One beam, a few mirrors, a target in the dark. Try it right here: grab the ring around a mirror and turn it.
Play the demoFour chapters, from a first mirror bounce to lenses, colour and instruments.
Place sources, mirrors, splitters, prisms, filters and walls. Read the angle at every turn.
Lens, periscope, telescope, kaleidoscope and camera obscura to tune by hand.
Print a cardboard periscope or pinhole camera at true scale and tick off each step.
🔦 We are a small team of puzzle designers and science nerds who think a beam of light is the best toy ever invented. Prism Shift grew from a simple wish: make optics feel like play, not homework.
🔭 Our mission is to let curious kids, parents, and teachers see why light behaves the way it does. Every beam in the game reflects, bends, splits and focuses the way it does in the real world.
🌈 You get twenty-four puzzles, an open bench, five hands-on instruments and printable cardboard builds. Colour changes the rules, hints explain the physics, and a map of glowing days tracks your journey.
✨ Switch on the light and see where it takes you.
Effective Date: September 2026
Prism Shift: Optics Puzzles is built to work entirely on your device. We do not collect, store or share any data, period.
None. The app does not ask for your name, email, location, contacts or any other personal detail, and it does not create accounts.
Because we hold no information, we do not analyse it, profile you, or sell anything. Your puzzle taps and mirror turns are your own business.
Progress, saved bench setups and your map of glowing days stay on your device only. There is no cloud backend and no server receiving your play.
No analytics, advertising networks, social plug-ins or trackers are built into the app. Nothing in it talks to outside services.
Since everything runs locally, nothing travels over a network for anyone to intercept. Your device's own protections keep your saved setups safe. Motion sensors used by the kaleidoscope are read live and never recorded.
Prism Shift is friendly to young players and consistent with COPPA principles: we collect no data from anyone, including children under 13.
You are in charge. There are no accounts to close. To erase all progress and saved setups, simply delete the app from your device.
If the policy ever changes, we will update the date above and describe the change here. Our commitment to collecting nothing will stay.
