Tessra
Elegant discovery in an unrepeatable mosaic.
A calm puzzle game built on a Penrose tiling. No timer, no losing — tap outward from the center and watch a hidden order emerge.
The rule
Two rhombs. That is all.
Every mosaic in Tessra is built from exactly two shapes — a thick rhomb at 72° and a thin rhomb at 36°. Simple pieces, placed by simple rules, that never settle into ordinary repetition.
Thick
72° acute
Thin
36° acute

Mosaic of the Day
One mosaic, shared by everyone, every day.
Each UTC day generates a single Penrose patch — the same one for every player in the world. Start from the center, tap outward, and reveal the hidden order. Quietly social, with no chat and no scoreboard.
A figure of the day to find
Seven named figures
Three-day archive
Twenty levels
Twenty named figures, from Twin Rhombs to Twin Suns.
A quiet route through the Penrose families. Each level asks you to reveal one named figure inside the patch — a gentle path from a single pair of tiles to nested stars.
The pattern
Patterns that never repeat — symmetry that always returns.
Order without repetition — the geometry Penrose proved possible in 1974, and Tessra lets you wander inside.
