Hex strategy puzzle
Hive Mind
Build a thriving colony by placing specialized bees on a honeycomb grid. Every role follows a different rule, and every one of the 500 puzzles asks you to find a complete valid hive.
How to play Hive Mind
Choose bees from your available colony and place them into empty hexes. The hive is solved only when every bee is placed and every role rule, marked-cell requirement, and level challenge is satisfied at the same time.
The campaign begins with simple Worker connections, then introduces new bee roles, blocked wasp cells, training markers, regional goals, movable Queens, and limited-move, limited-check, or timed challenges.
