Photo Puzzle

Game Goal

Return scattered photo tiles to their original positions, then correctly enter the location where the photo was taken.

Create Room

1. Pick a Photo
   The host uploads a photo and adjusts framing and zoom if needed.
2. Set Location & Grid
   Enter the answer location and choose puzzle difficulty from 3×3 to 6×6.

How to Play

1. Swap Tiles
   Tap tiles to swap their positions and reconstruct the complete picture.
2. Use Hints
   Multi-tier hints reveal the number of misplaced tiles, highlight wrong slots, or preview the original image.
3. Guess Location
   Once the puzzle is assembled, enter the correct location name to clear the round.

Strategy & Tips

Place border and corner pieces first. Focus on distinctive features like buildings, horizons, or roads to narrow down regions quickly.

Make sure to type landmark names accurately. If unsure, use the multi-tier hints step by step.

Network & Troubleshooting (FAQ)

1. Host Browser Session
   Original photos are transferred P2P directly from the host's browser. The host should keep their browser window open during gameplay.
2. Delayed P2P Transfer
   Under strict firewalls or mobile networks, P2P connection may take a moment. Click 'Retry Resource' or refresh the page to reconnect.
3. Room Retention Lifecycle
   Draft rooms last 1 hour. Active public rooms stay for 3 days after last activity before transitioning to archived status.

Safe & Fair Play

Only use photos you have rights to or consent for. Avoid photos containing sensitive personal information like faces, documents, or personal addresses.

Anyone who knows the room link may attempt to enter. For private gatherings, use a private room and share the link only with people you trust.
