Vistapin (Dayzle)
Rate itFind the street corner and the direction a postcard of a tiny island was taken from, in six photos.
Every day: One postcard and one small island a day, the same for every player: find the square and direction the picture was taken from, in six photos at most. Monday is a 6x6 island with four directions and the sun shown; from Wednesday eight directions; Sunday a 9x9 island at dusk with light fog. New puzzle: Local midnight; past days stay playable but do not count.
Vistapin is a daily perspective puzzle on Dayzle. A postcard arrives from a tiny Mediterranean-style island; you stand a tourist on a square of the map, turn them, and take a photo, with six photos to match the postcard exactly.
About Vistapin (Dayzle)
Vistapin is one of the original daily games on Dayzle, a site of puzzle games owned by TLL Studios in Valencia. Each day at your local midnight a new island and postcard appear, the same for everyone.
The postcard shows a view from somewhere on the island: houses, a lighthouse, a bell tower, a windmill, the sea. Below it is an isometric map. Tap a street, plaza or quay square to place the tourist there, which is free, and turn them with the arrows; a see-through cone shows what the camera would see. Taking a photo spends one of your six, and the result appears as a polaroid you can lay over the postcard.
Each photo is graded: green for the right square, yellow for one or two squares away, red for further, plus a tick or cross for the direction. Every photo leaves a numbered pin on the map with that result. You can turn the map a quarter at a time, and a compass shows north and, on sunny days, the sun. Your score is the number of photos you needed; after six misses the map shows the spot.
The week gets harder. Monday is a 6x6 island with four directions and the sun in the picture, Wednesday brings eight directions and long shadows, Friday and Saturday give no help, and Sunday is a 9x9 island at dusk with light fog. Past editions can be replayed from the archive.
How to play Vistapin (Dayzle)
- Open Vistapin on Dayzle and study the day's postcard: which monuments show, and how large.
- Tap a street, plaza or quay square on the map to stand the tourist there; moving costs nothing.
- Turn the tourist with the arrows until the camera cone covers what the postcard shows.
- Press Take photo to spend one of six tries and read the feedback: green, yellow or red for the square, a tick or cross for the direction.
- Adjust using the pins on the map until your photo matches the postcard exactly.

Tips
- Start with the monuments: each is unique on the island, so ask from where they would line up as on the postcard.
- Size is distance: a tiny lighthouse is far away, and whatever hides part of it is nearer to you.
- A yellow square means try a neighbour; a tick on direction means keep facing that way and only move.
- Turn the map a quarter at a time when buildings hide the streets you need to see.
