Logic and Puzzle Games
Logic and puzzle games reward a clear head over a fast thumb, and Zorp builds them because every board ships only after it is proven solvable. A puzzle that lets you down at the last move teaches you not to trust the next one. Nothing in this hub ships until our own solver has already beaten it.
The three games below take different routes into the genre. Glasshouse Grove is a placement puzzle where light, moisture, and neighbors decide where a plant belongs. Jade Pavilion is a tile-matching solitaire you clear pair by pair across a hundred painted boards. Lantern Reef is a bubble shooter, and here aim and a three-of-a-color read carry more weight than long planning. Each one also gives you room when you get stuck. Glasshouse Grove's move budget is kind. Jade Pavilion keeps a stock of shuffles for a trapped corner. Lantern Reef lets you replay any depth you have already cleared from the chart.
3 logic games live so far, with more queued behind them. We would rather say that plainly than dress a short shelf up as a finished catalog. These three are built for players 13 and up. That line holds across every Zorp release. Follow The Signal below and we will tell you when the next one lands.

- A memory game. It carries a working title only. The idea is holding a pattern in your head across several turns.
- Another match-three. It also carries a working title only. The core mechanic is different from Lantern Reef's bubble shooter.
