In this year-in-review puzzle, you work through one enormous grid that gradually reveals a pixel-art collage inspired by events and topics from 2024.
Use numbered clues to reason out which tiles to mark and uncover. The grid is divided into regions of different sizes, and you can move between them as you solve.
Completing regions reveals parts of the mosaic, with some areas also unlocking brief notes about related 2024 events. Hints and an error-correction option can help when you get stuck.
Players often describe the logic puzzles as relaxing and easy to pick up, and enjoy watching the huge mosaic fill in one section at a time. Some appreciate discovering brief facts about 2024, while others find the repeated solving tedious or object to the framing and selection of news topics.
🧩 2024: Mosaic Retrospective is digital cross-stitch. A meditative game about completing a single enormous 60,000 piece grid puzzle.
