Puzzle Maker Announcement

Hey Puzzlers,

we are finally ready to share the news about something we've been cooking up for a long time: Puzzle Maker!

With Puzzle Maker, you’ll be able to create your own puzzles and bring them into Puzzling Places. You can turn compatible 3D models into fully playable puzzles, load them into the game, and share them with others via Steam Workshop.

You’ll also be able to browse and play puzzles created by other players - exploring places and ideas that go far beyond what we could create on our own.

What are compatible models? Puzzle Maker will be limited to meshes with a continuous topology, meaning the entire model is one connected surface. This is typically the case for 3D scanned meshes. More traditionally modeled scenes made up of many separate objects will need additional remeshing.

For now Puzzle Maker will be exclusively included in the Puzzling Places Steam version. This is mainly due to the additional flexibility of an open PC platform that we don’t have on stand alone VR headsets or consoles. Second, Puzzle Maker won’t be available right at launch, but we are currently planning to release it in Q2 2026.

The possibility of making your own puzzles is something many of you have been asking us about for a long time and we’re really happy to finally take a first step towards it! We’ll share more details soon as we progress, including how to get started and what kind of tools you can use for scanning and an exact launch date, so stay tuned!

Happy puzzling,

Daniel and the Puzzling Places Team

P.S. The game will launch on April 9th for $7.99 plus a launch discount! If you want to stay in the loop about the Steam version consider heading over to Steam and wishlisting the game there because any single wishlist also greatly helps us to improve our ranking in the Steam algorithm and with a successful launch!
