Questions about MIXAIC
What is MIXAIC?
MIXAIC is a free sliding picture puzzle game played in a web browser. Each board is an illustration cut into square tiles and shuffled, and the player slides the tiles until the picture is whole again. There are 312 puzzles across 26 worlds, each world drawn in its own art style.
Is MIXAIC free to play?
MIXAIC is free to play. Every puzzle in the campaign is included, there are no paid levels, and nothing has to be bought to finish the game. Coins earned by playing can be spent on optional extras like new faces, and none of them make a puzzle easier.
Do I need an account to play?
No account is needed. MIXAIC starts the moment the page opens — there is no sign-up form, no email address to give, and no password to remember. Progress is saved automatically to the browser it was played in.
What age is MIXAIC for?
MIXAIC is made for children of around four to ten, and it needs no reading: a puzzle is solved by looking and tapping, so a child who cannot yet read can finish a board unaided. Anyone can play it and enjoy it — the early worlds are gentle, and the later ones are genuinely difficult to finish with all three stars, which is why plenty of adults keep going.
How do you play a sliding picture puzzle?
A sliding picture puzzle shows a picture broken into square tiles that have been shuffled out of order. You move tiles one at a time to bring each one back to where it belongs. Unlike a jigsaw, the pieces are all the same shape and stay on a fixed grid, so the challenge is the order rather than the edges.
Can I play on more than one device?
Yes. Because progress is tied to the browser rather than an account, MIXAIC gives you a short code to carry an account to a second device: open "Play on another device" on the device that has your progress, then type the code into the new one. Both then play as the same player.
Does MIXAIC work without an internet connection?
MIXAIC needs a connection to load a puzzle and to save a finished board. Once a picture has loaded, a board in progress keeps working, but scores are recorded when the connection returns.
What data does MIXAIC collect about a child?
MIXAIC asks for nothing that identifies a child: no name, no email address, no age, and no photograph. It stores the puzzles played, the stars earned, the coins held, and a nickname if one is chosen. The full detail is on the privacy page.
What languages does MIXAIC support?
MIXAIC is available in English and Arabic, including a right-to-left layout for Arabic. The game itself needs almost no reading in either language.
How does the leaderboard work?
The MIXAIC leaderboard runs in weekly seasons and resets every Monday, so a player who joins late is never permanently behind. The top three finishers each week win coins, and first place wins a champion face that cannot be bought at any price. Replaying a puzzle you have already finished does not add to your score.
