Hi everyone! Since launch, we’ve been working hard on a substantial update to Puzzles of the World. Inspired by your feedback, update 1.10 introduces new ways to play and improvements to how every build looks and feels.
Build in Your Own Space
Mixed reality lets you assemble your favorite wooden puzzles with your real surroundings in view. Choose Passthrough from the location menu when selecting a puzzle, and you’re ready to build!
A Sharper, More Flexible Main Menu
Our revamped menu rendering makes everything crisper and easier to read. Reposition the main menu wherever it feels comfortable. You can even grab and shake the 3D puzzle boxes while choosing your next build!
Smoother Building and Exploration
Enjoy improved performance across all locations and puzzles, with smoother exploration, table movement, and piece appearance. Improvements to hand tracking make interactions steadier, too.
More Detail in Every Piece
Improved textures, clearer outlines, and the burnt edges of laser-cut wood bring out the character of each model, from the smallest piece to the finished creation.
Clearer, More Satisfying Piece Placement
New visual feedback makes successful connections easier to recognize and more satisfying. Prefer to build without the placement hints? Enable Realistic Mode in Settings.
Progress Saved, Piece by Piece
A new autosave system replaces the previous checkpoints, saving your progress after every successful piece placement. Whether you stop after a few pieces or settle in for a longer session, you can return to the progress you’ve made.
A Finish Worth Celebrating
There’s something special about placing that final piece and seeing your creation complete. Now, environmental fireworks add a little celebration to the moment. Take a step back, admire what you’ve built, and enjoy the show.
Updated Under the Hood
We’ve upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.8 and updated the Meta SDKs, alongside improvements to OpenXR compatibility.
Thank you for building, exploring, and sharing your feedback with us. We’re excited for you to experience update 1.10 and look forward to hearing what you think!
