What Makes Map Puzzles Stand Out
Can you rebuild these maps from the past and present? Like a jigsaw puzzle but each piece is a cut-out section of the map which needs to be put back into the right place. Now with 126 available map puzzles ready to play immediately!
EASY TO LEARN
Simple drag and drop interface that works for adults and children. A simple tutorial on "How To Play" is included. Puzzles in each pack start easy and get harder the more you do.
HARD TO MASTER
Puzzles range from easy (solve in minutes) through to very hard (may take an hour). But don't worry, your placed pieces are automatically saved so you can do the puzzle over several sessions. You can also turn on and off useful guides like outlines or a ghost image depending on how hard you want it to be. And if some pieces are too small, just turn on the Auto-Zoom feature.

EDUCATIONAL
The maps span time from ancient eras to the modern day. A range of map types are also represented including world, country, city, story, constellations, geological and weather. Once a puzzle is completed you can explore a zoomed in version to read the fascinating details on the map.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
All puzzles are family friendly with the easier puzzles well suited to your younger puzzlers.
PEACEFUL
An uncluttered puzzle solving space lets you be in the moment as you work your way through the puzzle at your own pace.
HELPFUL
Some of the puzzles are hard. If you get stuck, use the Shuffle button to get new pieces, the Auto Fill feature to put those difficult pieces into their correct places or a Ghost image to help you find the right place.
CONNECTED
Works on your iPads and Macs. In-App purchases of puzzle packs are shared between your devices and you can easily enable synching of Puzzle completion progress between them. Start a puzzle on one device and finish it on another.
This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Lovely music to accompany solutions. Only problem: the size of letters and words too small. Going mostly by shapes and colors. But it's a great game.
The puzzles selected are thought provoking and generates curiosity of the subject. The maps are well selected! A zoom feature would be appreciated and enable better placement of micro pieces.
Can't see parts. Need to have a way to enlarge as you go along.
Each piece is cut according to the figures, drawings and shapes of the maps. It looks easy, but it is a bit challenging. Beautiful, beautiful pictures.
