Tents
Pitch a tent beside every tree.
A calm logic puzzle in a small wood. Every tree needs its own tent, pitched right beside it, above, below, left or right. Tents never touch each other, not even at a corner, and the numbers along the edges tell how many tents stand in each row and column. Every field has exactly one answer you can reach by reasoning alone, on 6 by 6, 8 by 8 or 10 by 10 squares, and every day brings a new field, the same for everyone.

How to play
Tap a square to pitch a tent, tap again to mark it as grass, and once more to clear it. Grass is only your note that no tent goes there. Every tree gets its own tent beside it, straight above, below, left or right; tents never touch, not even diagonally; each number tells how many tents its row or column holds. A number dims once its line is complete and turns red if it holds too many, and tapping a number turns every empty square in its line to grass. Your score is your time, and a hint fixes a wrong mark or pitches a right tent for 30 seconds on the clock.
What is Tents?
Tents is a calm logic puzzle set in a small wood. The field is a grid with a few trees on it, and every tree needs its own tent pitched right beside it: straight above, below, left or right. Tents never touch each other, not even at a corner, and the numbers along the edges tell how many tents stand in each row and column.
Every field has exactly one answer, and it can always be reached by reasoning, never by guessing. Fields come in three sizes, 6 by 6, 8 by 8 and 10 by 10, and a new field, the same for everyone, arrives every day.
How to play
Tap a square to pitch a tent, tap again to mark it as grass, and once more to clear it.
- Trees and tents. Every tree gets its own tent beside it, and every tent belongs to one tree.
- No touching. Two tents never stand next to each other, not even diagonally.
- Numbers. Each number counts the tents in its row or column. It dims when the line is complete and turns red when it holds too many; tap it to turn every empty square of the line to grass.
- Score. Your score is the time to solve the field, plus 30 seconds for every hint. Every field size has its own leaderboard.
Strategy tips
- Clear the zeros. A row or column with a 0 holds no tent at all; tap its number and it turns to grass.
- Far from trees is grass. A square with no tree straight beside it can never hold a tent.
- Grass around tents. Once a tent stands, the eight squares around it are grass.
- Lonely trees. A tree with only one open side and no tent yet must have its tent there.
- Read the line. When a row needs two tents among four open squares that sit side by side in pairs, try the ways they fit; a square used by every way is a tent.
FAQ
Is Tents free to play?
Yes. Like every game on Play, it runs free in your browser, with no download and no account needed.
Do I have to mark grass?
No. Grass is only a note for yourself; the field is solved the moment every tent stands where it belongs.
What does a hint do?
It fixes a wrong mark first if there is one, otherwise it pitches the next tent that follows by logic. Each hint adds 30 seconds to your time.
What is the daily field?
Every day everyone plays the same medium 8 by 8 field, so times compare directly on the leaderboard.
How is my score counted?
Your score is the time from the first look at the field to the last tent pitched, plus 30 seconds for every hint. Lower is better.
