Queens Game Quick Set: 3 Core Levels + 2 Bonus Challenges
Today's Quick Set starts with three progressively larger core puzzles and then unlocks two optional bonus challenges. Begin with a compact 5×5 board or 6×6 board, complete the core set on 7×7 or 8×8, and continue into larger 9×9 or 10×10 bonus boards when you want a deeper challenge. Finishing the first three always counts as completing the core Quick Set.
Quick Set is different from the Daily Challenge. The Daily Challenge is the single shared board of the day, while Quick Set is the homepage starter path: faster to enter, easier to sample, and a natural bridge into the full Queens puzzle library.
The puzzle explained
What Is the Queens Game?
Queens Game is a region-based logic puzzle that combines the row-and-column restrictions of the classic N-Queens problem with colored regions and a no-touch rule. Your goal is to place exactly one queen in every row, every column, and every colored region. No two queens may touch, including diagonally, so each placement removes options from several parts of the board at once.
The rule set is also similar to a one-star Star Battle puzzle, but Queens uses crowns and a clear one-queen-per-region goal. On QueensGame.io you can begin with the five-puzzle homepage Quick Set, play the shared Daily Challenge, or explore a library of 2,500 standard and community Queens puzzles. Boards range from 4×4 to 12×12, giving new players a compact place to learn and experienced solvers room for longer deductions.

Find your level
Choose Queens Game Grid Size and Difficulty
Grid size controls how much of the board you need to scan, but it does not determine difficulty by itself. Standard puzzles have separate Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert ratings based on their actual layouts, so use board size to choose your pace and the recorded difficulty to choose the depth of reasoning you want.
Small Queens Grids: 4×4 to 6×6
Compact practiceCompact boards are quicker to scan and make the row, column, region, and no-touch rules easier to observe. Start with 4×4, 5×5, or 6×6 when you are learning the move cycle, testing a new technique, or fitting in a short warm-up.
Standard Queens Grids: 7×7 to 9×9
Balanced solvingBoards from 7×7 through 9×9 create more overlapping restrictions without becoming difficult to read at a glance. They are a strong everyday range for practicing systematic X marks, spotting forced placements, and preparing for the shared Daily Challenge.
Large Queens Grids: 10×10 to 12×12
Longer deductionsLarger 10×10, 11×11, and 12×12 boards require broader scanning and more careful tracking of eliminated cells. Choose them when you want a longer session, then use the Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert filters in the standard level library to select the actual challenge level.
Build a better solving routine
Queens Game Strategy and Practice Tips
Combine careful elimination with deliberate practice. The strongest routine helps you find forced moves on the current board, then repeat the exact grid sizes and difficulty levels that still slow you down.
Start with the Most Restricted Row or Region
Find forced movesScan for a row, column, or color region with the fewest open squares. Compare its remaining cells against every existing queen. When only one valid square survives all four rules, you have found a forced placement without guessing.
Mark Every Impossible Square
Eliminate optionsAdd X marks to squares ruled out by an existing queen, a completed row or column, a completed color region, or the no-touch rule. Visible eliminations reduce repeated scanning and make new single-option rows and regions easier to notice.
Repeat the Grid Size That Slows You Down
Isolate weak spotsIf one board size consistently takes longer, open that dedicated size page instead of jumping randomly between puzzles. Repeating similar dimensions helps you recognize recurring region shapes, track longer elimination chains, and measure whether your scanning is becoming more efficient.
Warm Up with the Quick Set Before the Daily Challenge
Prepare without pressureUse the three core Quick Set levels to establish a solving rhythm, then continue into the two optional Bonus boards when you want more practice. Move to the Daily Challenge once your eyes are already tuned to rows, columns, regions, and diagonal contact.

Not always. The homepage Quick Set is organized as a gradual five-puzzle path: three progressively larger core boards followed by two optional Bonus challenges. The Daily Challenge is one shared board with its own size and recorded difficulty, so it may feel easier or harder depending on that day's layout and the patterns you solve best.
No. Quick Set progress is stored separately in your current browser and does not count as a Daily Challenge submission, leaderboard score, or daily streak. To appear in Daily stats or rankings, solve the shared Daily Challenge and submit the result through that page's score flow.
