Discover a fresh kind of logic puzzle: place crystals across a hexagonal grid and solve every board by pure deduction—never guessing. Inspired by the satisfying constraints of Sudoku, HexDoku uses a completely different board and four simple rules: • Place exactly one crystal in every ascending lane. • Place exactly one crystal in every descending lane. • Place exactly one crystal in each color region. • Keep crystals from touching neighboring hexes. Mark impossible spaces with Xs, follow the crossing lanes, and watch each deduction open the next move. There is no arithmetic, and every puzzle has a unique solution. A HUGE PUZZLE JOURNEY • Explore 55,260 puzzles across three magical campaigns. • Start with quick, compact boards and advance to Hard and Arcane challenges. • Progress through chapters, unlock new paths, and return anytime with automatic saving. HELP THAT ACTUALLY TEACHES • Learn the rules with an interactive tutorial and guided lessons. • Use reasoned hints that explain why spaces can be eliminated or where a crystal belongs. • Choose Reveal when you want help placing the next crystal. MASTER EVERY SOLVE • Build a Spellchain with consecutive correct placements. • Protect your lives to earn up to three stars. • Track best times, high scores, daily streaks, and detailed progress. • Complete milestones, collect Stardust rewards, and challenge the Game Center leaderboard. PLAY YOUR WAY • Display regions with colors, numbers, or symbols. • Turn sound and haptics on or off. • Play the complete puzzle campaign offline with no required account. • No ads interrupt your focus.
