Puzzle Maker Pro – Galaxies

Give Your Catalog a Puzzle the Other Books Do Not Have

Most logic puzzle books recycle the same three or four puzzle types, so on a crowded shelf they all blur together. Galaxies (also known as Tentai Show) is the fresh one that still reads in seconds: divide the grid into regions, one around each dot, so that every region is perfectly symmetric around its dot. It needs no arithmetic, it looks nothing like another grid of numbers or letters, and it gives a browser a reason to stop and try one.

Then comes the twist that makes one module do the work of two. Every dot can be a picture instead of a plain circle, so the same generator produces a sharp symmetry challenge for adults and a friendly “give every animal its own space” activity for children. Puzzle Maker Pro – Galaxies builds the puzzles and their guaranteed single solutions for you, ready to print and publish. See finished puzzles and their answer keys in the gallery above.

Why Galaxies Earns a Place in Your Catalog

Galaxies gives you a fresh puzzle that still feels instantly approachable: split the board so each dot sits at the exact center of its own symmetric region. The “find the symmetry” rhythm feels nothing like sudoku or word logic, which is exactly what makes a mixed book feel varied instead of repetitive, and a standalone book feel new.

It is a long-running favorite in Japan under the name Tentai Show and still fresh across many English-language markets, so it works as a headline title and as standout variety inside a larger collection. You are not betting on an unknown. You are bringing a proven puzzle to an audience that has not been served it yet. And because every puzzle is generated with one guaranteed, logic-only solution, what you publish is always fair.

See the Output

The fastest way to judge a puzzle is to look at it, so the gallery shows real output: a finished board, its matching solution with the symmetric regions shaded, the size and difficulty range, and the picture-dot styles that set this module apart.

Prefer to try before you trust it? Every Puzzle Maker Pro module includes a free demo, so you can generate Galaxies puzzles yourself and see the output quality, including the picture-dot styles, before you spend anything.

What You Can Create

• Standalone Galaxies puzzle books for KDP and other print-on-demand platforms
• Picture puzzle books for children, with a themed image at the heart of every region
• Printable worksheets and activity packs for Etsy or your own site
• Classroom logic activities with difficulty and grid size matched to your students
• Mixed logic books that combine Galaxies with your other Puzzle Maker Pro puzzle types
• Themed or seasonal collections built across several difficulty levels and grid sizes
• Interactive web puzzles that draw solvers to your own site, with Productivity Edition

Theme It with Pictures, Not Just Dots

This is where Galaxies does something other logic puzzles cannot. Swap the plain dots for images, from built-in sets such as Kids Animals to your own artwork, and the puzzle becomes a children’s or novelty product without changing a single rule. It is the simplest way to open a second shelf, in kids and themed puzzles, from the very same module.

You control how the pictures are used. Set images per puzzle to one and every region on a page shares a single picture, so one page is all dogs and the next is all cats. Set it higher and several pictures mix within each puzzle. An optional numbered-dot mode adds a small number to every region, which makes answer keys clear and helps younger solvers follow along.

Puzzles You Can Publish Without Worrying

Building valid Galaxies layouts by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, because every region has to be perfectly symmetric around its dot and the whole board has to have exactly one answer. Solvability complaints are the fastest route to a bad review and a refund, and this is exactly where Puzzle Maker Pro removes the risk. It generates the puzzle and its solution together, guarantees that single answer, and ships every puzzle with its matching answer key in the same pass. What you publish is always fair, and you never hand-check a grid.

Cover Beginners Through Experts

Grids run from 7×7 to 15×15, with rows and columns set independently, so you can build square or rectangular boards to fit any page. Two genuine difficulty levels, Normal and Unreasonable, let you go from a gentle starter page to a board that puts an experienced solver to work. Add the numbered-dot mode for easier and answer-key versions, and one module covers everything from a children’s activity to an expert challenge.

From One Puzzle to a Full Book

Creating a single Galaxies puzzle is useful. Creating a hundred consistent ones is a product. With Productivity Edition, Time Saver generates large sets of unique puzzles from one saved setup, and Puzzle Book Studio assembles them, alongside your other Puzzle Maker Pro puzzle types, into finished books and mixed collections. You set the look, theme, and difficulty once, then let the workflow produce the pages. This is where Galaxies stops being a generator and becomes a repeatable publishing line.

And the everyday styling is just as quick. Set the canvas color, grid lines, region outlines, and dot style once, then reuse that look across an entire set so your collection looks designed rather than rebuilt page by page.

Choose Your Edition

Both editions create and export real Galaxies puzzles with matching solutions, including picture-themed ones. The difference is scale and digital output.

Creative

Best if you mainly make and export puzzles for individual pages, worksheets, and smaller collections. You get the full creator, plain or picture dots, the numbered-dot option, custom styling, and print-ready PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF output.

Productivity

Best if you are building full books or selling digital and interactive versions. You get everything in Creative, plus Time Saver and batch creation, JSON for catalog and online workflows, HTML output for interactive web play, and Puzzle Book Studio assembly.

HTML output gives you playable HTML to host on your own site, plus a ZIP you upload to the BookPublisherTools WordPress plugin to publish the puzzles on your WordPress site. That makes the puzzle a draw in its own right, a simple way to bring solvers to your pages and offer interactive play alongside the printed book. Puzzle Slides and Interactive PDF are not available for this module.

Who This Is For

Puzzle book publishers and POD sellers. Differentiate a crowded shelf with a puzzle type your competitors are not using, then turn one setup into a full book of unique, guess-free puzzles ready for KDP or print-on-demand. The picture-dot option opens a second shelf in children’s and novelty puzzles from the same module.

Existing Puzzle Maker Pro customers. Add a new logic type to the workflow you already know. Style it with your shared settings, batch it with Time Saver, and combine it in mixed puzzle books, with nothing new to learn.

Educators and parents. Build logical-reasoning activities sized to your students, from a gentle 7×7 to a tougher Unreasonable challenge. Picture dots and numbered dots make the puzzle approachable for younger children, so one module covers both the classroom and the kitchen table. With Productivity Edition you can also publish an interactive web version for screens.

Try It Before You Buy

You do not have to take any of this on faith. Every Puzzle Maker Pro module includes a free demo, so you can generate Galaxies puzzles, see the output quality including the picture-dot styles, and judge it yourself before you choose an edition.
