Osmo Tangram is a puzzle game that first originated in China and was brought to Europe in the 1800's. In the Osmo version, players arrange puzzle pieces to match on-screen shapes. Play with a friend or challenge yourself to increasingly difficult levels as your handiwork lights up with each victory.

Tangram is not only fun, but it's good for the brain too. Playing Tangram is a great way to exercise spatial and visual problem-solving skills. Start thinking with shapes!

Intro to Tangram is appropriate for kids age 4+, and Tangram is appropriate for kids 6+. Most adults find many of the hard levels very challenging. Osmo Tangram is really for kids of all ages!

Osmo Tangram comes with seven (7) colored wood tangram pieces. 

Osmo fosters learning in key areas such as creative problem solving, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics), and Common Core. We believe in healthy tablet play for kids with a good balance of fun and learning with plenty of physical play away from a screen. Each of games offers unique educational value.

Tangram teaches spatial relational skills while fostering social-emotional skills and creative thinking.

Yes, in the Tangram game there are four levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Challenge. Each level corresponds to a color in the game: easy = yellow, medium = orange, hard = red, and challenge = blue.

Junior Mode

Junior mode is made up of about a dozen puzzles, some of which use only a couple of puzzle pieces. The game gives the player many visual and audio cues to assist in completing the puzzles. Junior mode puzzles do not use all of the pieces.

Treasure Mode

Treasure mode features a large map that the player can use to navigate his/her way throughout. Treasure mode includes levels Easy, Medium, Hard, Harder. Every puzzle in Treasure mode uses all of the pieces.

Classic Mode

When Classic mode is enabled, the puzzles appear as a giant grid of puzzles, with none of the treasures or trees or anything like that on it.

Intro to Tangram is intended for younger kids. It also provides an introduction to the full version of the game. There are hundreds of puzzles for you to unlock as you play the game and improve!

If the game says “Center your pieces,” it means that your puzzle is close to the edge of Osmo's field of vision. To fix this, slide your puzzle until it's centered in front of the iPad.

The Tangram pieces included are made specifically for Osmo, so they will work better than other pieces. You�can try using your own pieces if you'd like, but it is very rare that non-Osmo tangram pieces work with Osmo (due to our special visioning technology).

�

While we celebrate your ambition, no, the game does not provide this option. However, there are over 400 puzzles for you to unlock as you play the game!

Any time an app crashes, it's good practice to close other open apps (double tap home button and swipe the windows up to close them). Also please try reinstalling the Tangram app and restarting the iPad. If it doesn't help, please write us at support@playosmo.com with your iPad model number. You can find the model number printed on the back of your iPad.
