Why choose the Art Deco look for Phuzzlings?
There are almost no game apps that use the Art Deco aesthetic. There are a few that include some Art Deco elements, but the only notable mobile app with an Art Deco look is the Bioshock mobile series. This make Phuzzlings instantly unique among game apps.
Across all the puzzle apps the high-end ones have a very distinctive look, but they also mostly have a similar glossy, 3D feel. All the lower-end puzzle apps look different, yet somehow all look the same.
Our research shows our target audience approves of Phuzzlings’ Art Deco look and they consider it less childish and more distinctive than other games like Candy Crush and Royal Match. Importantly they don’t view it as unpolished or inferior or unsophisticated, even when compared to puzzle games with the highest budgets and production value.
How does sharing a puzzle with someone work?
The Phuzzlings app creates a file that you can share with anyone the way you would share any file. You can use email or a messaging app. The puzzle is sent directly to the recipient using the user’s regular apps and it is not uploaded to, or stored by, a Phuzzlings server.
How does a word-hunt puzzle work to reveal a photo?
As you find each word in the word-hunt puzzle paint is splattered onto the canvas in the background and slowly reveals the image until it is fully painted.
Are the user’s photos secure when they are sent as a puzzle?
Just like any photo or file on their device, user’s need to be aware who they send their puzzles to. Phuzzling’s does not store or process user’s puzzles on a server anywhere. The only way someone can open a puzzle without your permission is with direct access to your device or media accounts.
