Egg Hunt Grid: free spring logic game to train deduction

What is Egg Hunt Grid?

Zip has hidden painted eggs in a spring garden split into flower beds. Every row, every column and every bed shows how many eggs it hides. Use those counts, and a few squares already dug up, to find every egg without guessing. Four gardens, from 4×4 to 6×6, each with exactly one answer.

Egg Hunt Grid is a free spring logic puzzle with Zip. Painted eggs are hidden in a garden split into coloured flower beds. Every row, every column and every bed shows how many eggs it hides, and sometimes a square or two is already dug up. From those counts alone you can work out where every egg is.

There are four gardens, from a small 4×4 to a 6×6, and each has exactly one answer, so you never need to guess. Clues turn green when they're complete and red when you've placed too many. Stuck? A hint marks one square and tells you the reasoning behind it, so you learn the trick for next time.

How to play

Read the counts

The number at the end of a row, on top of a column or in the corner of a flower bed is how many eggs hide there.

Mark the squares

Tap a square to cycle egg, grass (no egg) and empty. Arrow keys move, Enter marks. Ringed squares are already dug up.

Deduce, don't guess

A full clue turns the rest to grass; a clue with exactly enough open squares makes them all eggs. Every garden has one answer.

Score

100 points per garden, +25 per level, a speed bonus under par and −30 per hint. Each hint explains its reasoning.

Scoring

100 points per garden, +25 for each harder garden

A speed bonus: 1 point per second under par (40 to 90 seconds)

−30 per hint, never below 20 points for a solved garden

What it trains

Deductive logic

Turn a few counts into answers that must be true, with no guessing.

Working with constraints

Every square belongs to a row, a column and a bed: one fact feeds all three.

Checking your work

Clues turn green or red, so you spot a contradiction as soon as it appears.

Strategy and tips

Start with zeros

A row, column or bed with 0 eggs is all grass. Mark it first: it shrinks every clue it crosses.

Look for full houses

If a clue needs 3 eggs and only 3 squares are still open, all 3 are eggs.

Count down

Subtract the eggs you've already found from a clue. What's left is what still hides there.

Cross-check

Each square sits in a row, a column and a bed. A fact from one of them often unlocks the other two.

Mark grass, too

Marking squares with no egg is as useful as finding eggs: it makes the next full house easier to spot.

Why play Egg Hunt Grid?

Deductive logic means reaching an answer that must be true from the facts you have, instead of guessing. It's the same thinking behind debugging, checking a budget or solving a schedule: narrow the options until only one is left. Egg Hunt Grid trains it with small, friendly steps you can explain out loud.
