Classic art jigsaw game
Retro Puzzles - Eviva L'arte
A jigsaw journey through classic paintings, built like a collection instead of a loose image folder.
Build your path through art history across 225 artwork puzzles, 45 artists and 9 world regions. Complete paintings piece by piece, unlock new parts of the collection, read short artist and artwork notes, and return whenever you want a calm but meaningful puzzle challenge.
What kind of game is it?
A painting collection that behaves like a game.
Retro Puzzles is built around classic paintings, structured progression and long-term completion. You do not just pick images from a pile: you travel through regions, discover artists, unlock works and gradually build a personal gallery of completed boards.
Classic paintings as puzzle boards
Each board is based on a historic artwork, presented as the central material of play rather than background decoration.
Progression through art
Complete puzzles to unlock more paintings, artists and regions, turning the collection into a route through art history.
A calm single-player rhythm
Play at your own pace, leave and return between sessions, and choose the difficulty that fits the moment.
The collection
225 puzzles, 45 artists, 9 regions.
The launch collection is designed around structure: 9 world regions, 45 artists and 5 paintings per artist. Each artist and artwork is paired with short, fact-based notes, so every solved board can add a small layer of discovery.
Collection route
From region to completed gallery.
The game is shaped as a route through the collection, not a loose folder of images. The board is only one step in a wider loop of discovery and completion.
Start from a world region and open a path through its artists.
Discover a painter through a focused set of works.
Read short context before the image becomes a puzzle.
Choose the difficulty and assemble the painting piece by piece.
Return to the collection with solved boards and cleaner runs.
Difficulty and play style
Relaxed when you want it. Demanding when you choose it.
Every painting can be approached through multiple difficulty tiers. Smaller boards are suited for quiet sessions, while the largest boards ask for patience, memory and a careful eye for detail.
Shorter sessions
128-525 pieces
Good for learning the image, finding the composition and settling into the board.
Focused solving
504-1540 pieces
A more detailed puzzle build with longer attention and more visual memory.
The full challenge
2000-4160 pieces
Large, demanding boards for players who want to study the painting deeply.
Screenshots and board feel
The artwork stays central.
Retro Puzzles uses the painting as the main object of attention. The interface should support the board, the selected artwork and the player's rhythm instead of fighting for the screen.
Board support
Readable help without removing the puzzle.
The public game promise stays simple: the player solves the board. The support tools are there to keep large paintings readable, not to play the game for the player.
Hint
Use a limited nudge when one area refuses to resolve and the image needs another look.
Background preview
Check the painting when orientation, color detail or a difficult edge section becomes hard to read.
Cleaner runs
Return later for better times, fewer assists and completion goals without changing the core board.
Careful, not disposable
Built to feel careful, not disposable.
Retro Puzzles is designed around a slower kind of attention. The interface, collection structure and artwork notes are meant to support the feeling of walking through a quiet digital gallery - choosing a painting, learning its details and completing it piece by piece.
Slow attention
A game for players who enjoy looking closely instead of rushing past images.
Artwork context
Short artist bios and artwork notes give each board more identity.
Offline-friendly play
A single-player experience focused on the board, the collection and the player's pace.
Completion goals
Progression, achievements and cleaner runs give the collection a long-term reason to return.
