1. What is the Puzzlerazzi Challenge? - If you're a competitive puzzler and feel like racing against the clock to complete a puzzle within a set time limit, click on the puzzle piece called "Challenge" on the main menu. You will see 10 Challenges. The top left image will be unlocked. Click on the unlocked image. There are 18 levels under each Challenge image that get progressively harder. Once you complete all 18 levels in order, you will unlock the next challenge level which involves a new slightly harder picture to complete. You can unlock all levels and challenges for free by completing the previous levels. If you need more time to complete a level, you can watch an ad or use gold puzzle pieces from your bank. If you don't feel like racing, then choose the "Browse Photos" or "Random" icon to piece together one of your own photos with no time limit.
2. How do I turn my photos into a puzzle? - Click on the "Browse Photos" icon and choose a photo from your own photo library, or hit the "Random" icon and we’ll choose one of your photos for you. Please note that the first time you use the Random feature, it may take up to a minute to randomise your library depending on how many photos you have in the library so please be patient.
3. Can I move the background? Yes - place two fingers on the screen to move the background. Place one finger on the screen to move puzzle pieces only.
4. Can I change the background colour? Yes - Double tap the screen when doing a puzzle to bring up the options menu and click on the grey coloured square. You can cycle through the background colours by continuing to click on the grey square until you find the colour you prefer.
   
5. How do I open the options menu? - To open the options menu while completing a puzzle, double tap on the screen.
6. How do I close the options menu? - To close the options menu while completing a puzzle, double tap the screen.
7. What is the purpose of the yellow puzzle piece icon? - This is the ‘Edge pieces only’ icon. When you select this icon, only edge pieces will appear on the screen. This allows you to build the frame first which is helpful when starting a bigger puzzle. Tap the icon a second time to return all puzzle pieces to the screen.
8. Why do the Challenge levels have different Time Limits? - Some levels are made progressively harder by reducing the Time Limit or may involve more puzzle pieces or more complex shapes or even a harder picture to piece back together so the Time Limit is increased. Before you start a Challenge level, you will be shown the Time Limit, Shape and Number of Pieces you are about to complete.
9. How do I earn free Gold Puzzle pieces in the Challenge section? - When you complete a Challenge level within the Time Limit (not using any Bonus time) you are awarded 3 stars and one free Gold Puzzle piece.
10. What are Gold Puzzle pieces used for? - Gold Puzzle pieces are used in the Challenge levels to get additional time when you have run out of regulation time.
11. How do I earn 3 stars on a Challenge level? - When you complete a challenge level puzzle within the Time Limit (without using bonus time), you are awarded 3 stars for that level as well as one free Gold Puzzle piece.
12. How do I earn 2 stars on a Challenge level? - When you complete a challenge level puzzle after the Time Limit by using one set of bonus time, you are awarded 2 stars for that level.
13. How do I earn 1 stars on a Challenge level? - When you complete a challenge level puzzle after regulation time by using two of more sets of bonus time, you are awarded 1 star for that level.
14. Can I improve my star rating on a Challenge level? Yes - you can repeat a level as many times as you like and try to improve your star rating. If you improve the rating to a 3 star rating you will be awarded one free Gold Puzzle piece that you can use to add bonus time when trying to complete a Challenge level.
15. How do I know how much time I have left when doing a Challenge level - The clock in the bottom right hand corner will be counting down from the set Time Limit for that Challenge level. You will also hear a camera shutter sound start when you have 10 seconds left and continue until you have run out of time.
16. Can I stop the clock while making a puzzle? - Yes - you can always stop the clock by switching to another app, locking your device or powering off your device and come back to a puzzle right where you left it as long as you keep the Puzzlerazzi app open. You will just continue from where you were when you left the puzzle.
    
17. Why doesn't the Browse Photos or Random feature work? Make sure you have allowed the Puzzlerazzi app access to your photos. If using the Random feature for the first time, it may take up to a minute to randomise your library depending on how many photos you have in the library so please be patient.
18. Why is the app called "Puzzlerazzi"? The name is derived from the term "Paparazzi" and "Puzzle". Since Paparazzi like to take photos and and the app likes to turn your favourite photos into puzzles, the name Puzzlerazzi was decided on.
