Overview

Use clues to solve logic puzzles, when you think you have the answer submit to see if you were correct

Note: In Bird & Jungle each creature is in a single space, whilst in Hotel creatures can share spaces

Scoring

If you're playing solo, your score is based on the time it takes you to solve the puzzles. The lower the time, the better the score.

In multiplayer, for each puzzle, players are ranked by the time it takes them to solve it. The player who finishes first earns points equal to the number of players. The second player earns one point less than the first, and so on. Additionally, the first player receives a bonus amount of points. This bonus is displayed to the left of the puzzle list.

Daily Challenge

Each day, 5 random puzzles in normal difficulty mode are selected. All the results are displayed in a global leaderboard.

Be careful, you can play the daily challenge multiple times, but be sure to finish your first daily challenge game before starting another; otherwise, your ranking will not be valid. To be valid, each puzzle you play must not have been seen by you in the same daily challenge with the same BGA account.

Interface tips

To help you keep track of the clues you still need to process, you can click on a clue to gray it out. You can also click on locations to gray them out.

There are two options available for the double-click action:

The default setting sends a character back to their starting position.

The other setting allows you to lock characters like this :

If you double-click on a character you have placed, it will be locked. Double-click again to unlock it. You can also send a character to a location and lock it automatically by double-clicking on the location where you want to place your character.

When you click the 'reset' button, locked characters remain in place. Click the 'reset' button a second time to bring all characters back.

Additional statistics

Each time a player finishes a puzzle, they can see a statistic that has no impact on the score. This statistic compares the player’s time to all previously recorded results. For example, Top 1% means that the player ranks within the top 1% of the best times. The possible values are: Top 1%, Top 5%, Top 10%, Top 25%, and Top 50%. If nothing is displayed, the player's result is below the top 50%.
