Shadepix
Nonogram Picture Cross
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A new daily puzzle for the whole world every day, 330 hand-drawn pictures to reveal, and Game Center medals to earn. No ads, no account, fully offline.
Fill the squares, reveal the picture.
Shadepix is a classic nonogram (picross) game with a calm dark board, one-finger drag painting, and pictures worth finishing. Every number tells you the length of a run of filled squares — read the clues, mark what must stay empty, and a hidden pixel picture appears.
A DAILY PUZZLE FOR EVERYONE
One puzzle a day, the same board for every player in the world, generated from the calendar date itself — no server required. The daily is how you earn diamonds: it pays more for every consecutive day, and every seventh day of a streak refills your energy for free.
330 HAND-DRAWN PICTURES
Ten picture packs — Starter, Animals, Everyday Icons, Food, Space, Music, Vehicles, Sports, Nature and Weather — plus five advanced packs: Landmarks, Dinosaurs, Mythical Creatures, Deep Sea and Retro Tech, where one giant 20x20 picture is solved as four boards in a row.
STAGES, ONE PICTURE AT A TIME
Every pack is a 30-stage journey: clear a stage to open the next. Boards grow from quick 5x5 warm-ups to 15x15, and the advanced packs push to 20x20 — pinch to zoom on the big ones.
MISTAKES CANNOT RUIN THE PICTURE
A wrongly filled square is corrected to an × for you, so the picture never comes out wrong. But three mistakes end the board: continue for 60 diamonds, or start over for free.
MEDALS AND LEADERBOARDS
Bronze, silver and gold medals for pictures solved, packs completed, daily streaks and flawless clears — earned as Game Center achievements, with worldwide leaderboards for pictures solved and best streak.
ENERGY INSTEAD OF ADS
Starting a puzzle costs 1 energy from a bar of 5, and the bar refills on its own, one point every 15 minutes. The Daily never costs energy, and replaying a picture you have already solved is free. If you would rather not wait, a full refill costs 100 diamonds.
BUILT TO BE PLEASANT
- Drag across a row or column to fill several squares at once
- Haptic feedback you can switch off
- Works completely offline, on a plane or underground
- Fully localized in 30 languages
NO ADS. EVER.
No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video, no account, no tracking. Diamonds come from the daily puzzle, and optional diamond packs exist only if you want hints, unlocks or a refill sooner.
