Pusle is a little hedgehog whose spines are jigsaw pieces. She shakes them off, your child puts them together, and there it is: the cow wakes up, moos and turns into a collector card. 80 animals to wake up, 320 cards to collect. The puzzles start at two pieces and end at 63.
iPad · iPadOS 17 or later · Free to tryIn English, Swedish, Danish, German and NorwegianThree kinds of puzzle in one app
From two pieces to 63. The same app for years and years.
The easiestPeg puzzle
Whole animals, each in its own hole in a wooden board, like a first puzzle at home. Two to six animals.
In betweenThe animal
The animal is cut into two to five big pieces that your child puts together.
The biggestThe scene
The animal where it lives, as an ordinary jigsaw. Every size is here: 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 35, 48 or 63 pieces.
A big treasure chest of puzzles
…and a great many cards to collect afterwards
1Puzzle away
Pusle shakes off her spines, and your child puts them together. When the last piece is in place, the outline disappears and the animal celebrates with your child.
2Collect animals
80 different animals, and every one has its own trick. The pig sneezes so hard that a piece pops off Pusle. The sheep’s wool puffs up like a cloud. The children grin every time.
3Collect cards
Every animal turns into a collector card that flies straight into the album. Four editions of every animal, 320 cards in all. The last one is always gold.
Remember your football cards?
Or the cards you kept in a shoebox?
Here your child gets a collection of their own. 320 cards, four of each animal, each with a name and one line to read aloud. It is the only text in the whole app, and it is there for you, so the two of you can laugh out loud when your child shows you all the cards and you read what the animals are called and what they get up to.
More pieces, better cards
The gold card takes a bit of work. Worth it.
You choose up to four puzzles for each child. The easiest earns the plain card. The hardest earns gold. If your child wants Queen Clara the Golden, they will have to try the puzzle with the most pieces.

Collect them all, big and small
The album has room for all 320 cards. Quite a book.
The album sits on a tree stump and has a spread for each world. The cards your child has can be lifted out and tilted with a finger. The ones still missing show as an outline. Tap the outline, and the album shows which puzzle earns the card. Tap again, and your child is off.
No points. No percentages.
Just plain old collecting.
Rock-a-bye puzzle.
A jigsaw that never takes over the kitchen table.
Pusle is calm on purpose. No error sounds. Nothing flashing red. No ticking clock. If it goes quiet for a while, Pusle points to a piece, and its spot glows softly. A hint, not a nag. And it is fine to take a break. Put the iPad away, and the kitchen table still has room for dinner, with no half-finished puzzle in the way.
Eight worlds, 80 animals
Ten in each. And Pusle dresses for the weather.

Pusle the hedgehog
Pusle is small and round, with spines made of jigsaw pieces. She shakes them loose when a puzzle begins, gives hints and points when your child is stuck, cheers when the animal wakes up, and falls asleep when nobody is playing with her.
Why a hedgehog?
Because hedgehogs are the sweetest animals, and seriously good at puzzles. It’s true. We asked a zoologist.
For the grown-ups
You set it up. Your child decides the rest.
Behind the parental gate (hold the ring for one second, answer a multiplication question):
Choose the kinds of puzzle for your child
Up to four kinds for each child, so they get a bit of variety. The two-year-old can have the peg puzzle. The six-year-old can have 63 pieces and a proper challenge.
See how your child is getting on
One page of statistics per child: how many cards your child has collected, which puzzles they choose most often, and how it is going in each world. So you know when it is time for the next challenge.
Up to six children on the same iPad, each with their own name, colour and album. So you don’t have to buy more iPads.
Sound on or off. So you can keep your cool by turning the sounds off in hour three of the car journey.

Why we made Pusle
Our youngest is almost four and loves puzzles and animals. Pusle is made so she can do everything with one finger, without reading, and finish a puzzle before dinner is ready.
The collector cards came about because a finished puzzle deserves more than a star. A card is something you can look at again, read aloud and show to mum and dad.
Made for two girls aged five and three. Perhaps it suits yours too.
Your questions
- How old should my child be?
- From about two with the peg puzzle, and up to seven or eight with 63 pieces. You choose the puzzles for each child.
- Does my child need to read?
- No. The only words are the name and the line on the collector cards, and those are for you, so you can read them out and laugh together.
- What happens when a piece lands in the wrong place?
- It glides back. No sound, nothing red.
- Can the pieces be turned?
- No, they are always the right way up. Your child thinks about where the piece goes, not how to turn it. We tried adding turning, but it made the app far too complicated for the children, so that is better learnt with real puzzles.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Everything is on the iPad, so it works on a plane too.
- Which languages is Pusle in?
- English, Swedish, Danish, German and Norwegian, cards included. Pusle follows the iPad’s language, and uses English for any other language.
- Can siblings use the same iPad?
- Yes, up to six children, each with their own album and their own puzzles.
- Is there an iPhone version?
- No, iPad only. A jigsaw needs room for a whole hand.
- What does it actually cost?
- Nothing to try. One purchase unlocks all the animals, and the price is shown in the App Store. Nothing more after that, ever.
- Will there be more animals?
- We’re not promising anything, but if there’s an animal your child misses, we’d love to hear about it.
