Daily Unfold
A sheet is folded and punched: mark where the holes land when it opens.
Every day: Three paper-folding puzzles a day (easy, medium, hard), generated from the date so everyone gets the same set, plus a timed Expert puzzle with a global leaderboard. New puzzle: Midnight, local time.
Daily Unfold is a daily spatial reasoning puzzle. You see a square of paper folded along dashed lines and punched through every layer, and you tap the grid where you think the holes will appear once it is unfolded; three puzzles a day get harder, with a timed Expert round after.
About Daily Unfold
Daily Unfold turns the paper folding and hole punching task, familiar from aptitude tests, into a short daily habit. Each puzzle shows a sheet folded one or more times and then punched. You mark the cells where you expect holes in the unfolded sheet, then submit to watch the paper open and check your answer.
There are three puzzles a day: easy on a 4 by 4 grid with one fold, medium on 6 by 6 with two folds, and hard on 6 by 6 with three. Each earns one to three stars depending on how many holes you place correctly. Clear all three to unlock Expert, a timed puzzle whose times go on a public daily leaderboard under a nickname.
Puzzles are generated from the date, so everyone in the same timezone gets the same set, and they change at local midnight. The archive holds every past day, exactly as it was. There are no accounts: streaks and stars are kept in your browser. The game is free with ads between puzzles, and there is also an iPhone app from developer Mert Aslan.
It suits anyone who enjoys visual puzzles, and people practising for spatial reasoning tests.

Tips
- Unfold one step at a time in reverse: each fold mirrors the holes across its line.
- Count holes: each fold doubles them, so three folds give up to eight per punch.
- Use the archive to practise without touching your streak.
