Puzzling Places, an app available on Meta Quest headsets, features hundreds of 3D puzzles. Imagine putting together models of some of the world’s most iconic scenes from art, literature, and history. The level of detail is amazing. Experiencing it in virtual reality is a truly immersive experience for your senses. Since purchasing this game, I’ve tackled some incredible puzzles, including Buddhist temples, a canyon in Zion National Park, and, most recently, a spice cart in Turkey. If you enjoy jigsaw puzzles but haven’t yet tried one in VR, you’re truly missing out!
Next Level for Puzzle Lovers
Puzzling Places is a highly rated VR puzzle game. The app is a fun and relaxing way to unwind at the end of a busy day. The graphic details are amazing. I can’t help but take a moment to admire the finished model after I complete it.
I love sharing my Meta headset with friends and neighbors, and Puzzling Places is usually the first game I let them try. The controls are simple, and there are different difficulty levels to pick from. It’s also a multi-player game, so you can enjoy puzzling with your friends.
Meta released their 3S model in October, and it’s been listed at this price ever since. I don’t imagine the price will stay this low forever, so I’d recommend taking advantage of this sale now, before prices go up. Just click on the ad to find it on Amazon.
Wide Variety of Models
The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, featured in the graphic above, was one of my first puzzles. It’s a location my husband and I visited during our honeymoon. I have also worked on puzzles of the Lviv National Opera House in Ukraine. I have done a clock tower in Turkey. I have created a puzzle of Ambrose Dudley’s Tomb in England. I have also worked on an elegant Japanese kimono, among others.
Full Sensory Experience
Turning each 3D puzzle piece in your hand allows you to examine it from every angle. When you successfully connect two pieces, you can feel the satisfying vibration as they join together. The app also improves your experience with background sounds. You can hear people chatting in a marketplace or the wind blowing through the red rock canyons of Zion National Park. Additionally, the eerie music track for the scene from Bram Stoker’s Dracula adds an atmospheric touch to the puzzle.
