The game presents a grid-based board where each row and column carries clue numbers indicating the lengths of filled blocks. Players move a cursor, paint squares, and mark blanks to eliminate possibilities. Solving a puzzle reveals part of an image and unlocks the next one. Progress is puzzle-by-puzzle, with mistakes typically costing time or penalties, so careful deduction matters more than speed.
