October Puzzle: Spooky Dooku
The Spooky-Doo gang is hunting monsters in a haunted house with nine rooms. Help them set up every room so the monsters get caught and Spooky-Doo stays safe!
- Every room (each 3×3 box) needs exactly one of each:
Spooky-Doo,
vase,
net,
monster, and
Spooky Snack. The other squares stay empty. - Spooky-Doo must stay hidden. He can't be in the same row or column as any monster unless a vase is between them. Diagonals are safe.
- Spooky-Doo keeps his distance. He can't be right next to any monster, not even diagonally or through a wall.
- Every monster must be caught. A net in the same room must be directly next to it (left, right, above, or below).
- Spooky-Doo needs his snack. Each Spooky Snack must be directly next to the Spooky-Doo in its room (left, right, above, or below). He'll go get it, so the snack has to stay hidden too: no monster can see it along a row or column unless a vase is between them, and no monster can touch it, not even diagonally.
🎉 Zoinks, you did it! Every monster is caught and Spooky-Doo is safe!
