About GeoShikaku
GeoShikaku is a free daily grid puzzle on Planetle, the daily geography games site. The board is an 8x8 grid of 64 cells. Players drag to draw rectangles over the grid, and every cell has to be covered with no overlaps. Each rectangle must contain one country flag and all of the data hints attached to that country, so the puzzle is solved by cutting the grid around the flags rather than by guessing names.
