Hexcells Plus is a single-player logic puzzle game played on hexagonal grids. Your task is to determine which cells are filled and which are empty by interpreting the clues on each board.
Clues provide counts tied to lines and groups of cells. The puzzles add blue-cell clues, including counts for a wider area, and question-mark cells with hidden counts; combining clues helps narrow down the possibilities.
The game contains 36 puzzles that build on the series’ existing rules and introduce more complex combinations. Later boards call for more careful observation and multi-step deduction, and there is no clock pushing you to solve them quickly.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the focused deduction and the greater challenge of the later puzzles, with some describing the satisfaction of finding the next logical step. Several also appreciate the calm music and unhurried pace. Opinions differ on the difficulty: some find the tougher boards rewarding, while others find them tiring or feel that parts require guessing.
