Evaluation

Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery launched on August 5, 2026 and has received a steady stream of updates from its solo developer. The most recent major update, released on September 10, 2026 (v1.4, "The Grand Update"), added a substantial amount of new content: a second map called the Grand Gallery featuring 106 paintings, 3,761 puzzle pieces, and 10 new artists, along with a multiplayer mode supporting up to 3 players in custom gallery sessions. Importantly, the developer explicitly stated in the September 10, 2026 patch notes that while they are "getting close to the point where I feel like I don't have more to add," they are actively evaluating three potential future additions: Steam Workshop support for sharing custom gallery images, a secret temporary game mode (which they confirmed "is happening"), and a possible third map. The secret game mode in particular was described as something that "stuck in my mind until it happens, so it's happening" — a direct commitment to ship it. This means the game has concrete future content in the pipeline from the developer's own words, even as they acknowledge the update slate is becoming more finite. The game is fully released and actively supported, with future content still planned.

About this game

Synopsis

 When's the worst time to be the janitor of a puzzle gallery? After an earthquake, of course! You play as the janitor of a puzzle gallery, and an earthquake has scattered all of the 5000+ puzzle pieces everywhere. Your job is to use your puzzling skills (and some added enhancements) to put all of the pieces back in their place.

The Ultimate Challenge or the Coziest Simulator

Listen to classical music and admire famous paintings as you solve nearly 200 jigsaw puzzles of varying shapes, subjects, and sizes. Whether you want to see how fast you can solve every one by min-maxing various abilities and sprinting across the gallery, or you just want to chill and work on some puzzles, this clean up simulator is right for you.

A Gallery Of Masterpieces...

The gallery is home to nearly 200 paintings from over 20 famous artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Hokusai, and more, ensuring each piece and section is visually unique and distinctive from the others. Each of the paintings was sourced from Public Domain scans and photographs of their museum originals.

... Or Curated by YOU

Upload your images and turn them into puzzles! You can solve them one at a time and adjust their size, or fill the entire gallery with your own curated selection in the My Puzzles game mode, providing you with full customization and endless gameplay.

But You Aren't The ONLY Janitor

The My Puzzles Custom Gallery Mode now supports up to 4 players, so whether you want to handle the mess as a solo job or bring some friends, for your own curated gallery or the classic paintings, it all gets cleaned by the end of the day.

Key Features

  • Intuitive controls and visuals such as ghost previews on hover and shimmering piece lock-in effects make the act of solving a puzzle both satisfying and exciting.

  • Skill upgrades to different areas of your brain that help you find, manipulate, and solve puzzles quicker with each puzzle you complete.

  • Challenge Modes for those puzzlers that don't need any extra assistance, or are looking for different challenges to make the game feel totally different such as a Black & White Mode and "The Big White" (1024 pieces of pure white).

  • Turn any image you want into puzzles of varying shapes and sizes so that, whether you want to create a greater challenge with a 1000 piece landscape, or just turn your pet into a 50 piece easy solve, you can solve as many puzzles as you want!

  • Want to curate your own gallery? You can upload up to 500 images and fill the gallery with memes, custom artwork, or really anything (so long as it's a png, jpg, webp, or other common image format).
