Take on a tantalising challenge that will test your logic, your nerves and your creative talent, all in 3D! In Picross 3D, the aim of the game is to uncover a three-dimensional object by chipping away at a giant cube made up of stone blocks. You work out which blocks to destroy by way of numbered clues that appear on the rows and columns of the block - if you’re successful, you’ll be rewarded with a fun animation.

Sound a little complicated? The easiest way to get to grips with the basics is to see them in action, which you can do right now at the official Picross 3D website, which features animated examples and an interactive section to really put your fledgling Picross skills to the test. Before you know it, you’ll be demolishing blocks with the best of them!

As well as scrutinising your solving abilities, Picross 3D allows you to create your own unique puzzles to share with friends via local wireless connection. You can even submit your original creations to monthly themed competitions, where the winning entries will be released for anyone to download and play. All the details are waiting for you at the official Picross 3D site – come and investigate now!

Picross 3D will be available from shops March 5, only for Nintendo DS.
