The gallery’s pixel-art paintings have disappeared, and you take the role of a restorer bringing them back. Each completed puzzle reveals a painting and helps restore the gallery.
Solve each painting by reading number clues along the rows and columns of a grid, then marking which cells should be filled or left blank. The game includes undo and redo, and larger canvases can be tackled in smaller sections.
Progress through 150 paintings across 15 rooms, with Normal, Pro and Master difficulty modes. Beyond the main puzzles, Mystery Masterpiece offers an ongoing challenge; the game also supports multiple player profiles.
Players praise the game as an enjoyable, content-rich picross experience, often pointing to its range of puzzles, adjustable challenge, and clean interface. Some also enjoy the paintings and the satisfaction of uncovering them. One reviewer objects to achievement requirements that can mean replaying puzzles at a different difficulty.
