Prismapixels could be explained as logic puzzles on acid. But I prefer to think of them as coloring books taken to the next level.
Prismapixels are like nonograms, (aka picross, griddlers, and o’ekaki). If you are not sure what these are, you can read about nonograms here.
A prismapixel is a nonogram but with the added depth of using color. They are solved in the exact same manner, but your finished work of art is now in color.
Here is a very simple example of a prismapixel grid, ready to be solved:
The rules for solving are the same as a nonogram. If you have forgotten what those rules are…
1. The numbers on the left of each row and the top of each column represent the lengths of consecutive colored cells.
2. The colored cell blocks occur in the same order as the numbers.
3. There is at least one blank cell between two colored cell blocks
Like nonograms, solving prismapixels is tricky, but still definitely doable. My trick is to start with a pencil, and in each square, put a letter that corresponds to the correct color for that square. That way, I can still erase and make corrections, before completing the puzzle with colored markers or pencil crayons.
Solving prismapixels is so much more rewarding than completing a coloring book page, because you are not only stimulating your artistic side, you are strengthening your cognitive skills at the same time. And the result is just as rewarding as coloring, as you can see by this beautifully completed puzzle below.
The other thing prismapixels have in common with nonograms is that that they are just as difficult to find at your local bookstore. But I have found some great ones on Amazon and Etsy that you can easily get.
Happy puzzling!
