Pixzle — Turning Reddit Posts into Playable Puzzles

Inspiration

I’ve spent the last few years building Pixzle as an iOS mobile puzzle game. I love the idea of turning ordinary images into quick little interactive challenges.

As a mobile developer of over 15 years, and a dad with 1000’s of pictures on my phone (and two kids that love doing puzzles), I built Pixzle as a way to teach my kiddos a little bit about programming and also to give them something fun to do on long car rides.

When I saw the Reddit Daily Games Hackathon I immediately thought, Oh man I could totally make Pixzle for Reddit since Devvit supports React! I had always wanted to rewrite Pixzle in a different language and platform, and this hackathon gave me the reason.

What It Does

Pixzle transforms Reddit image posts into interactive sliding puzzles…

In a world where we scroll past photos in seconds, Pixzle brings presence and play back into artwork and memories.

Whether it's a sunset, a pet’s silly face, or your child’s latest masterpiece — solving a Pixzle means spending real time with the details you love: the curve of a smile, the way shadows fall, the textures and colors in the background of a landscape.
