Holepunch

Press & Media Kit

A daily puzzle where you fold a virtual sheet of paper, punch one hole through every layer, and unfold it to match the day's pattern.

Remember making paper snowflakes in school, and the little "whoa" when you unfolded them? Holepunch is that moment, as a 30-second daily brain teaser.

Fold, punch, unfold. 13 seconds. (Silent, loops.)

What it is

Holepunch is a daily spatial-reasoning puzzle in the Wordle mold: one shared puzzle a day, streaks, stats, and a spoiler-free emoji share. Unlike word games, it's visual, so it has no language barrier and travels globally by default. Every puzzle is solvable by construction, and the difficulty is random across the week.
