PuzzlePic's daily puzzle with 9 of 24 pieces revealed, showing parts of a fountain pen on a handwritten page, and a guess box

PuzzlePic is an iPhone guessing game built on a daily picture puzzle. Pictures sit behind grids of pieces that open one at a time, and you try to name the answer, now what the day's four pictures have in common, as early as you can. Everyone gets the same puzzle with the pieces in the same order, so scores can be compared with friends.

About PuzzlePic

PuzzlePic's daily puzzle hides pictures behind a grid of gray pieces that open one at a time, and at any point you can type a guess. The fewer pieces on view when you guess right, the better your score. When it launched in April 2026 the daily was one photo behind 24 pieces; since version 2.0 (27 April 2026) the daily shows four hidden pictures, and the job is to say what they have in common, with a clue in the banner at the top to start you off.

The early pieces are often just texture or a corner of the scene, so the game is about reading small details: the curve of a pen nib, a line of handwriting, the edge of an ink bottle. Because every player sees the same pictures with the pieces revealed in the same order, a score of nine pieces means the same thing for everyone, and results can be compared with friends. The app keeps a streak and stats.

Beyond the daily there are two social modes. Head to Head pairs you with a random opponent on one shared puzzle: you take turns guessing, 60 seconds per turn, and the first correct guess wins (since version 2.0 it stays hidden until enough players are around). Squads are private groups where friends take turns posting photos from their own camera rolls, with a hint, for the others to guess within 24 hours.

PuzzlePic is made by Richard Rohrbach and came out on the App Store in April 2026. It suits players of picture-reveal dailies who like to commit to an early guess.

Tips

Read the label above the grid first: it tells you what kind of answer to look for.
Textures and materials (paper, metal, wood) narrow the answer fast; think about where they would appear together.
A wrong guess early costs less than waiting too long when you are fairly sure.
Pieces near the middle usually show the subject; edge pieces often show only the background.
