About Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery
Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery puts you in the shoes of a janitor tasked with restoring a shattered puzzle museum after an earthquake. Over 5000 scattered pieces must be reassembled into nearly 200 jigsaw puzzles featuring public‑domain masterpieces from artists like Monet, Van Gogh, and Hokusai. The game offers both a relaxed, music‑filled experience and a speed‑run challenge, letting players choose how quickly they tidy the gallery.
Beyond the curated collection, a My Puzzles mode lets you upload up to 500 personal images and turn them into custom puzzles, supporting solo play or up to four players in online co‑op. Intuitive controls, visual aids, and skill upgrades help you solve each puzzle at your own pace.

Gallery Collection
The main gallery houses almost 200 paintings from more than 20 public‑domain artists, each rendered as a distinct jigsaw puzzle. Pieces vary in shape, subject, and size, providing visual variety throughout the space.
Players can listen to classical music while they work, and the game includes visual cues such as ghost previews on hover and shimmering lock‑in effects to guide placement.
- Use the ghost preview to locate the correct spot before moving a piece.
- Adjust the volume of the classical soundtrack for a calmer atmosphere.

Custom Puzzles (My Puzzles Mode)
My Puzzles mode lets you upload up to 500 images in common formats (png, jpg, webp, etc.) and convert them into puzzles of varying shapes and sizes. You can solve them one at a time or fill the entire gallery with your own curated selection.
This mode supports up to four players, allowing friends to cooperate on a personalized gallery of memes, artwork, or personal photos.
- Start with smaller custom puzzles to get used to the controls.
- Organize your uploaded images by theme for easier navigation.

- Disable upgrades in Black & White Mode for a purist experience.
