Mosaic Puzzle Art: rebuild the picture one hexagon at a time
Mosaic Puzzle Art is a portrait picture-copying puzzle on a hexagonal grid. Choose a color, tap the cells that need it and press CHECK once your picture matches the reference. An eye button lets you consult the target again. The picture menu shows nine cards per page, with unfinished designs behind question marks; completing a picture opens the next challenge. In this version, fill individual cells by tapping rather than dragging tiles between positions.

How to play Mosaic Puzzle Art
Each picture is a pattern of colored hexagons. Your job is to reproduce it exactly on an empty grid of the same shape.
- 1
Open a picture
Tap an unlocked card on the picture menu. At the start only the apple is visible; the other cards show question marks.
- 2
Look at the target
Tap the eye button in the top bar to see the finished mosaic, then close it with the red X to return to your grid.
- 3
Fill the cells
Tap a palette color—the active one carries a tick—then tap each hexagon that should use it. Fill the cells individually rather than sweeping a drag across the grid.
- 4
Press CHECK
When your grid matches the target, press CHECK. If anything is missing or wrong, a WRONG! banner appears and you can keep editing.

Why Mosaic Puzzle Art plays differently
Hexagons instead of squares
The canvas is a honeycomb, so each cell has six neighbors and slanted lines in a picture follow the hex rows.
Target on demand
The eye button shows the finished mosaic at any point, so the puzzle tests careful copying rather than memory.
A strict CHECK button
CHECK compares the complete picture with the reference. An unfinished or mismatched mosaic returns a WRONG! message.
Pictures unlock in order
Unsolved pictures sit behind question-mark cards, nine to a page, and open as you finish earlier ones.
Tips for Mosaic Puzzle Art
- Count the rows on the target first. Note how many hexagons each color covers per row before you fill anything.
- Work one color at a time. Selecting red once and filling every red cell saves switching back and forth through the palette.
- Start from a straight line. On the apple, the row of blue cells along the bottom is the easiest reference point.
- Open the target often. The eye button has no cost, so compare your grid with it after each color.
- Finish the picture before pressing CHECK. Compare every colored cell with the reference so a missing section does not produce a WRONG! result.
Who is Mosaic Puzzle Art for?
Pixel-art and cross-stitch fans
Filling a grid cell by cell to match a pattern is the same skill as following a stitch chart.
Kids learning colors
Nine flat colors, a fruit as the first picture and no timer on screen.
Players who want a calm puzzle
No move limit or countdown appears on screen; you work at your own pace until CHECK passes.
Checking and unlocking
Mosaic Puzzle Art shows no score counter. Progress is counted in pictures: the CHECK button compares your grid with the target and either accepts it or shows WRONG!, and according to GamePix, completing a puzzle unlocks the next level. Locked pictures appear as question-mark cards in the menu, nine per page, with an arrow button leading to the next page. The top bar also carries a restart button and a home button for returning to the picture menu.

Is Mosaic Puzzle Art good for kids?+
