Map Puzzle

Choose any spot on the planet — a familiar neighborhood, a remote coastline, a city you've never visited — and the app slices the satellite imagery into 15 scrambled tiles. Your job is to slide them back into the correct arrangement using the single empty space, the same mechanic that made the classic 15-puzzle a fixture on desks and tabletops for decades. The challenge scales naturally: dense urban grids with clear street patterns are forgiving, while featureless ocean tiles or snowy tundra can be genuinely tricky.

Because the imagery comes from real OpenStreetMap data, every puzzle is unique to the location you pick. There's a quiet geography lesson tucked inside each solve — you start noticing how coastlines curve, how farmland is gridded, how rivers snake. If you enjoy logic puzzles with a spatial twist, it fits right alongside other puzzle games worth exploring, including Launch Nonogram if you want something more structured.

Controls are simple keyboard arrows or mouse clicks, and a typical puzzle takes two to ten minutes depending on the location you choose — harder spots reward a second look before you start sliding.
