Take a pause with Pause Tiles

A calm, crafted experience on your phone.

How to Play

Four meditative game modes, each a different way to unwind.

Pause

Match tiles to clear gameboard.

Tap two or four matching tiles to clear both layers, and celebrate.

Drift

Swap tiles, match 3 in a line.

Tap tiles to swap places. Form a line of triplets to clear. Drifting changes direction every 10 seconds, reorganizing the board.

Just So

Fill rows and columns with unique tiles.

Drag tiles from the tray to fill the grid. Each tile must appear exactly once in every row and column. Tap a placed tile to return it to the tray.

Piece

Tap pieces to swap and restore the picture.

Tap two pieces to swap places and restore the shuffled picture.

    The Pause Tiles Gift Shop

    Mugs, cards and more.

    Every design in this shop started the same way the game did: with card stock, scissors, and a camera. These products reproduce that original hand-cut paper art — a little piece of the game you can hold.
