How to Play Tents
Place tents next to trees so each tree has exactly one adjacent tent, no two tents touch (even diagonally), and row/column counts match the clues.
Try it now — Easy 8x8 →The Rules
- Place exactly one tent adjacent (up, down, left, or right — not diagonal) to each tree
- No two tents may touch each other, even diagonally
- Row and column clue numbers show how many tents are in that line
- Every tree is paired with exactly one tent, and every tent is paired with exactly one tree
Available in 3 sizes (6x6, 8x8, 10x10) and 3 difficulty levels (easy, normal, hard).
See It in Action
Place one tent next to each tree — tents cannot touch, edge numbers count per row and column
How to Play
- Mark rows and columns with a clue of 0 — no tents go in those lines
- If a tree has only one available adjacent cell, the tent must go there
- After placing a tent, eliminate all 8 surrounding cells from further tent placements
- Use the row and column counts to identify lines where all remaining empty cells must have tents
Pro Tips
Trees in corners and along borders have fewer valid tent positions — start with those
If placing a tent would make another tent diagonally adjacent, that placement is invalid
Count unpaired trees vs. remaining tent slots: if they match exactly, those slots are all tents
