There are lots of ways to get connected with Picross 3D:

You can use local wireless communications to send or receive puzzles with a friend who also has the game. You can also send any puzzle you like to a friend who doesn't own the game as a downloadable demo – just go to “My Picross” in the main menu and pick the “DS Wireless Communications” option.

There are over 350 puzzles ready to be solved on your Picross 3D Game Card. However, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can take advantage of regular batches of new puzzles that can be downloaded as puzzle packs. Keep an eye on the Nintendo website news as we'll announce when new packs become available!

Fancy pitting your creative skills against the world? Then enter one of our monthly themed competitions by creating a suitable 3D puzzle and see how you stand up against other Picross fanatics in Europe! Once you’ve created a puzzle that you think fits the monthly theme, enter by doing the following:

1. Select "My Picross" from the main menu.
2. Tap "Nintendo WFC" to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
3. Once connected, tap "Contests" and then choose the current contest (marked "open")
4. Tap "Submit" and select the puzzle you wish to submit!

You can enter the current competition and also download winning entries from previous competitions as separate puzzle packs, giving you even more fascinating Picross puzzles to try! Simply follow the instructions above and tap "Puzzle Packs" instead of  "Contests". News about monthly competitions and the winning puzzle packs will be announced in the News section of the Nintendo website, so make sure to check regularly.

Note: Either a compatible wireless router or a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (sold separately) as well as active broadband access are required for online play.
