PI DAY ADVENT 2025

It's that time of year again!

This March from the 1st to the 14th, solve 14 daily nonograms (also called picross puzzles) to reveal a math-themed cross stitch pattern!

The first puzzle (AKA the first pattern) is up and ready to play now!

Stitching details after the cut---

There are 14 nonograms in the stitch-a-long, each 35 squares long and 10 squares tall. Once they are solved, the patterns can be stitched together in a 70x70 grid to make a single complete cross stitch design.

On 14-count fabric the design is 5 inches square-- plus leave some extra for framing-- and is stitched in a single color of your choosing. Since the design is monochrome, there's plenty of room to be adventurous with fabric and thread choice-- I chose a bright variegated floss on black fabric.

Also, as an aside, making nonograms is WAY harder than I thought. It turns out that nine times out of ten the design elements that make a good-looking cross-stitch make an unsolvable nonogram. but I think the final compromise turned out pretty neat!

Happy (soon-to-be) Pi Day, y'all 😊

(ENGLISH UNDER THE CUT)

Ya lo sabréis si visteis el @wholesomegames Direct, pero SQUEAKROSS: HOME SQUEAK HOME🐭🧀, de Alblune, ya está disponible en Steam... ¡y en Switch! 🥳🥳🥳 (Y sí, también funciona de lujo en la Switch 2 👀)

Ha sido divertidísimo adaptar al castellano los muchísimos chistes y juegos de palabras que hay en este juego. No queremos arruinaros (casi) ninguna sorpresa, pero... perdón por adelantado. Eso sí, que conste que Alex y Luka han aprobado personalmente todos y cada uno de los chistacos. 😂

Este juego también marca un hito importantísimo para nosotros: después de mil y un baches por el camino, ¡¡una de nuestras traducciones POR FIN ha llegado a consolas!! Pero, con un poco suerte, será el primero de muchos... y puede que no tengáis que esperar mucho más para el siguiente.

Mil gracias de nuevo a Alblune por su confianza en nosotros. No os podéis ni imaginar la ilusión que nos hace esto... 😭😭❤️❤️

Y muchísimas gracias a nuestra gran amiga @karasawr, veterinaria de profesión, por su ayuda a la hora de traducir la terminología relacionada con roedores que a nosotros se nos escapaba. 😅

Pronto os traeremos más contenido de Squeakross, incluyendo más información sobre cómo fue el proceso de traducción. (Aunque, siendo sinceros, lo hacemos más por nosotros que otra cosa...).

You probably already know this if you watched the @wholesomegames Direct, but Alblune's SQUEAKROSS: HOME SQUEAK HOME🐭🧀 is now available on Steam... and Switch! 🥳🥳🥳 (And yes, it works beautifully on Switch 2 as well 👀)

It's been lots of fun to adapt the many jokes and puns in this game to bring them to a Spanish audience. We don't want to spoil (m)any surprises, but... sorry in advance. That said, just for the record, Alex and Luka have approved every single one of the bad jokes we came up with. 😂

On top of that, this game is a massive milestone for us: it's been an extremely rocky road, but one of our translations has FINALLY made it to consoles!! But, with a tiny little bit of luck, it will only be the first of many... and you might not even have to wait much longer for the next one.

Thank you once again to Alblune for placing their trust on us. You can't even begin to imagine how excited we are about this... 😭😭❤️❤️

And many thanks to our wonderful friend @karasawr, professional vet, for helping us translate the rodent-related terminology that we weren't familiar with. 😅

We will soon bring you more Squeakross content, including a deep dive into the translation process. (Although let's be real - we're doing that mostly for ourselves...)

A thought for Tumblr, brought on by a conversation with a friend and now I'm wondering what others think. :.

Is solving nonogram/Picross puzzles a math game?

Yes, it's a math game

No, it's a logic game

Yes, it's both a math game and a logic game

No, it's something else (explain?)

I just want to see the results
