What it is

Moving Picture Puzzle is a calm puzzle game. The screen shows a live animation (fireflies, rain, aurora, waves, and more) split into tiles that are out of order. The player taps two tiles to swap them until the animation looks whole again.

• No reading is required to play.
• It is a game, not a medical or therapy product.
• Works offline after install.

How to play (30 seconds)

1. Choose a puzzle from the menu. Start with Beginner (3×3) for younger children.
2. Tap one tile, then another — they swap.
3. Keep swapping until the motion lines up. A small hint can show what the solved picture should look like.
4. When finished, the app may show a short cheer or message (you can turn this off).

Settings worth knowing

Find these on the menu and play screens (scroll if needed on small phones).

General

Setting	Default	What it does
Celebrations	On	Short sound and confetti when a puzzle is solved
Reduce motion	Follows device	Softer movement; no confetti when on
Zen mode	Off	Hides timers and ranking text — play without time pressure

Calm session recipe: Beginner puzzle + Zen mode on + Reduce motion on. Turn Celebrations off if sound or confetti is too much. Or tap Calm visual preset (see below).

Vision (menu → Vision group)

All vision options are off by default. The puzzle looks normal until you turn them on. Settings are saved on the device.

Setting	When to use it
High contrast	Menus and puzzle framing are easier to read in bright light or if text/lines feel faint
Bold tile borders	Harder to lose track of tile edges on busy animations (especially Hard 8×8)
Reference: tap to expand	Player can open a larger view of the solved picture while playing (helpful for low vision)
Color-safe palette	Colors that are easier to tell apart for many types of color blindness (animated puzzles recolor; your own JPEG photos keep their original colors)
Tile texture cues	Faint line or dot pattern on each tile so pieces can be told apart without relying on color — can make edge-matching harder on busy Hard grids; try shape marks or color-safe first
Shape selection marks	Selected tiles and swaps use corners and shapes instead of yellow/red fills

One-tap presets (same menu):

Preset	Turns on
Low vision preset	High contrast, bold borders, large reference, tile texture cues, shape selection marks
Color-blind safe preset	Color-safe palette, bold borders, tile texture cues, shape selection marks
Calm visual preset	Reduce motion, celebrations off

Suggested starting points:

• Low vision or small screen: Low vision preset, then Beginner or Standard grid before Hard 8×8.
• Color blindness: Color-blind safe preset; add Reference: tap to expand if they still get stuck.
• Overwhelmed by motion or fanfare: Calm visual preset + Zen mode.
• Hard 8×8 and they solve by lining up edges: Try bold borders and color-safe without tile texture cues, or turn texture cues off if seams are hard to see.

Note: On Hard (8×8) with vision assists on, tiles that are already in the correct place may show a subtle outline all the time (not only after Hint). That is intentional for accessibility; it can feel like a spoiler during auto-solve — turn vision assists off if you want a “clean” board for demonstrations.

Good puzzles to start with

Gentle, predictable motion:

• Fireflies (Beginner)
• Bubbles (Beginner)
• Snowfall (Beginner)
• Ripples (Beginner)

Photo puzzles and Create (your own picture) can feel familiar and comforting.

---

Use caution with

Lightning puzzles include bright screen flashes. The menu shows: “Contains screen flashes.”

Skip or preview first if your child is:

• Young and easily startled
• Photosensitive or prone to migraines
• Uncomfortable with storm imagery

---

Photos & privacy

• Your photo and Create use pictures from the device gallery.
• Treat as on-device play unless your privacy policy states otherwise at launch.
• No account is required for core play (confirm for your build before sharing this sheet).

---

What children practice

• Looking carefully — matching edges and motion across tiles
• Patience — trying swaps without a ticking clock (especially in Zen mode)
• Confidence — hints and friendly messages when they finish

---

For neurodivergent children

Many families use:

• Zen mode — less pressure from times and leaderboards
• Reduce motion — less intense animation and no confetti
• Celebrations off — solve without extra sound or visuals
• Calm visual preset — reduce motion + no celebrations in one tap

Adjust to the child in front of you; there is no single “correct” setup.

---

For low vision or color blindness

• Vision options are optional and reversible — default play is unchanged.
• Hints still work: a small reference image and friendly copy; Reference: tap to expand makes that image easier to use.
• Photo puzzles and Create (your picture) do not recolor the photo itself; overlays and tile cues are drawn on top for matching help.
• If a child relies on spotting mismatched edges between tiles, avoid tile texture cues on Hard grids or switch to a smaller grid.

Quick troubleshooting

Situation	Try
Too hard	Smaller Beginner grid; use hint; try Low vision or Color-blind safe preset
Too stimulating	Calm visual preset; avoid Lightning
Child upset by timer	Zen mode on
Doesn’t want fanfare	Celebrations off
Can’t tell tiles apart	Color-blind safe or bold borders; Reference: tap to expand
Colors blur together	Color-safe palette on
Can’t see grid lines	Bold tile borders on
Edges hard to match with cues on	Turn tile texture cues off; keep shape selection marks or bold borders
