Play online sectionPlay online is the heart and hub of conceptispuzzles.com where you can play thousands of top quality logic puzzles with over 100 new puzzles added each week. Play online is also the place where puzzles are saved on Conceptis’ servers and where puzzles are served blank showing just the puzzle solution states whenever they are saved. In this section you can solve, save and resume puzzles regardless of where they are located or which computer you are using. In short, Play online is the place you want to be once you are familiar with the puzzles. Registering for Play online membership is very easy. With this membership you can also manage your profile and privacy settings and participate in forum conversations. Get started sectionThe Get started section, containing permanent free puzzles, is a comprehensive structured guide to Conceptis’ puzzle families, variants and models. Each puzzle family (e.g. Pic-a-Pix, Sudoku) has its own page with online puzzle samples as well as links to the rules, interactive tutorial, solving techniques, interactive game instructions, solving tips and puzzle history. All free puzzles can be played online or printed to solve with pencil and paper. The puzzles can also be saved locally on your computer. Puzzle supportStuck with a puzzle? The first step is to make sure you know the rules, which can be found by clicking the Rules link in the top-left corner of the puzzle family page. You can also watch the tutorial movie to make sure you understand how a puzzle is solved. If this doesn’t help, go to the Puzzle support forum where you can see detailed solving techniques, step-by-step solution analyses, explanations about special logic situations and much more. Being part of an active forum, you can also learn techniques from other members and ask for help about the specific puzzle you are stuck with.

Puzzle scaling, multi-page printing and other puzzle specific options are also available in the Print dialog box. Saving puzzlesAll puzzles played on this website can be saved and resumed any time. Puzzles played in the Play online section are saved on Conceptis servers so you can start a puzzle on one computer and continue on any other computer regardless of its location. Whenever a puzzle is saved, the corresponding thumbnail will automatically update to display the saved state. Thus, whenever returning to Play online you will see all puzzles in the state you last saved them without needing to open a single puzzle. Puzzles played in all other sections will be saved locally on your computer inside the browser Flash environment.
