[[File:Rayman Lum o Grams logo.png|thumb]]

The game belongs to the Picross/Nonograms genre and uses both its own and assets of most 2D projects from {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman series}}, with the exception of {{rw|UbiArt|UbiArt}} games. The game was first announced at [[Rayman: Alive|Rayman Alive 2022]] as part of the [[Rayman Universe|RUNI Showcase]] segment presenting [[Rayman Universe]] projects, which featured a concept trailer. The project's World Premiere took place at [[Rayman: Alive|Rayman Alive 2023]], revealing most of the details of the game. The first public demo version has been announced for early 2024.

The project is being developed on the Clickteam Fusion 2.5 engine, while the game itself will be available for download on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Jolt Game Jolt].

Nikita Cherkashin, founder of [[Rayman Universe]], is the main developer, Danil Mamaev, who previously worked on the [[Rayman Garden PLUS]] fan game soundtrack, is the composer and sound designer, Nikita Mukhin is the playtester, and Millie is the voice actor of the game introduction.

At the moment, the team is looking for enthusiasts who want to participate in the creation of puzzle images in the 15x15 pixel format.

Rayman Lum'o'Grams' plot is based on the official description of [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]], a scrapped character from {{rw|Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape}}, previously mentioned only in the official strategy guide, but never appeared in any game in the {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman series}}. The narrative begins with the character's backstory, after which the events of the game take place in the present.

During the game, [[Rayman]] visits fragments of his memories of the events of past games, in which he restores [[The Glade of Dreams]] by recovering images of its creatures by solving [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] puzzles.

Locations from previous {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman games}} are presented here as levels. When their full list has not yet been announced, a list of games is known, the locations, styles and bosses from which will be included in the final game.

===[[UbiArtist]] Styles===

During the main story campaign, the player randomly unlocks new [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] of increased difficulty, the solution of which is also necessary to complete the game. They do not include [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]], the puzzles are presented in 15x15 format, and instead of [[Rayman]], [[UbiArtist]], a mascot of {{rw|Ubisoft|Ubisoft's}} {{rw|UbiArt|UbiArt Framework}}, interacts with the player. Most of these [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] are dedicated to {{rw|Rayman Origins}} and {{rw|Rayman Legends}}, but a third category was also presented - Rayman Universe, which includes puzzles with the main characters of both the main styles already presented and projects that did not make it to this list, such as {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}}, {{rw|Rayman M|Rayman M/Arena}}, {{rw|Rayman & les Moldies|Rayman and The Moldies}} and many others.

Special mention should be made of the themes playing in {{rw|Rayman Raving Rabbids (mobile phone)|Rayman Raving Rabbids (Mobile)}} style locations, which are expanded versions of the original jingles.

* The initial working title for the game was Rayman Lum'o'Cross. It was also mistakenly mentioned in some early game advertisements.

* [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] design is based on one of the early {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}} storyboards, which features an unknown woman. Thus, [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] in Rayman Lum'o'Grams is the realization of two scrapped characters at once.
