Lanterna Grid is a quiet logic puzzle about light.
Every grid is split into coloured regions. Place one lantern in each region so that no two lanterns share a row or a column - and no two ever touch, not even at a corner. That is the whole game. There is nothing to learn beyond those four rules, and everything to work out.
No guessing, ever. Every puzzle has exactly one solution and every solution can be reached by pure deduction. Each one is verified twice before it ships: once by an exhaustive solver, and once by the same reasoning engine that writes the hints.
