About Tontonbeya
Fill a roomed grid with circles, triangles and squares. Balance the symbol counts inside each room while joining every group to exactly one matching group across a room border.
Choose from 160 original puzzles on 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6 grids. Rooms may use one, two or three symbol kinds; matching partners can have different sizes and shapes.
How to play
- Goal
- Fill every cell with a circle, triangle or square so each room balances its symbols and every connected symbol group has exactly one matching partner in another room.
- How it ends
- You finish when all cells satisfy the room and pairing rules; mistakes can always be erased.
- Record
- Your fastest first-solve time is kept for each puzzle, and later solves are untimed practice.
- Choose Circle, Triangle or Square, then tap or drag over blank cells. Printed symbols stay fixed.
- Within each room, every symbol kind present must have the same count. A room may use just one kind.
- All copies of a symbol inside a room must connect horizontally or vertically into one group.
- Every group must touch the same symbol in exactly one other room across an edge. Several contacts with that same room count once; corners do not count.
- Partners may have different sizes and shapes. Fill every cell and satisfy every room and pairing rule to finish automatically.
- Choose Erase or tap an entry with its matching tool to clear it. Undo and Redo restore whole strokes.

Tips
- Connect inside the room Two diagonal copies need a side-connected path of their own symbol inside that room.
- Count the kinds you use A room with two kinds needs equal halves. A room with three kinds needs three equal counts.
- Check distinct partners A group can cross several edges into the same partner room. Touching that symbol in a second other room is forbidden.

Questions
Must every room use all three symbols?
No. A room may use one, two or three kinds, provided the kinds present have equal counts.
Must partner groups have the same size?
No. The matching symbol and the one-partner rule matter; their sizes and shapes may differ.
Does corner contact count?
No. Both connectivity and matching contacts use shared cell edges.
