Brain Puzzle Games
Sit a puppy in every row, column and colour patch — without letting any two touch. Boards start at a gentle 4×4 and grow to an 11×11 that will absolutely humble you. Every single one is solvable by logic alone.
Puzzby makes cozy logic games for people who want the satisfying part of a puzzle — the click when it finally makes sense. Every board we ship is solvable by pure deduction. No guessing, ever.
Free to play · iOS coming soon
Watch it solve itself.
How to play
Place one puppy in every row, every column, and every colour region — and never let two of them touch.
Every row and every column holds exactly one puppy. Never two, never none.
The board is carved into colour regions. Each one gets a single puppy — and the row and column rules still hold.
A puppy blocks all eight cells around it — corners included. They like their space.

The next Puzzby game is in the sketchbook. Same rule: if it needs a guess, it doesn't ship.
Why it feels good
Every board has exactly one solution, reachable by deduction. If a level ever needed a coin flip, our generator throws it away.
Stuck? A hint doesn't hand you the answer — it explains the next move in plain words and shows you where to look.
One fresh puzzle every day, the same board for everyone, with a timer running. Come back tomorrow for the next one.
Mark up the board however you like. A whole swipe of notes undoes in one tap, so exploring an idea never costs you.
Every move is saved. Close the app mid-puzzle, come back next week, and the board is exactly as you left it.
A long campaign that ramps from 4×4 to 11×11, then keeps going. There's always one more board.
Stuck on a board, hit a bug, or just want to tell us the puppies are cute? A real person reads every message.
