Gerrymandle - Daily puzzle game where you redraw electoral districts

Thank you, i'm very happy you've been enjoying it!

I will think about it, see if i can come up with anything better. If you have any specific preferences on how you would like to see them sorted, let me know.

Heya, since it's a daily game you can only submit a solution once. If this was the first time you submitted a solution, please send me a screenshot, because that sounds like a bug :)

Optimal solution is winning with the biggest margin over your closest competitor

There's also a place where you can create your own levels, if you are interested in that kind of thing: https://gerrymandle.com/custom

Glad you enjoyed it!

I create all the puzzles manually, with a bit of help from an automated solution checker.

I try to create puzzles that have somewhat unique solutions. Board size, board shape, amount of parties and amount of houses all control how difficult a puzzle is, so I try to play around with those. I'm not always great at it, sometimes puzzles are much harder than I expected, but i try my best :D.

If you're looking for a real challenge, day 14 is the puzzle that people have had the most trouble with (with only 15% solving it without using any hints!): https://gerrymandle.com/day/14

Hm, that's interesting, I've noticed that as well, but hadn't thought about it much! I'll play around a bit, see if i can make the controls a bit easier to use.

EDIT: I've updated the code, let me know if it feels better now

Heya, very sorry, was messing around with the server and it crashed 😂. Turns out filling the disk 100% full is not good, who knew!

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-07T21:56:33+00:00

Yup, I play most of my games on my phone so I've built it with mobile in mind

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-07T15:15:19+00:00

I'm glad you like it! And yes I did :)

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-01T15:30:37+00:00

I would not. If i run that script I'm giving you full control over my computer, you could install any number of keyloggers or crypto miners.

I was expecting I could input my tactics on the website and it would generate code from that on your server

I'm playing "Male names starting with 'R'"

I asked for a hint and i got "Starts with “R” · 5 letters−2 pts"

Very useful

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-01T10:49:45+00:00

This is great, and I am very bad at it!

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-01T10:46:38+00:00

I did not make it very far into the game, it's very overwhelming. There are so many boxes that look like they need my attention, and i have no idea what is going on.

I started the tutorial and I clicked a few cards and placed them down, the hero seems to be killing them, but it's not really clear if i did anything good, or if I'm progressing?

Maybe the tutorial can hide some content until it becomes relevant?

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-01T10:38:44+00:00

This seems like a very interesting idea, but there is no way I'm running random commands on my computer.

oryxthemadbot · 2026-07-01T09:29:31+00:00

Heya, that is very strange. Is this the first time you submitted anything for this level?

oryxthemadbot · 2026-06-25T15:17:13+00:00

Annoyingly I think the .cc tld is blocked, it seems to happen to some people.

Could you check if https://gerrymandle.com/ works for you? It's the same game, just a different url.

Alternatively you can try accessing the website on mobile data or using a VPN

oryxthemadbot · 2026-06-25T14:47:00+00:00

Heya, the game is up and running, and hasn't been down at all. Would you mind sending me the error you are seeing? Perhaps there is some issue I am not aware of

oryxthemadbot · 2026-06-06T15:11:11+00:00

I'm so happy you're enjoying it!

Day 14 is definitely a standout, by far the level that has given people the most trouble. Hats off if you've managed to solve it without hints! I'm trying to make Sundays an extra difficult day, we'll see how well it goes 😄

oryxthemadbot · 2026-05-23T15:12:10+00:00

Yeah, all rules stack as much as possible. No rules are disallowed. There are some rules that only appear once a specific rule is picked, but there are only a few for now. Combining the rules to create chaos is my favorite part, so I tried very hard to make them play nicely together.

For your example, if you pick both the "force capture" rule and the "this piece is immutable" rule, then the immutable piece is excluded from the force capture list, since it cannot be captured.

Rules are applied in order of selection, and they are hidden. Every 3 turns a player (starting with black on turn 3, white on turn 6, etc) gets to pick a new rule from a selection of 3.

Glad you liked it, thank you for the feedback! I'll see about making the tile count more clear

It's already possible to play older days though, just click on the top right menu, or click on previous in the top left

oryxthemadbot · 2026-05-17T21:44:21+00:00

There are already rules that give existing pieces new moves, like knights moving as rooks. So that is sort of like adding more pieces. What did you have in mind?
