Paint by number in gel pen and guess the mystery picture early for more stars.
Read full description
Every square has a number, every number is a gel pen and a mark, and the picture stays a secret until the page is done. Paint it square by square, watch the mystery take shape, and guess what it is the moment you think you know. The earlier you are right, the more stars you earn.
Paint by Number, Mark by Mark
Pick a pen from the tray and sweep a finger across the page. Only the squares with its number take the ink, so there are no mistakes on Trama paper. Thirteen gel pens and six marks, from a light dot and a quick stroke to a cross, a hatch, a mesh and a solid block, build every picture out of texture as well as colour. Pinch to zoom, use two fingers to move the page, and tap Find to jump to the pen's next empty square.
Guess It Early
Nobody tells you what you are painting. Guess whenever you like, from four names: right with a quarter of the page painted or less earns three stars, right by half earns two, later earns one. A wrong guess crosses that name out, and the next guess opens once ten percent more of the page is painted. A guess never ends a page, so you always get to finish it.
A Print for Your Gallery
Fill the last square and the numbers drop away, the grid fades, the marks settle into an engraved print and the picture's name appears. Every finished page hangs framed in your gallery with the stars it earned, and Watch again replays every stroke you painted as a short time-lapse.
One Mystery a Day
A new daily page every day, the same picture for every player. Keep your streak going, then share your result: when you guessed, how long it took and your streak, on a card that never gives the picture away.
Four Sizes to Climb
Start on Sketch, sixteen squares a side, then work up through Study and Canvas to Fresco, forty by forty, where every picture has more detail to paint. Finish ten pages on a size and the next one opens. Over 500 pictures, from foxes and teapots to tractors and lighthouses, and page 12 on your phone is page 12 on every phone.
Ten Themed Packs
Winter Wonders, Spooky Doodles, Crown Jewels, Mountain Air, Museum Night, Big Top and Wild West each climb from Sketch to a Masterpiece finale on a grand 48 by 48 page. Three extreme packs, Carnival Parade, Lock and Key and High Seas, are 32 Masterpiece pages each. Every pack is 32 pages of pictures chosen for its theme, and no picture repeats inside a pack.
Stuck on a Pen?
A hint fills every empty square of the pen in hand, and it is only spent when it fills something. You start with three. More come from short ads you choose to watch, two for a hint, or from hint packs in the store, and no page ever needs one. No countdown, no lives, no failing.
Portrait play, sixteen languages, and every page plays offline. Pictures based on Noto Emoji by Google.
Trama is free, funded by a full screen ad between some pages. Optional extras stay optional: ten themed picture packs and hint packs, plus a free hint for every two short ads you choose to watch. No subscription, and no account to create.
