Gerrymandle

Gerrymandle is a daily puzzle game where your mission is to draw electoral district lines to win more seats than your opponents in as few moves as possible.

Each day presents a new map with voters from different parties scattered across populated tiles. Your job is to group those tiles into districts so that your party (yellow) wins more districts than anyone else.

• Click adjacent tiles to group them into a single district.
• Each district must be one connected shape. No islands allowed.
• A party wins a district by having more voter houses in it than any other party.
• If two parties tie in a district, nobody wins it.
• Every house must be assigned to a district before you can submit.
• The puzzle tells you how many districts to draw and how many tiles go in each.

You're essentially gerrymandering. Pack opponents into a few districts they win by huge margins, wasting their surplus votes. Crack their remaining voters across other districts so they fall just short. Do it right and your party wins a majority of seats even without a majority of votes.

Why we like it:

• ✅Turns a dark corner of political science into a genuinely clever spatial puzzle.
• ✅The mechanics click fast, but the solutions require real strategic thinking.
• ✅Each puzzle is a tiny civics lesson with a satisfying aha moment.

Hint: Count the total voters for each party before you start drawing. Know your margins. A district won by one vote is just as good as a district won by ten, so don't waste your majority where you don't need it.
