Every puzzle has a home

A calm path of painted scenes.

Each collection is a painted watercolor scene. Puzzle by puzzle, an empty courtyard, pond or snowy hot spring becomes a living place. Then you can paint the scene itself.

  • Walk the Path

    29 painted watercolor scenes in two seasons and 515 pixel-art puzzles, from tiny first wins to grand showpieces. Each finished scene lights the next stretch of The Path.

  • Every puzzle finds its place

    Paint a sprite over the softly blurred scene. When the last cell is filled, the blur lifts and it takes its place in that world, with its own shadow, reflection and gentle sound.

  • Paint the Scene

    Once most of a scene’s objects are home, paint the painting behind them as one large paint-by-number, and each area reveals the real brushwork. Gentle is about 30 colors and an hour; Studio, about 45 colors and a few sittings.

  • Daily Meditation

    One small puzzle each day, the same for everyone. Each month is its own painted calendar scene, a full year from October 2026 to September 2027, and a finished month can be saved as a wallpaper.

  • Stillness over score

    No countdowns, no fail state, no stars. Undo and hints are always free, Zen mode hides everything but the picture, and 35 quiet Moments wait along the way.

  • Made to feel good

    Soft painting sounds and an ambient soundscape for every scene. Choose the highlight color for the squares to paint, and turn on color patterns to tell similar shades apart.

Island Lagoon, the first Season 2 scene, finished with dolphins, a sailboat and palm trees
