Features & Capabilities

Master the Geometry of Logic.

Step into the world of Shikaku (also known as Rectangles), a classic Japanese logic puzzle reimagined for the modern era. Shikaku is a minimalist experience designed for those who find beauty in structure and peace in problem-solving.

THE GOAL Divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces such that each piece contains exactly one number. That number must represent the total area (the number of cells) of that rectangle. It’s simple to learn, but mastery requires a deep understanding of logical geometry.

WHY PLAY SHIKAKU? • Handcrafted Minimalism: A clean, distraction-free interface that lets you focus entirely on the puzzle at hand. • Daily Chapters: Every day brings a new "Chapter" with three stages of escalating difficulty. Start your morning with a light challenge and end your day with a masterclass in logic. • Infinite Endless Mode: Never run out of puzzles. Generate grids of various sizes—from quick 4x4 warm-ups to daunting large-scale grids. • Personalize Your Experience: Express yourself with over 16 vibrant themes, including Tokyo Neon, Sakura, Botanical, and Midnight. • Mastery XP System: Prove your skill. Turn off assistive features to earn 1.5x XP and climb the ranks of logic masters. • Zero Distractions: No ads. No interruptions. Just you and the grid.

Whether you’re a Sudoku veteran or a casual puzzle lover, Shikaku offers a meditative yet mentally stimulating escape.

I can’t believe this app is this good and also free!
by tp*****, 2026-04-27

I love this game. It’s perfect for when I want to kill some time thinking and not endlessly scrolling. I don’t know how I found it. I assume it was advertised to me, but it was free and there are no ads. It’s a great experience top to bottom. I don’t understand how something this good is free without intrusive ads. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one or had an option for one. I just found the “shop” and thought ok this is how they make money. Nope. I have tons of the currency and you can’t buy any virtual currency. I was so impressed I started looking for a way to shortcut to a rating in the setting (common now) because I haven’t been pestered for a rating either! Guess what? I couldn’t find one. I was so impressed with how not-sleezy this free game was I had to write out a full review. Kudos to the dev. This is a standout version of a crowded field of similar styles. I haven’t played any of them (I only know they exist because I had to find this in the App Store again to review) but I know this version is superior. The only thing I would change if I were the dev is add an option in the settings menu to jump to rate the app. Don’t pester but if people find it they will come. This app rules.

I love that this one is free and does not have any ads. It’s just I notice there’s a couple of glitches that happen including having a different game mode pop up when I didn’t even click on it. For example, I wanted to play the Levels but it always brings me to the Time Attack Game mode. I also see that there’s different stages for the daily, but I only can play one, the next two stages are automatically solved. It’d be nice if these are fixed.
