About Skyscrapers Parks

Fill moonlit skyline charts with towers of different heights and gardens. Every row and column needs one garden and one tower of each height.

How to play

Goal
Arrange the towers and gardens to match every skyline clue.
How it ends
A chart ends when every cell is decided and all row, column and visibility rules agree; mistakes can always be undone.
Record
Each chart keeps its fastest unaided first-solve time.
  1. In a four-by-four chart, use one garden and towers of heights one, two and three in each row and column. In a five-by-five chart, also use height four.
  2. Read each printed clue from its edge toward the board. A tower counts if it is taller than every tower before it. Gardens are transparent and do not count. A blank edge has no clue.
  3. In the worked example, the left clue is one. Putting a garden before the height-two tower lets you see that tower, which hides the height-one tower behind it.
  4. Select a cell, then choose a height or Garden. Notes adds pencil marks to undecided cells. The chart completes automatically when every cell is decided and all clues agree.
