This is a game that will bring back memories of playing as a child, when you would trace the numbers in order to complete a picture. In this puzzle game, the numbers in squares of the same color are linked together to complete the picture. It is easy to play and may be good for brain training.



This is a simple game in which the object is to connect numbers of the same color. The number "2" in the puzzle means that the numbers in the squares of the same color make up two squares. If the number is "7", the puzzle consists of 7 squares, and if the number is "3", the puzzle consists of 3 squares. The same numbers must always be connected to each other. By the way, "1" is one square, so it does not need to be connected. It is easier to solve the puzzle if you start from the smallest number.
