Fold. Flip. Solve.

DesignLiha is a visual puzzle platform where players interact with space, pattern, and logic through folding-inspired mechanics.

Our games are rooted in origami, geometry, and touch-based exploration—inviting users to solve challenges not through speed, but through structure and subtle interaction.

Designed to calm, focus, and engage, our puzzles reward perception over reaction, and clarity over chaos.

About the Concept

“Liha”

stands for Light + Hands —a philosophy that blends visual clarity with tactile movement.

About the Concept

Inspired by the quiet art of origami and the structure of mathematical forms, DesignLiha transforms traditional puzzle gaming into a meditative, motion-based experience.

Whether you’re folding a digital surface to reveal symmetry, aligning paper planes through mirrored moves, or building solutions one crease at a time, every gesture is part of a creative and cognitive journey.

What We Make

DesignLiha develops mobile and tablet-based puzzle games that simulate folding, unfolding, mirroring, slicing, and realignment.

Our games are:

What We Make

Each puzzle is not just something to win, but something to understand.

Core Games on the Platform

  • Core Games

    Origina

    Fold sheets to match silhouettes and shadows in the fewest moves.

  • Core Games

    Mirrorline

    Symmetry-based shape alignment game using reflective motion.

  • Core Games

    Tangliha

    Geometry-based folding with layering and transparency mechanics.

  • Core Games

    Foldway

    A spatial reasoning game where players collapse space to form new pathways.

  • Core Games

    Pattern Theory (Coming soon)

    Visual sequencing challenges inspired by Islamic tiling and origami tessellations.

Our games emphasize elegant difficulty, never rushing the player—each one is an invitation to think through touch.

How It Works – Mechanics in Motion

All games in the DesignLiha ecosystem use intuitive, touch-based controls:

  • tap

    Tap and Drag

    Manipulate surfaces, lines, and creases

  • tap

    Fold and Unfold

    Collapse or reveal symmetrical spaces

  • tap

    Layering

    Stack pieces to create hidden geometry

  • tap

    Rotate and Reflect

    Use visual orientation to align patterns

  • tap

    Multi-step Challenges

    Combine several folds into one elegant solution

The interface is minimalist, but the puzzles are layered and increasingly complex.

Educational Applications

Educational Applications

DesignLiha is used by educators to support:

  • 1

    Spatial reasoning in geometry classrooms

  • 2

    Pattern recognition and abstract thinking

  • 3

    Art-integrated STEM learning

  • 4

    Focus-based exercises for neurodiverse learners

  • 5

    Visual logic development in students ages 10 and up

Printable puzzle companion sheets are available for schools using our platform. We also provide lesson integration kits on request.

Therapeutic Use and Mindful Play

Our games are also used in occupational therapy , cognitive recovery, and mindfulness training .

Therapists and practitioners report:

  • Reduced anxiety through focus-based interaction

  • Improved hand-eye coordination and planning

  • Engagement for clients with sensory sensitivity

  • Non-verbal problem-solving tools in group settings

  • Gentle pacing for stroke rehabilitation programs

Games like Origina and Mirrorline have shown particular value in therapeutic settings for adults and adolescents alike.

Design Philosophy

Design

We believe that puzzles should:

  • 1

    Be tactile, not transactional

  • 2

    Prioritize understanding, not stress

  • 3

    Use movement as metaphor

  • 4

    Offer stillness through challenge

  • 5

    Respect the user’s pace and ability

DesignLiha is an alternative to hyper-stimulated play—a space to breathe, learn, and think.
