Overview

Lisa's Tapistry is a cozy, mobile-first tap-away puzzle game. Every level is a grid of little arrow tiles laid over a hidden picture stitched from colored beads. Tap a tile when the path ahead of its arrow is clear and it slides off the board, uncovering the piece of the mosaic underneath. Clear them all, in the right order, and the whole picture appears.

The tagline says the rest: "Tap the path clear. Reveal something wonderful."

The one rule​

Each tile points up, down, left, or right. A tile can leave only when nothing stands between it and the edge of the board in the direction it points. Tap a tile with a clear path and it flies away; tap a blocked one and it just gives a gentle wiggle and stays put. The whole game is reading the board and deciding what to clear first. How to Play walks through it.

Twelve levels, three collections​

The levels are grouped into three collections that build on each other:

  • Lisa's Little Garden eases you in with small, friendly boards.
  • Lisa's Cozy Corner turns up the thinking with tighter tangles.
  • Lisa's Wonder Cabinet brings the big mosaics, and its own twist: in these challenge levels a blocked tap costs a heart.

Every level is hand-made and checked to be solvable without spending a single booster. More in Gameplay.

Boosters and hearts​

Three boosters are there for when you are stuck: Thread Hint points out a tile you can clear, Spool Sweep clears one for you, and Needle Turn rotates a stuck tile toward a clear path. Hearts only ever matter in the Wonder Cabinet challenges, and the game explains that rule before it can cost you anything.

The look​

Lisa's Tapistry has a warm craft-table feel: soft cream backgrounds, berry and coral and teal and gold, rounded tiles with a little depth, and stitched dashed edges. The pictures underneath are tiny bead-art mosaics of cozy things, flowers, a teacup, a butterfly, a bluebird, a lantern. It is meant to feel like clearing a workspace to find something someone made by hand.

Made to be comfortable​

The game is built mobile-first and plays with a touch, but it also works fully from the keyboard, offers reduced-motion and high-contrast options, and never needs sound to be understood. It installs as an app and works offline. See Tips and the FAQ for the practical details.
