About

Outlogic

Features
Read full description

Follow a trail of logic puzzles across illustrated floating islands. Read the clues, arrange the characters in order or split them into teams, and check whether your board satisfies every rule. Then use that completed arrangement as a visual reference while answering what must or could be true. Outlogic rewards careful reasoning: compare possibilities, learn from hints and examples, and practice a missed deduction without changing your original score. Earn XP and badges as you clear new islands. Levels 1–10 are free. Try free, fixed ordering and grouping samples from levels 11 and 12. Full Access is an optional one-time purchase to continue the journey beyond level 10. No subscription, no ads, and no account required. Puzzles and progress run on your device. Outlogic uses original puzzle content for skill practice. It is not affiliated with any official exam or test maker.
