UK games developer Jagex released a nonogram puzzle in 2011 as part of their annual Halloween event for their role-playing game, Runescape.
BLOCK PIXEL PUZZLE PRO
The Japanese arcade game Logic Pro was released by Deniam Corp in 1996, with a sequel released the following year. Increased popularity in Japan launched new publishers and by now there were several monthly magazines, some of which contained up to 100 puzzles.
BLOCK PIXEL PUZZLE SERIES
Since then, one of the most prolific Picross game developers has been Jupiter Corporation, who released Picross DS on the Nintendo DS in 2007, 8 titles in the Picross e series for the Nintendo 3DS eShop (along with 5 character-specific titles, including ones featuring Pokémon, Zelda and Sanrio characters), and 7 titles in the Picross S series for the Nintendo Switch (along with two character-specific ones featuring Kemono Friends and Overlord respectively, and another featuring intellectual properties from SEGA's Master System and Genesis). Only one of these, Mario's Picross for the Game Boy, was released outside Japan. Nintendo picked up on this puzzle fad and released two "Picross" (picture crossword) titles for the Game Boy and nine for the Super Famicom (eight of which were released in two-month intervals for the Nintendo Power Super Famicom Cartridge Writer as the NP series) in Japan.
Paint by numbers puzzles were implemented by 1995 on hand held electronic toys such as Game Boy and on other plastic puzzle toys. Griddlers was the winning name that readers chose. The Sunday Telegraph ran a competition in 1998 to choose a new name for their puzzles. Nonograms were also published in Sweden, the United States (originally by Games magazine ), South Africa and other countries. The Sunday Telegraph published a dedicated puzzle book titled the "Book of Nonograms". By 1993, the first book of nonograms was published by Non Ishida in Japan. In 1990, James Dalgety in the UK invented the name Nonograms after Non Ishida, and The Sunday Telegraph started publishing them on a weekly basis. Non Ishida published three picture grid puzzles in 1988 in Japan under the name of "Window Art Puzzles". Paint by numbers puzzles started appearing in Japanese puzzle magazines.
BLOCK PIXEL PUZZLE PROFESSIONAL
Coincidentally, a professional Japanese puzzler named Tetsuya Nishio invented the same puzzles completely independently, and published them in another magazine. This led her to the idea of a puzzle based around filling in certain squares in a grid. In 1987, Non Ishida, a Japanese graphics editor, won a competition in Tokyo by designing grid pictures using skyscraper lights that were turned on or off. Nonograms are also known by many other names, including Hanjie puzzle, Paint by Numbers, Griddlers, Pic-a-Pix, Picross, Picma, PrismaPixels, Pixel Puzzles, Crucipixel, Edel, FigurePic, Hanjie, HeroGlyphix, Illust-Logic, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Kare Karala!, Logic Art, Logic Square, Logicolor, Logik-Puzzles, Logimage, Oekaki Logic, Oekaki-Mate, Paint Logic, Picture Logic, Tsunamii, Paint by Sudoku and Binary Coloring Books.

Nonograms were named after Non Ishida, one of the two inventors of the puzzle. Nonograms have no theoretical limits on size, and are not restricted to square layouts. For example, a black four followed by a red two could mean four black boxes, some empty spaces, and two red boxes, or it could simply mean four black boxes followed immediately by two red ones. Two differently colored numbers may or may not have a space in between them. If colored, the number clues are also colored to indicate the color of the squares. These puzzles are often black and white-describing a binary image-but they can also be colored. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets. In this puzzle type, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Paint by Numbers, Picross, Griddlers, and Pic-a-Pix, and by various other names, are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden pixel art-like picture.
