How to Play Patches Game
Patches Game is a quiet shape-fitting puzzle inspired by the look of a handmade quilt. Four colored patches sit beside an empty square board. Choose a patch, rotate it if needed, and place it so every square is covered without any overlap. You can lift a placed patch back out and try another arrangement whenever you want. There is no timer and no penalty for experimenting. Each move changes the pattern, making this a gentle logic puzzle for anyone who likes to think with shapes and colors at their own pace.
- Choose one of the four colored patches below the board.
- Use Rotate to turn the selected patch clockwise.
- Tap or click a board square to place the selected patch with its top-left corner there.
- Fill all sixteen squares without overlap; tap a placed patch to pick it back up.
Tips and Strategy
Find the Long Edge
Begin with the straight patch along an outside edge. That leaves more room to turn the other shapes.
Keep Corners in Mind
A patch that reaches a corner has fewer possible positions. Test those spots before filling the center.
Undo Freely
If a small gap cannot be filled, lift a patch and try a different order. There is no penalty for another attempt.
