Read full description

Every little pet is hiding somewhere, waiting for you to find it. Study the colors, mark impossible spots, and uncover every pet step by step. The rules are simple: each row, column, and color region contains one pet. Pets cannot be next to each other, even diagonally. From your first deduction to the final pet revealed, enjoy the satisfaction of solving each puzzle yourself. Game highlights: • Easy to learn, rewarding to master: start with introductory puzzles and use logic to tackle increasingly complex boards. • A fresh daily challenge: put your reasoning to the test and join other players on the leaderboards. • Adorable companions to unlock: discover new pets as you progress and let your favorites join you on your journey. • Hints that make sense: when you get stuck, visual clues and explanations help you understand the next step—not just the answer. • A cozy moment of puzzling: soft colors, cute pets, and gentle music turn thoughtful play into a relaxing break. Ready to begin? Start with a single square and find your next pet companion.

About

Dateo

Read full description

Dateo takes the logic of Mastermind and applies it to dates. Enter a complete date, then use the colors to get closer to the solution: • Green: the digit is in the right place. • Yellow: the digit is in the date, but in a different position. • Gray: the digit does not appear in the solution. Try by try, eliminate possibilities, combine the clues, and find the date within six attempts. Choose the date format that suits you: DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, and other options available in Settings. Once you solve the puzzle, discover the event associated with that date. OVER 3,000 PUZZLES TO SOLVE Dateo includes more than 3,000 dates across 20 themed packs: the 80s, the 90s, Great Movies, Music, Space Exploration, Wars and Conflicts, Technology, Sports, the 20th Century, and many more. Each pack has its own period, theme, and difficulty level. Earn stars as you play and use them to unlock the packs that interest you. You choose your own path. GUESS FIRST, DISCOVER AFTER You do not need to know the event to solve the puzzle. Dateo is all about deduction: enter a date, interpret the colors, and gradually narrow down the possibilities. Once you find the answer, Dateo reveals what happened that day: movies, historical events, music releases, sporting achievements, technological breakthroughs, space exploration, and more. More than 3,000 facts accompany the puzzles without ever revealing the answer before the game is over. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY Every day at midnight, a new puzzle is available to everyone. Solve the daily challenge, keep your streak going, and track your performance over time.
