Queens Arena

Read full description

Queens Arena is the logic puzzle you race. Place one queen in every row, every column and every colour — no two touching, not even diagonally — and solve the board faster than everyone else: in today's dailies, on Portal boards, live against your friends, or in the Arena. TODAY'S DAILIES Three new challenges every day, the same for everyone: • The daily puzzle — one board, one attempt. See how your time compares with everyone who played today. • The Daily Tower — a climb of timed levels that grow as you go. Your total time is ranked. • Today's Portal — the day's board with its edges joined. Finish all three for a grand slam. Keep your streak going day after day — a Streak Freeze covers a day you miss. PORTAL Queens with the edges joined. On a Cylinder the left and right sides meet, so a queen in the first column touches the last one too. On a Torus every edge joins. Same rules, new ways to touch — boards from 6x6 to 11x11. LIVE: RACE YOUR FRIENDS Host a match, share the code and play in real time: • Battle — up to four players race the same puzzle. Fastest solve wins. • Team Play — solve one board together, or go 2v2 against another pair. • Race a single board, a whole Tower or a Portal board. ARENA CHALLENGES Post your time on a board you solved, and everyone gets one try to beat it within 24 hours. Defend your time to earn coins, knock down other players' times, or call out up to five friends in a private duel. HOW TO PLAY Every row, every column and every colour region gets exactly one queen, and no two queens may touch. Tap once to rule a square out, twice to place a queen — auto-cross marks everything that queen rules out. Every board has exactly one solution and can always be solved by logic — you never have to guess. Stuck? Check your board up to three times. Boards run from 5x5 to 13x13. CLIMB THE RANKS Daily, Tower, Portal, weekly and all-time leaderboards. Every solve earns coins that raise your level, and daily goals fill a chest with more. Spend them on themes and board styles — everything is cosmetic. Start solving right away, no account needed — solo play even works offline. Sign in to play the dailies, race live, take on the Arena and keep your progress on every device. Daily puzzle duels. Climb the ranks.
