PhotoFetch is an advanced photo retrieval game designed to convert your own photos into a challenging puzzle. At start, a randomly chosen photo from your own Photo Library will be scrambled and displayed. Tap [BEGIN] to begin solving the puzzle using a fingertip to slide each tile into its correct position. The Progress Bar will advance to reflect the number of correctly placed tiles. The [HINT] button will highlight a tile and show where it belongs using an animated red square. When finished, the gridlines disappear and the date and locale will be revealed! Scoring adds to the challenge! The score adds +1 per move, +1 every 3 secs, and +5 per Hint.

Options: To select a new random photo tap [PLAY AGAIN] in the tool bar at the bottom of the screen . To select your own photo tap the [SELECT PHOTO] button to access the iPhones library or tap the [CAM] button to use the camera. To scroll through the most recently taken photos simply Swipe the screen Up to display them or Down to step back through them. Once a photo has been chosen tap [SCRAMBLE] to scramble it and then start solving! Tap [ROTATE] before scrambling to rotate the photo 90 degrees if desired.

Users can share a photo puzzle with friends & family using standard iPhone text messaging. After scrambling a photo, simply tap [iMESSAGE]. The puzzle will be encoded and automatically placed in a new compose message window. Complete and send the message as you normally would with an attached photo. The recipient would simply save the scrambled photo to their own library and then use PhotoFetch to solve it. The saved scrambled photo will be stored as the most recent and can be retrieved by swiping up after launch the app or by selecting the photo using the [SELECT PHOTO] button. Once solved the recipient can then tap the [SAVE] button to add the completed photo to their own library. Note that puzzles sent via iMessage will not include date and locale.
