We welcome you to Puzlkind, an intentionally ad-free, art-filled, and inclusive space where you can puzzle and talk with friends, family, peeps, and puzzle pals!

WHY?

Created in response to multiple pandemics, Michael Ferrier and Sarah Jane Lapp developed this app to encourage well-being, promote equity and inclusion, and connect via co-creation. 

WHAT?

Multiplayer artisan puzzles with voice chat; 3D physics; piece rotation; auto-sort by color, edge, and section; piece count from 12 to 2000.

Participants choose acoustic amusements, mat colors, piece count, and, of course, puzzle image. Initial library of forty original puzzle designs from twenty years of painting – very personal, sometimes political, and often involving goats. They’re showcased by UX wizard, Ruth Chung, and 3D code wrangler, Michael Ferrier (founder of Puzzle Together).  App is translated into a dozen  languages.
