Dearest Bonza Puzzlers,

We always try to create an elegant and sophisticated experience. Occasionally, watching an ad can disrupt that experience and we understand how frustrating it can be. In this version, you can disable ads from the settings screen, this will remove any opportunity for ads to be seen within the game. Please be aware, you can still continue to support us by purchasing coins or leaving a 5-star review.

• Added option to turn off ads
• Fixed bug where Top-5 puzzles wouldn’t show as complete
• Added Jumbo Pack 6

Hi Bonza puzzlers, Classic Packs are now purchasable with coins! If you’ve been saving them for a rainy day, it’s now your chance to splurge. New puzzles are created by the Bonza community every day. Soon, we’ll start a “Weekly Top-5” that features top-rated puzzles from the previous week. This will be available to everyone and updated each weekend. We’re working to improve our rating system and the algorithm that helps bring good puzzles to the surface. You can help by playing UNRATED PUZZLES (from the Settings screen) and give them star ratings accordingly. Please be aware, many of these puzzles have never been seen. Thanks for playing!

Hi Bonza Buddies,
This update is optimised for iPhoneX and also includes a bunch of refactoring. The recent overhaul should stabilise the app and address some of the issues you may have encountered. There aren’t any new puzzle packs but we’re committed to maintaining the bonus puzzle every weekend.

Sorry it’s been a little while since the last update. We’ve been focussed on developing the new game and we’ve also welcomed a new baby into the family! 2018 will be super exciting with the upcoming launch of Bonza Jigsaw, we can’t wait to share it with you.

If you would like an exclusive preview of Bonza Jigsaw, please email us at support.ios@minimega.zendesk.com or get in touch via Facebook or Twitter. We’re looking for Beta testers who can help identify and troubleshoot issues that might arise. If you have an eye for detail and a love for jigsaws, WE WANT YOU!

Hi Bonza Buddies,

*Fixed issue loading pack progress*

Hi Bonza Buddies,
The old Daily Puzzle was a backbone of the Bonza experience for years. We manually edited the old Daily Puzzle every day for over 1000 days. Although it was a labour of love, that pressure can put a strain on the business and our family lives. The new Daily Shuffle relieves that pressure and allows us to work on a brand new Bonza game. Thanks for your understanding.

There’s a database with thousands of puzzles designed by the Bonza community. The shuffle chooses a random puzzle (with a high rating) from the database. The system is still relatively new so some average puzzles can slip through the cracks. If you see any disappointing puzzles, please give them a one star rating so they no longer appear in the shuffle. We’ve made some changes to the shuffle algorithm so you should start seeing more high quality puzzles.

We overlooked the daily ritual of playing the same puzzle as your loved ones, sorry about that. We’ve added a new feature allowing you to do this, simply tap “Share Puzzle” from the gameplay screen and you’ll be up and running.

This update is jam-packed full of new features and optimisations including 2 new JUMBO PACKS available for coins. There are enhancements to the puzzle editor and general improvements to usability.

Thanks,
The Bonza Team

**FIXED FOR iOS7**

Hi Bonza Buddies,
This update includes a new, premium type of puzzle. JUMBO PUZZLE PACKS are now available from the menu, you can unlock them with coins. These puzzles are much larger than regular Bonza puzzles and they take longer to solve. We hope you enjoy the new format.

We increased the character limit on home-made puzzles. This means you can create larger puzzles to share with friends.

In 2017, the Daily Puzzle will switch to a new system. This update will get you upgraded so that when January 1st rolls around, you can continue getting your daily Bonza fix. We wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to the new year!

Hi Bonza Solvers,
Thanks for your awesome feedback, the puzzle rating system has helped to establish a quality benchmark. Puzzle rating is now completely optional and it’s also switched to a 5 star system. We invite you to continue rating puzzles and maintaining the benchmark.

You’ll notice an adjustment to the free hint system. Instead of revealing the entire answer, the free hint now reveals a single piece at a time. It’s a puzzle within a puzzle. This may not be a popular feature and we apologise, please consider that we are doing our best to maintain a sustainable family business using ads that are completely optional.

Thanks,
The Bonza Team

P.S. This version includes the daily puzzles from September, October and November.

