Civ-Inspired Hex Puzzle Game

$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Love Civilization but wish you could skip to the city planning? Hex Optimizer is for you. We've distilled the best part of 4X strategy games — that satisfying moment when you place the perfect Campus next to three mountains, or watch your Industrial Zone light up with adjacency bonuses — into pure, focused puzzle gameplay. No waiting for turns. No managing armies. Just you, a hex grid, and the challenge of finding the optimal build. HOW IT WORKS: Every puzzle is a miniature civilization. Place cities, farms, districts, and wonders on hand-crafted maps to hit resource targets. Sounds simple? The adjacency bonuses will keep you thinking for hours. • Campus next to mountains = science boost • Industrial Zone near mines = production surge • Harbor adjacent to city center = gold flowing in • Petra in the desert = transforms wasteland into paradise THE CIV EXPERIENCE, CONDENSED: If you've ever spent 30 minutes planning your first 10 cities in Civ, this is your game. All the strategic depth of district placement. None of the 8-hour time commitment. 75 PUZZLES FROM EASY TO EVIL: Start with tutorials that teach the basics. End with brain-melting challenges where every hex matters. Each puzzle has one perfect solution — can you find it? BUILT FOR PUZZLE LOVERS: • Undo/redo: Experiment freely • No timers: Think as long as you need • Offline: Play on planes, trains, anywhere • No ads: Zero interruptions • No tracking: Your data stays yours 28 buildings including Cities, Farms, Mines, Campuses, Industrial Zones, Harbors, and legendary Wonders like Petra, Colosseum, and Ruhr Valley. Whether you're a Civ veteran or new to hex strategy, Hex Optimizer delivers that "one more puzzle" feeling. Download now and prove you're the ultimate city planner.
