Questions

What is Barns?

Barns (Japanese: バーンズ) is a logic puzzle where you draw rectangles on a grid so that each rectangle contains exactly one circle and the rectangles perfectly partition the grid with no overlaps and no gaps.

How do I play Barns?

Tap or click an empty cell, then tap-and-drag (or tap a second corner) to draw a rectangle. Releasing on a second cell finalizes the rectangle. Each room must contain exactly one circle. Rooms cannot overlap. The grid must be completely covered. A green room has its circle; a red room is missing its circle; gray rooms are still in progress.
