Behind Purple

Behind Purple — a logic and visual-assembly board game

Study the tiles, arrange them methodically, then flip them to reveal a hidden illustration: Behind Purple offers a unique board game experience that blends observation, reasoning and visual satisfaction. Each puzzle is solved step by step by assembling the tiles laid out before you according to a precise logic, until the final image appears on the reverse.

Need a little help along the way? For each puzzle, 6 numbered hint cards are at your disposal. Flip them in order to unlock key steps and progress without frustration. This accessible approach makes it an excellent choice for family board game play as well as adult board game play, perfect for solo play and just as enjoyable to solve collaboratively.

Box contents and illustrated puzzles

Designed by Cédric Millet, Behind Purple contains three puzzles with original mechanics, each supported by a strong graphic universe — ideal for fans of visually strategic board games and drawing-based board games:

• The Infernal Machine — a surprising Rube Goldberg–style contraption puzzle to burst a balloon. Illustrations: Crocotame. Contents: 42 tiles.
• The Meal — an artist absorbed in her work neglects her lunch, in a still life full of details to piece together. Illustrations: Mélody Leblond. Contents: 86 tiles.
• The Notebook — a school notebook and its creative exercises to be reassembled with finesse. Illustrations: Pierô & Isaak. Contents: 87 tiles.

Choose a compartment, take out the tiles without turning them over and start immediately: no laborious setup — the visual investigation begins as soon as you open the box. Between Rube Goldberg–style machinery, an animated still life and a school-world setting, these three illustrated experiences offer stimulating replayability and a real sense of progression.
