Puzzle Area is a clean and engaging logic puzzle game where every number guides you to the correct area. Each level contains a board made of square cells. Your goal is to find rectangular areas that match the numbers on the board. If a number says 5, you need to select an area made of exactly 5 squares. Complete all areas correctly and the board fills with color. The game starts with quick and simple levels, then gradually introduces larger boards, trickier layouts, and more creative puzzle shapes. As you progress, you unlock new layers and face more challenging boards that require careful thinking.
