Hex: Origins

Hex: Origins is a casual puzzle game about placing colorful pieces made of hexagons on a board. Pieces contain 2 to 10 or more hexagons, with up to six colors. You can place a piece anywhere if all neighboring tiles are empty; when a hex has a colored neighbor, at least one neighboring hex must match its color. Special board pieces and power-ups add further possibilities, while each placement changes which pieces can fit. Plan your order, colors and shapes as you play.

Game modes

The game has four modes, two available from the start and two unlocked with tokens earned by playing.

• Classic: Play a linear series of Episodes, each structured into six Chapters with six Levels per Chapter. Levels have three difficulty options. Episodes introduce new mechanics, and difficulty and rewards increase with each Chapter.
• Flow: Play a linear experience similar to Classic, connecting battery pieces to light bulbs to power them up. Plan colored paths across the board and fill the board.
• Exploration: Expand from a center starting point in any direction on maps that begin with all the colors.
• Treasure Hunting: Assemble rare treasure map fragments into a map, then follow its thematic journey to find hidden treasures.

Levels and tools

There are over 800 levels with three difficulty options. Levels have no single required solution: your moves alter which shapes can be placed, and the game generates usable pieces as you go. You can finish a level in any way possible. A shuffle mechanic lets you discard the current pieces and draw new ones in exchange for a small portion of your progress bar. Five power-ups can slightly alter or completely change the board, and difficult bonus shapes containing nine or more hexagons sometimes appear; place one and complete the level to earn extra rewards.

You can complete in-game quests, open treasure chests while playing any level, unlock custom hex-piece skins and choose from nine backgrounds. The game also includes cloud saving, achievements, stats, leaderboards, a level editor and workshop.
