Nurikabe: Islands & Walls is a brilliant Japanese logic puzzle that transforms your screen into a mental battleground of islands and walls. The goal is simple: reveal hidden islands based on the clues provided by numbers in the grid.
Each numbered cell tells you how large that island should be. But beware — islands can’t touch each other, and walls must remain one single continuous mass. This creates an elegant challenge that forces you to think logically, visually, and creatively.
With dozens of puzzles ranging from easy to mind-melting, beautiful minimal visuals, and a relaxing soundtrack, Nurikabe offers a deep, satisfying gameplay experience for fans of Sudoku, Picross, and other brain games.
Stimulating logic puzzles that make you think creatively.
Enjoy hours of gameplay with 100+ handcrafted puzzles.
A clean and colorful interface made for puzzle lovers.
The goal of Nurikabe is to divide a grid into "islands" and "walls" based on numbers provided in some of the cells. Each number represents an island, and the value indicates the total number of squares that make up that island, including the cell with the number.
Islands must be separate from one another — they cannot be connected horizontally or vertically. The remaining squares, which are not part of any island, form the "Nurikabe" — a single continuous area of connected wall cells.
There are two important rules: the wall (Nurikabe) must be connected throughout the entire puzzle with no isolated sections, and no 2x2 block of wall cells is allowed. Solving the puzzle requires both logical deduction and careful planning!
