About Shikaku Puzzle
Shikaku is a cozy, hand-crafted Japanese logic puzzle. Divide the board into rectangles so that each rectangle contains exactly one number equal to its area. No timers stealing your fun, no ads breaking your flow — just clean, calm, tactile puzzling. Simple to learn. Endlessly satisfying. WHAT'S INSIDE • 25 tiers of hand-tuned campaign difficulty, from cozy 5×5 up to 20×16 • Daily challenge — a fresh 9×9 puzzle every day, seeded the same for all players • Weekly challenge — a big 13×13 board that resets every Monday • Free Play — any board from 4×4 up to 25×25, five difficulty modes, 16 quick presets (Compact, Classic, Skyscraper, Panorama, Extreme…) • 24 hand-picked pastel color palettes to unlock and switch between • 28 achievements grouped by category, each with a coin reward • Live solve timer with best & average time tracking • Streak tracking across daily challenges • Complete statistics — puzzles solved, coins earned, longest streak, and more DESIGNED WITH CARE • Soft pastel palette with premium gradients, glossy highlights and layered shadows • Delightful micro-animations: coin leaves flying to your balance, streak flame flicker, achievement toasts • Staggered card reveals, smooth transitions everywhere • Dynamic Island-aware layout, dark & light modes • Full VoiceOver, Reduce Motion, and Dynamic Type support • Fully localized in English and Russian HOW TO PLAY 1. The board is filled with numbered clues. 2. Draw a rectangle by dragging across cells. 3. Each rectangle must contain exactly one clue. 4. The clue's number equals the rectangle's area (width × height). 5. Rectangles cannot overlap and together must cover every cell. That's the whole rule set. Simple to learn, endlessly satisfying to master. No account required. No internet needed. No ads, no interruptions. Just you, the numbers, and a quiet moment.
