How the game works
Play unfolds on hexagonal grids where numerical hints indicate how many adjacent cells meet particular conditions. By interpreting those numbers and marking cells accordingly, you gradually reveal the correct pattern. Hexcells Plus increases the subtleties in those clues and pattern interactions, so planning ahead and re-evaluating possibilities are often required to solve later puzzles. The full-license build removes restrictions, allowing uninterrupted access to every puzzle.
