Fillomino Go is a colorful number region logic puzzle built for quick breaks and deep solves. Play anywhere—even offline—with no full-screen ads interrupting your puzzles. HOW TO PLAY Each clue tells you the size of its connected region. For example a 4 must belong to a region of four cells. Be careful, regions with the same size cannot touch along an edge. Fill the grid by growing and separating regions with careful logic. NEW TO FILLOMINO? The rules are easy to pick up, but larger boards create rich spatial deduction. If you enjoy Sudoku, Shikaku, Nurikabe, Kakuro, Nonogram puzzles, or other Japanese logic games, Fillomino offers a different kind of number challenge: no rows to complete and no sums to calculate. PLAY YOUR WAY • Free Play: Explore thousands of puzzles across multiple grid sizes. • Daily Puzzles: Solve a fresh Easy, Medium, or Hard challenge each day. • Time Trial: Race the clock, fill as much of the grid as you can, and improve your score. • Adventure Mode: Progress through chapters as the boards become more challenging. FEATURES • No full-screen ads interrupting your puzzles • Offline play for commutes, flights, and quiet breaks • Colorful number regions that make completed groups easy to read • Smooth touch-and-drag controls designed for phones and tablets • Helpful hints when you need a nudge • Quick beginner boards and larger puzzles for experienced solvers • Dark mode for comfortable play • Optional color labels that help distinguish regions without relying on color alone • Progress and achievements to keep you moving START SMALL. THINK BIGGER. Learn the Fillomino rules on approachable grids, then move into larger boards that reward planning, spatial reasoning, and careful deduction.

A BIG HAUL. Match different shapes of the same color to collect that color. Match the same shape in different colors to collect that shape. Match both to narrow the haul.