Hi Bonza Solvers,

We plan to collect the best puzzles from the community and showcase them. We’ve implemented a rating system that should help find the cream of the crop.

You can now create MYSTERY CLUES using the puzzle creator. Use a combination of upper and lower case letters. E.g. “Dog Breeds” becomes “D-- B-----”.

Some players have asked for the ability to examine the details of a puzzle after it's complete. You can now do this by tapping BACK from the puzzle complete screen. We hope you enjoy this new feature.

In this version we’ve addressed some performance issues and made general optimisations. If you’ve had errors in the past, hopefully this fixes them.


Thanks,
The Bonza Team

P.S.
Daily puzzles from June and July 2016 are now available

Hi Bonza Solvers,

This version introduces the BONZA PUZZLE CREATOR. It’s a momentous occasion as Bonza evolves, allowing you to create your own puzzles and challenge friends. We’re truly excited to share this update with you.

You could send a romantic love-puzzle to your partner, or an Italian puzzle to your Nonna. You could make a super simple something for the kids, or challenge your comrades to a confusing conundrum. Get creative!

As you create puzzles, we ask that you consider the consequences of your words. Remember love is wise and hatred is foolish; please act with tolerance, kindness and sincerity. As you’re solving puzzles created by others, please try to be open-minded. If you see words that you don’t like, you can report the puzzle as inappropriate.

Regards,
The Bonza Team

Hi Bonza Solvers,

Soon you’ll be able to create your own puzzles and challenge friends. As part of the development process, a team of Bonza testers will be sharing their creations online. We’ll show you some of the best puzzles via Facebook and Twitter.

This update enables you to solve puzzles that have been made using the upcoming feature.

Regards,
The Bonza Team

** BACK TO HOW IT WAS **

Hi Bonza Solvers,

Last update was a dud, sorry about that.

We tried out some "Freemuim" style game design and it was poor.
The result was annoying, obnoxious and simply not Bonza.
The game no longer felt right for us and no longer felt right for many of you.
This kind of monetisation is not worth it, you deserve better.

So we've made Bonza back to how it was!

• Annoying "Free Hint Pop-out" is gone
• Daily puzzles are back to 10 coins
• Old daily puzzle packs are back to 220 coins
• Bundles are back in place
• Hints are still cheaper at 35 coins
• January 2014 is still free
• 100 free coins when you update

VIDEO ADS
If you like watching an ad to get a free hint, you can access that from the Hint menu.
If you don't like video ads, you can disable them from the Settings page.

This update stays true to the Bonza philosophy.
If this is good news to you, we'd love to hear your feedback.
Please leave a review and tell us what you think.

Regards
The Bonza Team

** SPECIAL! 300 FREE COINS WHEN YOU UPDATE **

Hi Bonza Solvers,

This update fixes a couple of bugs and typos. If you were having trouble using your coins to purchase old daily puzzles then this update should fix that. Also, the daily puzzles from April 2015 are now available.

Based on your feedback, we have made a decision to tweak the Bonza coin economy. You’ll notice a bunch of changes, including cheaper hints and additional ways to earn coins. Old puzzle packs cost more and the daily puzzles from January 2014 are now free. By updating, you’ll also get 300 free coins for being awesome.

We hope these changes will make the overall experience more enjoyable for everyone. Thanks for your input, and thanks for your ongoing support.

Regards
The Bonza Team

** SPECIAL! 100 Free coins when you update **

Thanks to the Bonza community for continuing to support us by giving feedback, submitting puzzle ideas and spreading the Bonza word.

The daily puzzles from January, February and March are now available. These packs are accessed from a new folder called “Daily Puzzles from 2015”.

There are four new Celebrity Designer Packs now available. These packs sometimes contain esoteric content that’s relevant to each designer. If you like the harder puzzles, these are for you.

Some players have asked if they could pay coins to skip a puzzle. This feature has now been added, you’ll find it on the hint panel.

Bonza is always going through changes. We’re often fixing bugs, typos and updating content. We apologise if any of the puzzle content is offensive. If you find a puzzle offensive or inappropriate, please tell us so that we can fix it. Also, please remember to rate and review so that we can continue to improve the game.

Regards,
The Bonza Team
