## What is Zebra Puzzle?

Most well-known logic puzzle of the last century. The task of the riddle is as follows: there are 5 houses in a row. People of 5 nationalities live in them. Each of the 5 inhabitants keeps a certain pet, drinks a beverage and smokes a brand of cigarettes. Having 15 rules your goal is to solve the riddle and find out everything about the people. 

It seems quite simple at first sight. But it is sometimes claimed that if you can solve this riddle without different items (including pen and paper) your intellectual nature can be considered as part of 2% of the most intelligent people on earth. 

If you can not solve the riddle on your own, why not try this application. We offer a user-friendly interface for visualization of logical reasoning. 

Before you start the game, please read carefully the following statements which may be useful for you: 
- A double-click on the item will highlight it. It will help you mark the items in the right positions from all those you are not sure of; 
- You can cross out any of the rules in the list by clicking them. It will help you sort the verified rules out from unverified while doing the puzzle; 
- Getting the tip please be aware that the item will be placed in the house of the proper color but the house itself may be located in the wrong position relative to the others; 
- As soon as all the items and houses are in the right positions you will get a notification and the game is over; 

Good luck with the Riddle!

### 1/5 — Я никогда не писала отзыв на эту игру

*2026-02-10*

Зашла в свою учетку. А у меня отзыв на эту игру

### 4/5 — There’s only one puzzle

*2022-09-18*

The game was cool, but once I solved it the only option was to start over.

### 1/5 — No support

*2022-06-20*

Played the first game but it won’t advance to the next game.  Just says congratulations do you want to solve that puzzle again.

### 4/5 — Fun, but very short and difficult to work with

*2021-11-18*

I solved the puzzle, and that was all it was: one puzzle. It was fun and just hard enough to keep me engaged, but I play a lot of these logic puzzles. I wish there had been more puzzles. The only way to "lock" an answer in is to fix it to the house, instead of, say, fixing the fish to the Englishman or the beer to the American. This makes it difficult to keep track of things. 

Also, the UI is a bit weird to work with. Instead of the solutions being stuck on the page for you to continue consulting while looking at the puzzle, you have to "pull" another page down that just feels a bit odd.

Overall, it's a pretty fun, if very short, puzzle. I definitely recommend playing other logic/Einstein puzzles if you enjoyed this one. I'll give it 4 stars, regardless of whatever issues I had, to support the devs because I had fun.

### 2/5 — Only one challenge

*2021-10-24*

I really loved the graphics and it was really fun to solve but there was only one game. If there were multiple games and levels of difficulty, this game would be amazing!

### 2/5 — Cute but Non-Functional

*2021-08-30*

I really love the interactive way this is set up. However, it makes the puzzle non-functional. This should have drop-down menus that cause each thing to change so that your already-placed answers are not getting shifted around every time you move something else into position.

### 2/5 — Всего одна игра.

*2021-03-08*

Пройдя первый уровень, ждёшь второй, а там та же задача. Но это и понятно, если разработчики в условиях задачи пишут «краССный».

### 1/5 — Зебра

*2021-01-31*

Прошла один уровень, но при переходе к следующему открывается опять первый! Прошла его несколько раз, но ничего не поменялось, ничего нового не появилось! Все также первый!!! Поддержки ПО нет, написать некому!!!

### 4/5 — Meh

*2020-07-17*

It’s an okay game. But there’s no way to know if your answer is right or not.

### 4/5 — Мне этого мало!

*2019-09-07*

Почему такая короткая? Прошла первый уровень и все. Перезагрузилась и выдала опять те же тезисы. Так и должно быть?Разочарована
