Map – Colour the Map – Puzzle Game

Map

Map

You are given a map consisting of a number of regions. Your task is to colour each region with one of four colours, in such a way that no two regions sharing a boundary have the same colour. You are provided with some regions already coloured, sufficient to make the remainder of the solution unique.

Only regions which share a length of border are required to be different colours. Two regions which meet at only one point (i.e. are diagonally separated) may be the same colour.

Game Modes:

  • 20×15 – 30 regions – Easy
  • 20×15 – 30 regions – Normal
  • 20×15 – 30 regions – Hard
  • 20×15 – 30 regions – Unreasonable
  • 30×25 – 75 regions – Normal
  • 30×25 – 75 regions – Hard
  • Custom – define your own width, height, and regions, playing at either Easy, Normal, Hard, or Unreasonable difficulty setting
