Play Overview
Proverbs (2024) is a puzzle game like Picross or Minesweeper but with huge classic pictures to decipher piece by piece. Play involves using the number clues to systematically complete the image. It stands out for the sheer scale of the challenge, like a huge puzzle you tinker away at while listening to a book or a podcast.
The game describes itself as a digital cross-stitch, inspired by Bruegel the Elder's 1559 painting Netherlandish Proverbs. You work through chunks of the puzzle, using the numerical clues to colour the 54,000-piece grid.
The numbers on the tiles tell you how many light tiles there need to be within 1 square. In this way, you work around each section to place tiles and complete the picture. As you piece together the illustrations there are 16th-century Dutch proverbs and idioms that pop up, many of which are familiar today.
The result is a game that offers a steady challenge from start to finish. It's a task of perseverance that is enjoyable to take on while listening to something else or half-watching the TV.
