Pic-a-Pix

Almost everyone knows sudoku and kakuro.
But there are many other great logic puzzles.


Pic-a-Pix puzzles

In the Netherlands we call them 'Japanse Puzzels'.

Other names are Paint by Numbers, Nonogram, Griddlers, Pixel Puzzles, Tsunami,.....


Pic-a-Pix puzzles are based on a grid with a pixilated picture logically "hidden" in it.
Using logic, the solver determines which squares are filled in and which should remain empty until the hidden picture is completely exposed.
