Pastimes

Pastimes is a large logic puzzle set inside "Children's Games", the famous painting by Pieter Bruegel from 1560.At first there is only a vast grid and numbers. Then, cell by cell, the painting comes into view: children rolling hoops, spinning tops, playing leapfrog, blind man's buff… until the whole scene reappears.The rule is simple: each number tells how many cells must be filled in the 3×3 square around it, counting the number's own cell. By cross-checking the clues, you gradually work out which cells to fill and which to leave empty.Pastimes is meant to be solved at your own pace, a few minutes at a time or across long sessions.The entire painting is one large play area, divided into scenes inspired by the different games Bruegel painted. Finish a region and unlock a close-up of the scene, plus a few lines about the game
