Panda Nap
A logic puzzle about sleepy pandas, where every board is solvable by pure reasoning.
Overview
Settle one panda in every grove, row and column, and no two may touch. A snoring panda blocks its row, its column and every cell around it. Boards grow from 4×4 to 9×9.
The theme is the ruleset: a napping panda's "Zzz" mark exactly the cells you can't use. Three moons give you three mistakes, and every placement is graded the moment it lands.
A shared puzzle engine runs in the app, on the server and in the admin dashboard, so all three agree on every board, every hint and every score.
Under the hood
The features that took real engineering
- 01
Generated boards, guaranteed fair
A generator and solver make sure every board can be finished by deduction alone, at four difficulty levels. No board ever requires a guess.
- 02
Hints that are always right
A hint places the one panda that logic can already reach: a single sure step, never a guess.
- 03
Dreams, a sandbox for ideas
Try up to three pandas with the moons frozen and nothing graded. It's priced on purpose so it can't replace thinking.
- 04
An economy that can't be farmed
Bamboo is earned for finished boards and clean runs. Replaying a solved board for the same score pays nothing, and the prices are designed against brute force.
- 05
Live operations
Daily puzzles, leaderboards, gifts and a puzzle "forge" are managed from a live admin dashboard. Character skins are sold in the in-game shop.
