Jagae Puzzle
Korean Beauty, Piece by Piece
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
From the Moon Rabbit to the Magpie and Tiger, set mother-of-pearl piece by piece and watch Korean beauty glow. No score, no timer. Take your time making art of your own.
A quiet puzzle inspired by najeon, the Korean art of inlaying mother-of-pearl into lacquer.
There are no scores or timers. Look at each piece’s shape and pattern to find where it belongs. Bring it close to the right spot and it settles into place. If you get stuck, Hint lights up the spot for the next piece you pick up.
Place the last piece and the mother-of-pearl begins to shimmer. Tilt your device to watch the light move across the design.
■ Art with Korean charm
Explore the Moon Rabbit, Hahoe Masks and Fans, the Magpie and Tiger, the Sun, Moon and Five Peaks, Chaekgado, the Goguryeo Hunting Scene, the Ten Symbols of Longevity, and Unhak. Five difficulty levels range from 10-piece puzzles to works of more than 200 pieces. New designs keep coming.
■ Pieces shaped by the inlay
The pieces follow the dark seams between the inlaid pieces of shell, so each one carries part of the design.
■ Large works, section by section
For a larger work, choose a section such as the phoenix or the clouds to see only its pieces. Pinch to zoom in on the smaller ones.
■ Hang your finished work at home
Hang a finished work like a framed picture on a real wall in AR. Give the room a name, and the frame reappears where you left it when you scan the room again. The spatial information used to find the room stays on your device.
■ Pick up where you left off
Your progress is saved each time you place a piece. Open the app again to continue from where you stopped.
■ No ads or account
The app collects no personal data. Some designs are free from the start. You can buy others individually or in themed collections such as Four Seasons and Things That Live Long.
Available in English, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, and Spanish on iPhone and iPad.

• Pieces now snap into place. Bring one close and its spot pulls it in, with a crisp click as you let go.
• The piece you pick up now floats above your fingertip, so your finger no longer hides it.
• Updated the background music to bring out more of a gugak (traditional Korean music) feel.
• Fixed a crash when closing AR after hanging a work.
