The mystery picture

Players see it only piece by piece, so pick one that is fun to guess: a place, a painting, an animal, a famous moment.

Pieces

9 pieces, each one a question or a code to write

Cut style

What opens each piece

Example

Every piece is locked behind a question or a code players have to find. Each piece they open shows a little more of the picture.

Choose your own picture and it replaces this example, cut into pieces ready to lock.

How this generator works

Make your first mystery picture

  1. Choose the picture

    • Pick the picture players will uncover.
    • Upload one, pick a free one, or paste a link.

  2. Set the pieces

    • Choose how many pieces and how they are cut.
    • Every piece is one code or question to write.

  3. Lock every piece

    • Click a piece and give it a question, or a code players have to find somewhere else.

  4. Share it

    • Players unlock the pieces one by one until the whole picture shows.

Share it online

One link or QR code opens the mystery picture in any browser, with no player accounts. A mystery picture cannot be printed: on paper it would just be the picture.

Save your activity first

Free to build, free to play. No account needed to try it. A free account saves your mystery picture and covers 60 player sessions a month. One session is one player opening one activity.

What this maker can do

No peeking Every piece is locked until a player earns it, so the picture cannot be read out of the page's code.
