Recently I have introduced the Hidoku puzzle (Hidoku's Rules), I mentionned that this puzzle allows, for a creator, a lot of liberty. Usually this puzzle is often presented in a square grid with square cells. Because of the particularity of this puzzle it is easier to modify the shape of this puzzle, contrary to a puzzle like a Sudoku which requires to follow specific rules like having rows, columns and regions having the same size, the Hidoku could have any number of cell and the only constrain to follow is that you can relied all the cells from the first cell up to the last one.
So we can create puzzle to have of any shape and also with grids having holes inside .
I present you three different variations. Remember you have to make a path from the circle cell having the number 1 up to the last cell (inside a circle) by hoping one cell by cell (horizontaly, verticaly or diagonaly).

I'm introducing a new game called Hidato, in fact I started making it in 2008, but this is the first time I'm introducing it. I dusted it off in the last few months and I realized that it could be very versatile in its form and its functioning. So I present it to you today in its usual form. For the other variations, it will be later. Here is a Hidoku and its solution.
The rules are simple: In a grid there is a path that passes through each cell and this one cell at a time either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The grid shows some scells where the path passes. The goal is to reconstruct the path by numbering each cell in the order of the path. The first cell (the 1) and the last cell are identified by a circle. See Hidoku's Rules where I solve a puzzle.
Patience, observation skills and logic are needed to get through it. Exactly what my readers have! I present you 5 games. The bigger they are the more difficult they are. This will give you an idea of the variety of this game.
