Get in. Get out. Don't get caught. Heisty is a daily, competitive logic puzzle where you are the mastermind behind a high-stakes heist. Compete in the heist each day to earn cash and gold, and then enter the black market to buy and sell famous pieces of art. Each day brings you a new target. To earn your cut, you must pull off the 3 stages of the heist: Recon - In this version of the classic Queens puzzle, you must determine where all of the security cameras are on the floor plan. There is exactly one camera in every room, row, and column, and no two cameras can touch. Breach - After finding the security cameras, you must use logic and a set of clues to determine the correct entry sequence into the building. Vault - Now that you've made it past security, the vault is all that stands between you and your prize. Use intel from your team to determine the combination for the vault and then make a quick getaway with your loot. Good luck, and welcome to the Crew.

Behind Junction Nine is a published mathematical result: in a 3×3 grid where any rectangle can be spun 180 degrees, every arrangement can be returned to order - and never in more than nine spins. We designed the puzzles and independently calculated the fewest spins each one takes. See if you can match the minimum. HOW IT WORKS Spin any rectangular section of the grid 180°. Remember - squares count as rectangles. A move can shift several pieces at once, so fixing one connection can disrupt another. Rotate tiles until every connection lines up. Then keep going: can you match the fewest possible spins? Every puzzle has a proven minimum. ORIGIN — FREE Start with Origin, a collection that introduces the mechanic and builds from simple puzzles to genuinely tricky ones. TRANSFER Unlock a second collection with a new set of puzzles to master. DESIGNED FOR THINKING - No ads - No timers or penalties - Optional haptic feedback and sound - Light and dark themes - More puzzle packs planned Quick to learn. Surprisingly hard to perfect.
