Abstract
A puzzle game including a number map having a 9×9 grid filled 9 number sets, where each number set includes the numbers 1 through 9. The 9 number sets form unique shapes comprised of 9 grid squares, where each number from each number set is connected at a side of a square in the grid to the other numbers in the set. Corresponding to each number set is a tile group comprised of 9 transparent tiles of the same color, where each tile group is a different color. To solve the puzzle every tile must be placed adjacent a tile of the same color within a single number set. Same color tiles must be placed on a different number within a single number set. The puzzle is solved when each number set is covered by tiles of the same color and the grid completely covered by tiles.
