Zoo Shap
A deduction puzzle where you pick five shape-colour pieces from a grid of 24 to find the hidden answer key.

Zoo Shap, which presents itself as ZooShap: Puzzle Game, is a guessing puzzle built on deduction. Its pieces are called Shaplors, a name that joins shape and colour, because that is what each one is: a particular shape in a particular colour. There are 24 of these unique combinations laid out on a grid.
Your goal is to guess the correct answer key by selecting five Shaplors from that grid. The description frames it as a blend of logic, deduction and strategy, with a touch of luck added. The luck part is honest. If the order did not matter and nothing repeated, there would be 42,504 possible five-piece keys, so the opening is partly a gamble and the reasoning comes in as you narrow things down.
That mix gives the game its character. It asks for critical thinking and careful problem-solving rather than reflexes, and it rewards players who enjoy working out a hidden answer step by step. The zoo theme keeps it friendly, and the grid of Shaplors gives you everything you need to reason with.
