Magic Grid Box is a calm, friendly logic puzzle for phones and tablets. Fill every grid so that each symbol appears exactly once in every row and every column - a Latin square, the same idea behind Sudoku, but with playful picture symbols instead of numbers. Designed to be relaxing and completely frustration-free, it is a great fit for kids and grown-ups alike. There is no failure state: if a symbol would break the rule, it simply springs back, so the grid can never end up wrong. FEATURES - 5 themed boxes: Sport, Farm, Pirates, Vehicles and Cosmos - 100 hand-tuned levels - 4x4 grids to start, 5x5 grids to master - Two ways to play: drag and drop, or tap a symbol then tap a cell - Gentle, juicy feedback and a satisfying fusion animation on every solve - Unlock the next box as you progress - Plays in portrait and landscape, on phone and tablet NO PRESSURE, NO TRACKING - No ads - No in-app purchases - No accounts and no internet required - play fully offline - No data collected - your progress is saved only on your device Sit back, think it through, and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly filled grid.
