PathPix Max is puzzle gaming at its most zen. It’s essentially a cross between a word search and a paint-by-numbers, but with paths. Connecting the numbers to reveal a giant image is incredibly satisfying, especially on the larger boards that this 'Max' version provides.
It’s the perfect game for listening to a podcast or just winding down before bed. There’s no timer, no pressure, just pure logic. Some of the later puzzles are massive and can take hours to complete, giving you a real sense of accomplishment when you finally see the finished picture. The UI is simple and functional, staying out of the way of the puzzles themselves.
Dinsun here. PathPix is one of the few mobile series I actually respect because it doesn't try to be anything other than a solid puzzle. Max is the 'heavyweight' version. It’s not flashy—the UI looks like it was designed for Windows 95—but the logic is sound. Connecting the lines to slowly reveal a massive picture is genuinely satisfying in a way that modern 'match-3' games will never understand. It’s conservative, it’s focused, and it doesn't beg for my money every five minutes. The sheer scale of the puzzles in this version can be daunting, but if you like to sit down with a coffee and just *think*, this is as good as it gets on a tablet.
Performance: Handles large grids efficiently; pinch-to-zoom is smooth and responsive.
Buy if: You love Nonograms or Picross and want something on a much larger scale.
Skip if: You want flashy animations or quick, bite-sized levels.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

PathPix Max is the largest entry in the popular PathPix puzzle series. The goal is to connect pairs of colored numbers with paths of the same color, where the length of the path matches the numbers provided. As you fill the grid, a vibrant pixel-art image is gradually revealed. This 'Max' edition is designed specifically for large-screen devices, featuring massive puzzles with up to 2,000 paths. It offers a relaxing, non-timed experience that rewards logic and patience.
114 massive, high-quality puzzles
Simple, intuitive touch-and-drag controls
Vibrant pixel-art rewards for every puzzle
No timers or penalties for a stress-free experience
Pinch-to-zoom for precise path drawing on giant boards
Always start with the smallest numbers, like the 1s and 2s, as their paths are almost always certain. This helps define the borders of the image and gives you more clues for the larger, more complex paths in the center of the grid.
Information about the different versions and puzzles available.
If you get stuck, look for areas where only one color can possibly fit. The paths cannot cross each other, so every line you draw narrows down the possibilities for the remaining numbers. The game will notify you if a path is the correct length but in the wrong place.
Puzzles range from small starters to giant boards containing over 2,000 individual paths to connect.
