Picross e is a series of nonogram puzzle video games developed and published by Jupiter for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. It is the successor to Jupiter's Nintendo-published Picross games including the Mario's Picross series and Picross DS. It was later succeeded by the Picross S series.
On 29 February 2024, a year after the discontinuation of the Nintendo 3DS's Nintendo eShop, Jupiter released Picross S+, a compilation of every puzzle previously included in the Picross e series, with the first game's puzzles being included in the base game, and the rest being sold as separate downloadable content.
