Royal Art: Puzzle Game is a free app built around image puzzles. The player must piece together all components to make a fantasy scene, usually with characters from a famous fairy tale. This is not quite the same as a traditional jigsaw puzzle. The effect is more like a sticker book, with details that go on top of backgrounds.

The game is similar in spirit to Circle Relax: Daily Art Puzzle and Art Master 2: Art Puzzle Game. Like those titles, it is accessible to children but also appropriate for adults who want to enjoy a relaxing gameplay experience.

Complete the picture

Royal Art: Puzzle Game opens by showing you an incomplete picture. Your job as the player is to drag objects from a menu into the frame and then complete the picture bit by bit.

Add the objects in the right order

Although it will usually be easy to work out which objects or characters go in which parts of the frame, the game has a twist in that the images need to be added in order.

A few vague lines onscreen will give you a hint as to which objects need to be added next, but beyond these, the process will be down to guesswork.

Fantasy artwork

The pictures used in Royal Art: Puzzle Game depict fantasy or fairy tale scenes in a style that's reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's anime. Some designs are based on traditional stories like Cinderella or Snow White, while others are clearly inspired by modern fantasies like Netflix's Wednesday. The images should appeal to both children and whimsical adults.

A relaxing experience

If you happen to get stuck, the game allows you to obtain a hint by watching an advert. In practice, however, you are unlikely to need this feature. Royal Art: Puzzle Game is more relaxing than tricky, with calming music played throughout and various serene settings depicted in the artwork.
