Play Leaf Pile Nap

How to play Leaf Pile Nap

A cozy Minesweeper-style puzzle: rake autumn leaf piles without waking the napping animals. Their shapes are known, they never touch, and no garden needs a guess.

1. Choose a garden on the menu, or play today's garden. Garden 1 is a small lawn with mice and one rabbit, made for learning the rules.
2. Rake the glowing pile first: it is always empty. Then rake every pile that has no animal under it. Raking a pile with no sleepers around it opens its empty neighbors too.
3. A raked pile shows how many animal tiles are in the eight piles around it. The chips under the header list the animals still hidden and their shapes.
4. A mouse fills 1 pile, a rabbit 2 piles in a line, a hedgehog 3 piles straight or bent, and a badger 4 piles in a square or a T. Shapes can be turned or flipped, and animals never touch, not even diagonally.
5. Lay a blanket on a pile you know hides an animal. When blankets cover an animal exactly and every pile around it is raked, it is tucked in, and a dashed ring marks the piles around it as empty.
6. A wrong rake wakes an animal and costs an acorn. After three wakes, try the garden again. Rake every empty pile to finish the garden and open the next one.
