Color by Number: ZoomTale

Coloring book where every picture holds the next: color by number, then dive in.

Color by Number: ZoomTale is a coloring book with a secret: every scene hides the next one. A glass moth carries a tiny world in its wing. A paper desert hides a wave. Fill in the numbered areas, finish the scene, and its portal opens: the camera dives through it into the world waiting inside, and you color that one too.

10 chains of nested scenes, over 40 scenes in 12 art styles and over 15,000 areas to color, from a glass moth and a paper lighthouse to a firebird, a jellyfish and a whale. Finish the last scene of a chain and its portal leads back to the first, so the infinite zoom closes into a loop you can watch again and again.

How to play this color by number game

Tap a numbered color: every area with that number turns gray. Tap an area to fill it with a soft ripple of paint. Zoom in to see the numbers and zoom out to see the whole picture: pinch on a phone or tablet, or use the mouse wheel or trackpad on a computer.

Finish every area and the scene is complete: its portal opens and you dive into the next one. Stuck on the last tiny area? The finder flies you straight to it.
