Marupeke is a pure logic and brain-training puzzle that challenges your ability to think ahead, spot patterns, and make strategic choices.

Key Features • Pure Logic Gameplay - No guessing, no luck, just clear and fair puzzles. • Brain-Boosting Fun - Improve pattern recognition, logical deduction, and problem-solving. • Simple Rules, Deep Challenge - Easy to learn, endlessly challenging to master. • Multiple Grid Sizes - From quick 6×6 boards to epic 12×12 brain workouts. • Infinite Replay Value - Every puzzle is unique, ensuring fresh challenges each time. Why You’ll Love Marupeke Marupeke combines the simplicity of classic pen-and-paper puzzles with the depth of abstract strategy games. There’s no random chance and no hidden information — every puzzle can be solved using pure logic. The satisfaction of completing a board is 100% earned. Whether you want a relaxing mental workout or a daily brain challenge, Marupeke delivers. It’s perfect for fans of Sudoku, Nonograms, Trios, Symbic, Mahjong, and other logic-based puzzles — yet offers its own distinct rules and patterns to explore.

Tiny Neighbors
Read full descriptionHide full description
One neighbor lives directly above another. Okay, that's settled. But who gets the other rooms? Tiny Neighbors is a logic puzzle game where you work out who lives in each room. All the visual clues are available from the start. Follow them, place the neighbors, and figure out how everyone fits. One clue points to a floor. Another connects two neighbors. A third starts to make sense once you've found a room for someone else. At first, one connection is enough. In the trickier puzzles, you'll need to connect several clues and keep track of the whole arrangement. Each house is a deduction puzzle you can solve without guessing. Sometimes the answer comes quickly. Sometimes you return to a clue after a few moves. Once everything fits, you can see why each neighbor belongs in that room. Solve it, and watch the house come to life. The next level brings a different arrangement to work out.
