A decade ago, Picture Cross launched under the name World’s Biggest Picture Cross, setting out to be the ultimate nonogram app for mobile devices. Today, with more than 10,000 puzzles to its name, Picture Cross is celebrating its 10th anniversary by introducing new modes and an influx of fresh puzzles.
Picture Cross offers an extensive collection of puzzles, ranging in grid sizes and difficulty levels from Easy to Expert. The gameplay remains true to the classic nonogram format, where you use numerical clues to fill in the correct squares, gradually unveiling a pixel art image.
The images you unlock come in themed packs and hidden poster scenes. The game boasts over 60 themed puzzle packs, allowing you to dive into Motorsport for a set of 100 fast-paced puzzles or embark on a space-themed adventure with Moonshot, featuring another 100 challenges.
Other thematic options include Mini Golf for those nostalgic for the greens, Rockstar for music enthusiasts, and Sci-Fi Celebration for fans of aliens and warp drives. You can also explore Mythical Monsters, delve into Fairy Tales, or unearth secrets in Archaeology.
For a more down-to-earth experience, try A Day At The Races or The Airport, each unveiling a new scene. Pirates! offers a thrilling shipload of puzzles. And if you think you've seen it all, the Encyclopedia of Picture Cross provides a remixed collection to keep the challenge alive.
To commemorate this milestone, Picture Cross introduces a Map View feature, which helps you plan your puzzle-solving journey. A new Tournament Mode is now available for those who enjoy a competitive edge. Additionally, a comprehensive playing guide offers solving strategies, enhancing your puzzle-solving skills. Both classic and multi-color puzzles are included in all modes.
Pete Williamson, CEO of the game's creators at puzzling.com, expressed his gratitude to the fans on the game's 10th anniversary. He hinted at more exciting updates slated for 2025 and beyond. You can experience Picture Cross by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
