An earthquake has scattered more than 2,000 puzzle pieces around a gallery. As the janitor, you explore its rooms to find the pieces and restore 87 paintings by 13 artists.
Pick up pieces from around the gallery, carry them to their paintings, and rotate and position them until they fit. Pieces may be scattered far from their frames, so identifying an artwork or artist can help you sort out where they belong.
Completing puzzles unlocks upgrades that help you find, handle, and place pieces more quickly. Challenge modes change the rules, while My Puzzles lets you turn your own images into puzzles and arrange them in a custom gallery.
Many reviewers enjoy the calm gallery atmosphere, classical music, and satisfying routine of finding and fitting scattered pieces. They also appreciate recognizing artists and paintings as they play, and often highlight the option to create puzzles from their own images. Some reviewers find the hints and upgrades make placement too easy, while others mention awkward controls or difficulty distinguishing similar-looking pieces.
When's the worst time to be the janitor of a puzzle gallery? After an earthquake, of course! You play as the janitor of a puzzle gallery, and an earthquake has scattered all of the 5000+ puzzle pieces everywhere. Your job is to use your puzzling skills (and some added enhancements) to put all of the pieces back in their place.
Listen to classical music and admire famous paintings as you solve nearly 200 jigsaw puzzles of varying shapes, subjects, and sizes. Whether you want to see how fast you can solve every one by min-maxing various abilities and sprinting across the gallery, or you just want to chill and work on some puzzles, this clean up simulator is right for you.
The gallery is home to nearly 200 paintings from over 20 famous artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Hokusai, and more, ensuring each piece and section is visually unique and distinctive from the others. Each of the paintings was sourced from Public Domain scans and photographs of their museum originals.
Upload your images and turn them into puzzles! You can solve them one at a time and adjust their size, or fill the entire gallery with your own curated selection in the My Puzzles game mode, providing you with full customization and endless gameplay.
The My Puzzles Custom Gallery Mode now supports up to 4 players, so whether you want to handle the mess as a solo job or bring some friends, for your own curated gallery or the classic paintings, it all gets cleaned by the end of the day.
Intuitive controls and visuals such as ghost previews on hover and shimmering piece lock-in effects make the act of solving a puzzle both satisfying and exciting.
Skill upgrades to different areas of your brain that help you find, manipulate, and solve puzzles quicker with each puzzle you complete.
Challenge Modes for those puzzlers that don't need any extra assistance, or are looking for different challenges to make the game feel totally different such as a Black & White Mode and "The Big White" (1024 pieces of pure white).
Turn any image you want into puzzles of varying shapes and sizes so that, whether you want to create a greater challenge with a 1000 piece landscape, or just turn your pet into a 50 piece easy solve, you can solve as many puzzles as you want!
Want to curate your own gallery? You can upload up to 500 images and fill the gallery with memes, custom artwork, or really anything (so long as it's a png, jpg, webp, or other common image format).
