Do I need an account to play?

You should be able to jump straight into a puzzle, and on Puzzle.now you can. An account is a bonus, never a barrier.

Quick answer: No, you can play every puzzle without an account. Just open a game and start. Signing in is optional and only matters if you want to save your stats across devices, appear on leaderboards, or join online multiplayer matches.

Play instantly, no sign-up

Open the Slide Puzzle or any other game and it starts right away. There is no form to fill out, no email to confirm, and nothing to install before your first move. The fastest path to a puzzle is simply clicking play.

When an account helps

Signing in becomes useful once you want your progress to follow you. It lets your times and streaks sync across devices, puts you on the leaderboards, and is required to enter online multiplayer matches against real people.

Your choice, always

If you just want a quiet solo game, you never have to create anything. You can play for years as a guest. The account is there the day you decide you want saved stats or a spot on the board, and not a moment before.

How are my stats saved?

When you are signed in, your best times, streaks and completed puzzles save to your account and sync across devices. As a guest, recent stats stay only in the browser you used, so they can be lost if you clear your data or switch devices.

Is Puzzle.now free?

Yes, Puzzle.now is completely free. Every puzzle, the daily challenge, leaderboards and online multiplayer are all free to play. There is no trial, no paid tier and no charge to unlock any game.

How does multiplayer puzzle work?

Multiplayer pits you against another player on the very same puzzle at the same time. You both start together, race to solve first, and see the result live. Join from the lobby, get matched, and the fastest solver takes the round.
