Trailer

One minute of Hearthpiece

The assists, the sorting trays, 1000 pieces on one table and the moment the last piece clicks in – captured straight from the game.

What's inside

Everything a cozy puzzle needs

Pick, start, unwind. Hearthpiece is as relaxed or as tricky as you like:

From 24 to 1000 pieces

Nine steps: 24, 40, 60, 96, 140, 216, 300, 600 and 1000 pieces. The same picture can be twenty quiet minutes or a whole evening.

56 pictures, seven categories

Busy Scenes, Cozy Rooms, Fantasy Places, Seasons & Festivals, Animals, Streets & Alleys and Retro & Nostalgia – every picture playable at all nine sizes.

Trays you name yourself

Drop pieces into trays along the bottom edge: sky, rooftops, whatever you want to come back to later. Every tray gets the name you give it.

A table without edges

Unlimited surface, stepless zoom down to a single seam. Oak, Painted Metal, Brushed Steel or any solid colour you like.

Assists your way

Rotate pieces, edge hints, solution outlines and color on placement – every assist switches on and off on its own. No time limits, nothing to fail.

Daily Puzzle & badges

A new puzzle every day, with its own best time and a streak that keeps count. Plus levels, 16 achievements and badges – easy to ignore if that's not your thing.

A closer look

From the first piece to the finished picture

How Hearthpiece plays – from an empty table to the moment the last piece clicks into place.

Puzzling on a table without edges

Push pieces wherever you need them: sort them, stack them, spread them out. The reference card shows you the picture, and the zoom goes steplessly from the whole table down to a single seam. Your progress saves after every piece you place.

  • Unlimited table surface
  • Stepless zoom
  • Saves after every piece
  • Mouse, touch and rebindable shortcuts

02

Up to 1000 pieces

Every picture comes in nine sizes. At 1000 pieces the table fills up – so freehand selection lets you gather a whole pile at once and drop it into a tray you named yourself.

  • Nine sizes from 24 to 1000 pieces
  • Every picture at every size
  • Freehand selection for whole piles
  • Sorting trays with your own names

03

Your difficulty, your assists

Rotate pieces when it gets too easy. Edge hints and solution outlines when you want it calmer. With color on placement, loose pieces stay line art until they fit. Every assist switches on or off on its own.

  • Optional piece rotation
  • Edge hints show what fits
  • Solution outlines on the table
  • Color on placement

Pictures you earn

In the gallery, pictures you haven't solved yet stay out of focus. Only when you finish one does it sharpen – and then you can stay with it for a round of Seek and find.

  • Gallery with blurred, unsolved pictures
  • Seek and find in the finished picture
  • Daily Puzzle with best time and streak
  • Levels, 16 achievements and badges

Impressions

Optional add-on

Your Own Photos: puzzle your own pictures

A holiday by the sea or your pet's familiar face: the “Your Own Photos” DLC turns your own pictures into puzzles. It is the only purchase in the game – Hearthpiece itself stays completely free.

  • Import photos and choose a 16:9 crop
  • Nine sizes from 24 to 1000 pieces
  • Keep up to 100 of your own pictures
  • Piece rotation, edge hints and named sorting trays

The photos shown illustrate the feature and are not included as a picture pack. Seek and find is not available for your own photos.

FAQ

What does Hearthpiece cost?

Nothing. The whole game with all 56 pictures is free – no ads, no subscription, no energy bars. The only purchase is the optional “Your Own Photos” DLC for puzzling your own pictures.

Where can I play Hearthpiece?

On Steam for Windows, since September 14, 2026. You need a mouse or a touchscreen; controllers are not supported.

Do I need an internet connection?

No, Hearthpiece is fully playable offline. Your progress saves after every piece you place – next time you start, everything is right where you left it.

Which languages does the game support?

Eight: English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

Will it run on my PC?

Most likely: Windows 10 (64-bit), a 2 GHz dual-core processor and Vulkan 1.0 capable graphics. Without Vulkan the game falls back to OpenGL 3.3 automatically, and integrated graphics are enough.
