## What is Pips Game?

Pips Game blends classic dominoes with brain-teasing logic puzzles. Place domino tiles on a color-coded grid, match each region's mathematical rule, and solve increasingly challenging levels.

【HOW TO PLAY】
Select a domino from the tray, rotate it with a double-tap, and place it on the grid. Each colored region has a rule — the pips must add up to a specific number, all be equal, all be different, or meet other constraints. Satisfy every region to solve the puzzle.

【FIVE REGION RULES】
- Sum Equals: pips must total a specific number
- All Equal: every cell has the same value
- All Different: no repeated values
- Less Than / Greater Than: sets bounds on the total

【THREE DIFFICULTY TIERS】
Start with beginner-friendly 3x3 grids and progress to demanding 6x6 boards with up to 16 dominoes.

【CLIMB THE RANKS】
Earn points and advance through 10 tiers — from Beginner to Queen Bee. Track your stats and revisit completed levels anytime.

【DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE】
Frosted-glass UI with Light, Dark, and Auto themes. Sound effects, haptic feedback, and auto-save. Available in 15 languages.

【OPTIONAL PREMIUM】
Remove all ads with an optional subscription for a distraction-free experience.

### 1/5 — Feels like lazy auto-generated puzzles

*2026-08-11, version 1.11*

This is too easy… repetitive tiles, too generous with the “not equals” areas even in hard mode, and a lot of no-brainer moves. Not to mention the minuscule typeface and no contrast between colored colors and white text so it’s very difficult to read even with my young eyes. I love the NYT pips and downloaded this to feed my addiction, but feels less like a brain teaser and more like a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2026-07-29, version 1.10*

Not challenging enough each level take around 3 minutes hard or easy where I think most people rather it's actually hard and takes a while

### 5/5 — Pips

*2026-06-24, version 1.07*

Type too small

### 2/5 — just annoying to operate

*2026-06-15, version 1.05*

can’t drag the tiles, hard to tell which tile squares belong to the same tile, etc etc

### 2/5 — Non-distinct dominoes

*2026-06-04, version 1.05*

The whole challenge in Pips is that every domino is unique, and you fit it all together like a puzzle, using the rules and limitations of the board. This app allows for duplicate tiles (e.g. two 2-3s) in your hand, which significantly reduces the challenge. Still decent enough I guess, but that lowers the quality for me and doesn’t incentivize me to play.

### 3/5 — Needs QOL

*2026-05-20, version 1.05*

When the dominoes go on the grid, they're shown as two halves and there's no way to tell which two halves belong together. The requirements for each region cover up the faces of the dominoes in larger puzzles.

### 3/5 — Not challenging enough

*2026-03-31, version 1.03*

I get bored with this game if the puzzles are too easy, but you can’t choose your difficulty and leveling up is grueling - you get I think 20 points per game and need *hundreds* of points to advance. I’m trying to slog through to get to the good part, but there was a recent update that made the game even easier by putting in a few pieces at the start of the game and there’s no setting that I can find to remove this. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to keep up if I don’t advance soon, there’s no fun in finishing a puzzle in 30 seconds.

### 5/5 — Pips

*2026-02-27, version 1.0*

Fun!!
