This is the flat screen adaptation of the indie VR hit with over 3.000 reviews. 

Pick your puzzle: Want to visit the towering Sphynx? Dive to the sea floor? Join Dracula for dinner? Or puzzle a cute spice stand from a Turkish Bazaar? Explore over 30 intricate puzzles made from 3D scans of real world locations - and some made from our favourite games!

Looking for a quick, 5min puzzle snack in between tasks? Or that epic, multi hour challenge for a rainy weekend? Our two game modes and different pieces counts got you covered: 

• Tabletop Mode: start with all the pieces, sort arrange and build the fractured diorama piece by piece like a real world jigsaw.
