Connect with your intuition. Master the grid. Hextra is a daily logic puzzle that blends strategy, memory, and a sixth sense. Every day, a new hexagonal web is generated with a single hidden goal: the Heart. Your mission is to find it using as few scans as possible. HOW IT WORKS Tap any node to send a "Pulse." The network reveals how far you are from the target—but not the direction. * 3 means you are 3 hops away. * 1 means you're right next to it. * Triangulate the signal to zero in on the solution. NAVIGATE THE OBSTACLES The grid isn't just empty space. Watch out for: * Ruptures: Broken links that block your path. * Signal Dampeners: Heavy zones that distort distance. * Static Interference: Glitched nodes that give fuzzy, unreliable data. * Fading Signals: Clues that vanish after 3 seconds—test your memory! TRACK YOUR STATS Every scan analyzes your performance: * Logic: Did you triangulate efficiently? * Luck: Did you beat the odds? * Speed: How fast is your mind? Share your daily "Hextra" card with friends and compare your scores. PRIVACY FIRST Hextra is designed for you, not your data. * No Ads. * No Tracking. * No Account Required. * Works Offline. One puzzle. Once a day. Can you find the heart of the Hextra?

Hex Beam is a logic puzzle game about guiding light through a hexagonal board. Turn the tiles to direct each colored beam to its matching target. A mirror that connects one beam can send another in the wrong direction. Find the arrangement that connects them all. Start with simple reflections, then discover new ways to control the light. Split a beam into multiple paths. Send it through portals to another part of the board. Turn linked tile groups together, changing several paths with a single move. As the puzzles become more complex, each tile becomes part of a larger problem. Follow the beams, work out how the paths interact, and test your solution. Watch the light change as you turn each tile. Play through increasingly complex levels, or try a new daily puzzle. Hints and a puzzle guide are available when you need help. Turn the tiles. Find the path. Connect every color.
