PicA Puzzle
Gamified Photo Slider Puzzle Platform
100% Preventative Cheat Protection
Zero Profile Upsert Failures
300ms Dynamic Stat Cards Bounces
Project Overview
PicA Puzzle is a mobile gaming platform that turns user-generated photography into interactive sliding puzzles with progressive difficulties, leaderboards, and secure sharing capabilities.
The Business Challenge
Players exploited the daily rewarded ad limits and game timers by setting their mobile device clocks backward. High concurrency operations also triggered profile validation crashes for guest accounts on launch.
Our Solution & Engineering
We developed a Flutter application leveraging Riverpod for state management. To counter time-travel cheating, we implemented a Supabase RPC check (`record_and_check_ad_watch`) that logs ad timestamps server-side. Guest accounts benefit from a self-healing signup profile checkpoint, and XP values fall back to local SharedPreferences when offline.
Key Integrations
Secure Puzzle Encryption
Encrypts user photos end-to-end so puzzles can be shared privately via SMS or WhatsApp fallback links.
Server-Side Ad Verification
Monitors daily video ad completions against a secure Supabase ledger, making client-side tampering impossible.
Dynamic XP Hint Engine
Features Image Glimpses and animated Auto-Solve piece swaps triggered dynamically by Riverpod.
