Looking for a puzzle that calms you down and works your brain at the same time? Welcome to Pick Hex - pure logic puzzle, where every number is a clue and every gem is a buried treasure. One mission: read the numbers, and dig out every gem. Simple rules, deep strategy: • The Clue: every number counts the gems hidden in the tiles touching it - nothing more, nothing less • The Dig: tap a tile to dig. There is no undo, so be sure before you commit • The Clear: satisfy a number and it clears itself off the board, getting you one step closer to the solution New mechanics as you go: • Big gems spanning several tiles - dig up every piece to claim them • Locked numbers that stay silent until you unearth the buried key • Crates hiding whole sections of the board, blasted open by a fuse • The pickaxe, for the one tile you cannot crack Why Pick Hex stays on your phone: • No timer, ever. Think for five seconds or five minutes • Play offline - built for commutes, queues and coffee breaks • Levels never run out, you can play as long as you want • Seconds to learn, and the logic keeps turning in your head long after you put the phone down Ready to put your logic to the test?
