We all love playing games. And some of us love puzzles more than other games.

This suggestion is to create a game in the game center that allows us to play puzzles - working with the puzzles we already have.

When you complete a puzzle here (ie, get all the pieces), you will unlock that image as a puzzle you can play/solve in the game center for a small amount of game coins.

The puzzles will be in some tiers like the concentration game - easy, medium, hard, advanced, and expert.

Level Breakdowns:
Show hidden content

The easy puzzle will be 24 (4x6) pieces - the 24 we already see/have

Medium will be 35 (5x7) pieces

Hard will be 48(6x8 ) pieces

Advanced is 80 (8x10) pieces

Expert is 99 (9x11) pieces

(This is because I'm following the laws of grids, like the grid the puzzle pieces already follow. These puzzles will be more challenging without their unique shapes - but since there are a small amount of images, it also allows us to get to know the art better)


Like the concentration game and treasure hunt, the puzzle will also have a cooldown timer - five minutes(?)

Game Mechanics:

Show hidden content

The "pieces" will surround an empty grid. You can drag any of the pieces to any of the grid tiles, and it stays in place until you move it (or solve the puzzle)

The pieces are all going to be square or "tile" shaped because it is easier this way, you are just cutting the pieces once, into the square shapes, and it is easier to lock squares together coding wise.

Actual puzzle piece shapes would be to riako's discretion

(There will be a cancel option in the upper right corner if the puzzle is too hard / etc. If you cancel, you still have to wait for the cooldown)


The prizes will be in game chips and (optional) daily item prizes.

Game Chip Prizes:
Show hidden content

Easy: 0-500 game chips

Medium: 500 - 1,500 game chips

Hard: 1,500-5,000 game chips

Advanced: 5,000-10,000 game chips

Expert: 10,000-20,000 game chips

---
OPTIONAL: Additional Prizes?

AND, like the concentration game, a daily prize of some sort would be really nice! (but is an optional add-on to the suggestion)

Clarification: by daily prize, you can only win the prize once per day. But you can win the prize from every tier each day. (You can win the easy prize, advanced prize, and hard prize for example)

The chances of winning the prize after completing are going to be around 2-5%, with higher chances the faster your time

TIERED DAILY PRIZES:
Easy - some berries
Medium - random box/key
Hard - Random battle item
Advanced - Some Gems (4-9?)
Expert - An evolution stone (including mega stone - same selection as treasure hunt)

Dunno about all the prizes and stuff, but a puzzle game would be fun.

Not too keen on the who have to complete puzzle before you can play thing, but that would be up to Raiko

I put that because it gives the puzzles we collect a purpose that's fun

And in order to play with a puzzle irl, you need all the pieces :D

Support. I'm keen on new games in the game center. I like puzzles. Personally I like the puzzles being unlocked only once completed but that'd be unnecessary gatekeeping to new players so no support on that. Unless you'd have to unlock the puzzle to play it for the daily reward. That could be neat but still blocking out new players. I remember vaguely how long it took to complete the first puzzle.

I definitely like the daily reward idea but I don't like the idea of 0 game chips being possible and I don't think the rewards should be based on the amount of time to complete it. Time based games just don't spark joy and add unnecessary pressure. I think there's already a new similar mechanic for the Ultra Beasts now?

I would only leave the game center for the cool down. I have been wishing for jigsaw puzzles
