Crossums is the first release in the Figured series of puzzle games — sharp rules, real depth, no ads or timers. HOW TO PLAY Each puzzle gives you a grid with a few cells already filled in. Complete the rest using 1–9 so every row and column adds up to its target. Later puzzles add overlapping regions, so a single cell can be doing three jobs at once. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Feedback Mode — rows, columns, and regions light up as soon as they're satisfied, and the puzzle auto-completes the moment everything lines up. • Classic Mode — no hints along the way. Submit when you think you've got it. SCORING THAT REWARDS A CLEAN SOLVE In Classic Mode, get it right on your first submission to earn the First Try diamond. Any other path to a solve — hints on, or a wrong guess along the way — still earns a star. Skip a puzzle and come back later — no penalty, no pressure. 600 PUZZLES, 15 CHAPTERS, 3 VOLUMES Volume 1: Foundations — 200 puzzles, included with the app. Volume 2: Regions — 200 more puzzles introducing region constraints. Available as an in-app purchase. Volume 3: Crossings — 200 puzzles of the sharpest region-crossing grids. Available as an in-app purchase. A bundle unlocking Volumes 2 and 3 together is also available. YOUR PROGRESS, EVERYWHERE No accounts to create — your progress syncs automatically across your devices with iCloud. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. Just the grid. Play at your own pace — light and dark themes, adjustable sound and haptics.
