FrangoPuzzle

It's a cross between a Rubik's cube and jigsaw puzzle

Free on the app store
Tired of games that don’t offer a REAL challenge?

FrangoPuzzle uses the properties of fractals to create a puzzle that will have you tearing your hair out. Because every time you flip or rotate a tile, tiny parts of all the other tiles change as well.

FrangoPuzzle is deceptively simple – just flip and rotate the nine tiles to reveal the hidden image. But the image is scrambled using fractal transformations, so each tile you move alters the state of every other tile. It’s a cross between a Rubik’s Cube and a jigsaw puzzle where the image is constantly changing.

Features
  • Get started with the handy tutorial and hone your skills on the practice puzzle before moving on to the main challenge.
  • Comes pre-bundled with images of varying difficulty.
  • Create a puzzle from your own photos to fractalise your friends, family and pets! (One-off in-app purchase required.)
  • Compare scores and achievements with your friends and players all over the world!
  • Runs on iPad or iPhone, iOS 9 or higher.
After you have mastering fractal unscrambling, test yourself with a few extra twists:
  • hiding a tile
  • redirecting moves from one tile to another
  • coupling tiles together so each movement is mirrored by another piece.
  • For the ultimate challenge, you can have the puzzle re-scramble itself as you try to solve it!

Designed and built by fractal mathematicians, FrangoPuzzle is a seriously tricky tile puzzle.

The mathematics behind fractal transformations

FrangoPuzzle uses two, linked chaos games to transform a picture ‘at every scale’ to create a new picture. But fractal transformations are a much more powerful mathematical idea. There are a number of published papers here and more information on Michael’s website.
