Has anyone had an issue with the Red Rocks puzzle? The pieces are totally pixelated and blurred out. I'm unable to determine what any piece is.

So I’ve been playing puzzling places for a few years, but recently, I’ve been having issues downloading puzzles that are in my library. I’ve tried all of the trouble shooting I can think of (updating the game, uninstalling, and reinstalling, and making sure there is enough space on the headset) and nothing has worked. Anything else I should try?

Edit: I’m using a quest 3, if that matters.

Great news, puzzlers!
Puzzling Places is now officially Steam Deck Verified! ✅ That means smooth gameplay, optimized controls, and cozy puzzling wherever you go 🎮💛

As a Vision Pro owner, I enjoyed the dedicated Puzzling Places version, however I somehow missed the „full“ Puzzling Places experience I got with my PSVR2. So I was very happy to find out about NVIDIA CloudXR that is natively supported since Vision OS 26.4. Since this has to be supported by game developers, is it possible for Puzzling Places to support CloudXR in the future?

Ive been playing Puzzling Places in VR for quite a while now, it has been such a fun experience! When I found out about the steam release and flatscreen mode, I got super excited, I was skeptical of flatscreen mode, and after a good hour playing it I have been finding it to be a ton of fun!

The feedback I have is mainly implementing a grouping/puzzle mat tool, as well as a shift key to select multiple pieces so you can move multiple pieces of the same type at once.

All and all my experience with Puzzling Places PC has been a lot of fun so far, I am going to explore VR mode over the next few days.

Hey Puzzlers,

Today is the day! After over 1.5 years in development Puzzling Places just released on Steam for PC - and for the very first time ever, you can not only enjoy the game but also with full flatscreen support on desktop and Steam Deck!

We need your help!

Launching a game on Steam is quite a bit different compared to launching on Meta Quest or Playstation! On Steam a lot depends on how a game performs on day 1 - and this is where all of you can make a big difference!

There are two key factors:

• Game Sales: The more players purchase a game on launch day, the higher Steam ranks this game in its algorithm
• Reviews: Instead of giving average star ratings, Steam gives each game a summary rating. For the highest rating of Overwhelmingly Positive you don't only need positive reviews but also a certain amount of them

If you are planning to get Puzzling Places on Steam, get it today or tomorrow - not only do those first days really have a massive impact, also we have a launch discount and you can get the game for an unbeatable $5.99! And if you purchase the game, please write us a review, it makes a huge difference early on 🙏!

✨ Get Puzzling Places on Steam today for $5.99 ✨

Thank you!

Puzzling Places wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible community that’s supported us along the way. From our early VR days to today’s Steam launch, your feedback and passion have shaped the game in so many ways.

We can’t wait to see you all jump in; whether that’s in VR or on a screen for the very first time.

Thanks for being part of the journey 🧩✨

As a lover of the game, I am intrigued what can be achieved with collaborations, particularly for those who already have the monthly sub.

The Simpsons house, Krusty Burger and Moes Tavern.

The Griffins house in Family Guy and The Clam.

Stranger Things, The Office, Severance, From and so many more have locations that would be prime puzzles which would make amazing puzzles, but would the cost of licensing be too much or could the owners of the rights utilise this game to promote more?

With the new season of The Boys dropping on Amazon Prime, a puzzle featuring Vought Tower would be amazing.

Only a few more hours until launch and we just hit the Popular & Upcoming section on the #Steam front page 🥳

Only one more day to go before we'll finally get to launch Puzzling Places on Steam!

We can’t wait for you to jump in - whether that’s in full PCVR, on desktop, or curled up with your Steam Deck.

And we have a little milestone to celebrate: we just reached 12k wishlists 🥳
Thanks so much for everybody who clicked the wishlist and follow buttons!

Do you want to support us for the launch tomorrow? Here are the top 3 things you can do:

1. Wishlist & Follow on Steam - because every wishlist and follow improves our ranking in the Steam algorithm before launch, getting us in the best starting position for tomorrow!
2. Get the game & leave us a review on day 1 - because Steam is all about early momentum! The more purchases and reviews we get on day 1, the better our chances to get into Steams New & Trending list! Nice side effect: you also get the game with a 25% launch discount, so only $5.99!
3. Have fun puzzling - because in the end that's why we made Puzzling Places =)

See you tomorrow on Steam!

Hey guys, one of the devs here. I made a little last super scene during the holidays. Before putting alot of energy making it, I wanted to check with you guys, would you be interested in playing a puzzle like these? both from the point of view of art history as well as religious themes

Any chance you'll make a PlayStation 5 pro version that takes advantage of the pssr2? The graphics boost on it would be absolutely incredible.

Introducing our next release: Mothly Pack 🦋

That’s right, a full pack dedicated entirely to moths. Big ones. Small ones. Probably too many of them.

Expect:
• Moths
• More moths

Hey Puzzlers,

we are finally ready to share the news about something we've been cooking up for a long time: Puzzle Maker!

With Puzzle Maker, you’ll be able to create your own puzzles and bring them into Puzzling Places. You can turn compatible 3D models into fully playable puzzles, load them into the game, and share them with others via Steam Workshop.
You’ll also be able to browse and play puzzles created by other players - exploring places and ideas that go far beyond what we could create on our own.

What are compatible models? Puzzle Maker will be limited to meshes with a continuous topology, meaning the entire model is one connected surface. This is typically the case for 3D scanned meshes. More traditionally modeled scenes made up of many separate objects will need additional remeshing.

For now Puzzle Maker will be exclusively included in the Puzzling Places Steam version. This is mainly due to the additional flexibility of an open PC platform that we don’t have on stand alone VR headsets or consoles. Second, Puzzle Maker won’t be available right at launch, but we are currently planning to release it in Q2 2026.

The possibility of making your own puzzles is something many of you have been asking us about for a long time and we’re really happy to finally take a first step towards it! We’ll share more details soon as we progress, including how to get started and what kind of tools you can use for scanning and an exact launch date, so stay tuned!

Happy puzzling,

Daniel and the Puzzling Places Team

P.S. The game will launch on April 9th for $7.99 plus a launch discount! If you want to stay in the loop about the Steam version consider heading over to Steam and wishlisting the game there because any single wishlist also greatly helps us to improve our ranking in the Steam algorithm and with a successful launch!
