You can generate a random seed of eight numbers, choose the numbers yourself or even use today’s date, which is a novel idea. Technically the number isn’t infinite, but there are more than you’ll ever be able to complete in a lifetime. “That’s only 36!” I hear you cry, “Why is it called ‘Infinite’?” The 36 puzzles are simply the main game mode, what Infinite has added over its predecessor is the ability to generate random puzzles. There are six ‘worlds’ in total, each with six puzzles to uncover in each. Thankfully the game has good tutorials every time a new puzzle mechanic surfaces that teach you what’s going on very well. Got all that? It sounds confusing, and it kind of is unless you see it in action. To complete the puzzle, you simply have to unearth all the hexes while making as few mistakes as possible. If the number is surrounded by hyphens, then the blue hexes cannot be next to each other. If the number is surrounded by curly brackets, then the blue hexes are conjoined. A number on a blue hex tells you how many other blue cells are in a two hex radius.

A number on one of the black hexes lets you know how many blue tiles are connected to it. You are aided by numbers around the shape or on the black tiles.Ī number outside the shape lets you know how many blue tiles are in that corresponding row. Left click if you think it’s blue, right click if you think it’s black. You have to use logic to figure out which it will be. Underneath the orange it is either blue or black.

You’re given a shape of tessellating orange hexes. Hexcells looks simple but it’s more complicated than it seems. So to the computer we go for a quick blast of brain teasing.
