A-Puzzle-A-Day: From TikTok to App Launch

In 2022, I worked with Norwegian puzzle company DragonFjord to develop and launch the A-Puzzle-A-Day mobile app, a daily puzzle game based on their popular wooden puzzle.

The project:

  • 10-month development timeline
  • Successfully launched November 2022
  • From concept to app stores

Story

I discovered DragonFjord’s puzzle through TikTok, reached out to them, and within 24 hours I was invited to a video call. Hundreds of emails, dozens of demos and meetings later, we built a strong partnership and I translated their physical puzzle into a mobile app.

The app gained media attention across multiple publications, from local newspapers to Dutch and Norwegian national media.

Local Newspaper
