Play Zelpling Seek

About Zelpling Seek & how to play

Find the one Zelpling hiding in each colored zone — no two sharing a row, column, or even a corner.

A grid split into colored zones, one Zelpling hidden in each. The rules are strict: no two share a row or column, and none can sit next to each other, not even diagonally. From those constraints alone you can reason out exactly where every Zelpling must be — no guessing, just careful elimination.

Pip hosts it as a timed marathon: solve as many boards as you can before the clock runs out. Mark cells with ✕ to rule them out as you close in on each zone.

How to play Zelpling Seek

1. Each colored zone hides exactly one Zelpling — find them all.
2. No two Zelplings can share a row or column, and none may touch, even diagonally.
3. Tap a cell to cycle it: first an ✕ to rule it out, tap again to place a Zelpling.
4. Use the rules to deduce where each one must go, one certain step at a time.
5. Clear a board by finding every Zelpling, then solve as many as you can before time runs out.

Tips & strategy

• Start with the small, boxed-in zones — the fewer cells a zone has, the sooner its Zelpling is forced.
• Every time you place one, ✕ out its whole row, column, and neighboring cells; that often forces the next.
• Look for a row, column, or zone with a single empty cell left — it has to hold a Zelpling.
• Do the eliminations fully before placing. Ruling cells out is what exposes the certain moves.
• It's always solvable by logic — feel stuck and there's a deduction you missed, not a guess to make.
