What This Game Is
Tents is a self-contained logic puzzle built around one clear objective. Each new board gives you a fresh problem to solve, so it works well for quick sessions and repeated play.
Place a tent next to each tree.
How to Play
Left-clicking in a blank square will place a tent in it. Right-clicking in a blank square will colour it green, indicating that you are sure it isn't a tent. Clicking either button in an occupied square will clear it. If you drag with the right button along a row or column, every blank square in the region you cover will be turned green, and no other squares will be affected. (This is useful for clearing the remainder of a row once you have placed all its tents.)
Most puzzles in this collection reward deduction more than speed. Focus on the most limited choices first, use the clues to narrow the board, and avoid guesses unless the puzzle mode clearly expects them.
Beginner Tips
- Start with the area that has the strongest clue or the fewest legal options.
- Use marks, notes, or temporary indicators if the puzzle supports them.
- Try to preserve flexibility instead of committing too early when multiple moves look possible.
- If the board gets messy, restart a fresh puzzle and apply what you learned from the first run.
