Lo Shu Magic Square

The ancient Chinese magic square, from 3 x 3 to 5 x 5.

About this game

Place the numbers so every row, column and diagonal adds up to the magic number. Start with the original Lo Shu, then climb to 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 squares and broken-diagonal variants. Hints that teach, a Daily Square and Watch and Learn. Portrait or landscape.

How to play

  1. Fill the grid so every row, column and diagonal adds up to the same magic number.
  2. Tap a stone in the tray, then tap a square, or drag it there.
  3. Gauges at the end of every line show the running total and glow when it is right.
  4. Tap the lamp for a hint: where to look, then why it works.
  5. Climb the Journey, pick any size in Free Play, or play the Daily Square.
