About this game

Tessera is jigsaw, done with craft.

Most digital jigsaws drop a grid over a photo. Tessera cuts real interlocking pieces, deterministic knob-and-socket seams that lock like the real thing, and lets you choose how they're cut and how the board is shaped.

Cut it your way

Seven tab styles (Classic, Straight, Slashes, Ripple, Pebbles, Notch, Dovetail) across four tessellations: the classic grid, hexagons, triangles, and organic Voronoi cells. Pick anywhere from a relaxed few dozen pieces to a marathon 1,000+.

A puzzle every day

The daily puzzle is the same for everyone, seeded by the date: build a streak and fill the calendar. Found a great one? Share its seed code and a friend solves the exact same puzzle.

Calm, and yours

Labelled sorting trays, smooth zoom & pan, a ghost-image reference, a zen no-timer mode, and four warm table themes. Fully keyboard-playable, colourblind-safe, with text-size and reduce-motion options. Soft piano at the table when you want it, with quiet space between the pieces.

Just puzzles.
