Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I play Pips Game?
Each puzzle presents a grid divided into colored regions, each with a mathematical rule (e.g., "= 12" means all pips in that region must sum to 12). You are given a set of domino tiles to place on the grid. Tap a domino to select it, double-tap to rotate it, then tap a cell on the grid to place it. Once all dominoes are placed, tap Submit to check your solution.
2. What are the region rules?
Regions can have different types of constraints:
- Sum Equals (= X): All pip values in the region must add up to the specified number
- All Equal (=): Every cell in the region must have the same pip value
- All Different (≠): Every cell must have a different pip value
- Less Than (< X): The total pips must be below the given number
- Greater Than (> X): The total pips must exceed the given number
3. What are the difficulty levels?
Pips Game offers three difficulty tiers with 500 total puzzles:
- Easy (Levels 1–200): 3×3 to 4×4 grids with 4–6 dominoes
- Medium (Levels 201–400): 4×4 to 5×5 grids with 7–9 dominoes
- Hard (Levels 401–500): 5×5 to 6×6 grids with 10–16 dominoes
4. How does the ranking system work?
As you complete puzzles and earn points, you progress through 10 ranks: Beginner, Good Start, Moving, Solid, Nice, Great, Amazing, Genius, Extraordinary, and Queen Bee. Easy puzzles earn 10 points, Medium earn 20, and Hard earn 35. Points are only awarded on first completion of each level.
5. Can I undo a move or reset the puzzle?
Yes! Use the Undo button to remove the last placed domino, or tap Reset to clear the entire board and start fresh. You can also tap a placed domino on the grid to remove it.
6. How do I rotate a domino?
Double-tap a domino in the tray to rotate it. Dominoes can be placed horizontally or vertically. Rotating cycles through four orientations.
7. Does Pips Game save my progress?
Yes! Your progress is automatically saved. If you leave a puzzle mid-game, you can resume exactly where you left off. Your completed levels, scores, and rank are all stored locally on your device.
8. Does Pips Game work offline?
