Play HexagridA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Hexagrid is a compact daily geography game that asks players to discover the nine métropolitain départements that complete a 3x3 grid according to the criteria shown on the board. Each département may be used only once in the grid. The game focuses on knowledge of France's 96 mainland departments and logical deduction to fit rows and columns simultaneously.
The site displays a single new challenge every day and records your current progress locally in your browser so you can continue the same daily game across sessions. The scoring system rewards correct answers and completed lines, applies penalties for mistakes, and awards a large bonus for completing the full grid. The game can be installed to your device for quick access from the home screen.
How to play Hexagrid
- Read the rule or criterion shown at the top of the page which defines what departments are valid for this puzzle.
- Click a cell in the 3x3 grid to choose a département to place there from the map or list.
- Place departments so that every row and every column meets its respective criterion while ensuring no department is used more than once.
- Submit choices as you play; the interface tracks errors and updates your score according to the scoring rules shown.
Tips for Hexagrid
- Start with cells whose criteria are the most restrictive to reduce possibilities for overlapping rows and columns.
- Remember a département cannot be reused, so mark candidates that appear in multiple intersecting lines before committing.
- Aim to complete full lines where possible to collect the +10 points per completed row or column and the +40 full-grid bonus.
- Avoid random guesses because each error subtracts 10 points and reduces your maximum achievable score.
