Halloween Patchwork is a game in which you can assembly 120 unique jigsaw puzzles. The puzzles are “made “of six different materials: wood, cloth, glass, paper, precious stones, and metal. Players are tasked with putting together patchwork style puzzles into Halloween characters, a haunted house, a monster, etc. Halloween Patchwork is free, but does tout in-app purchases.
