What a momentous occasion! It has now officially been 500 days of GAPP to celebrate, we've each contributed toward a bundle of five puzzles for you to enjoy. For examples on these genres, please reference our previous posts of them! Thank you to everyone who has stuck around, be it from the very start, or joining in at point down the line (even anyone brand new to this right now!) your continued solving makes us all very happy and keeps us setting 💖

Rules will be given in the next post! Also remember solve times are for the full set of 5 puzzles, you can calculate this by adding the finished times together, or set a timer and marathon solve all of them contest-style, whatever takes your fancy :3

Rules!!

Puzzle 1 - La Paz
Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and divide the remaining unshaded cells into two-cell regions. Clued cells cannot be shaded. A clue indicates the number of shaded cells which lie entirely within the same row or column as the region containing the clue

Puzzle 2 - Dominion
Shade some dominoes of cells to divide the grid into unshaded areas. Shaded dominoes may not touch orthogonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one type of clue, and all instances of it

Puzzle 3 - Shimaguni
Shade a single group of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Shaded groups may not share a bold border. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Each region must contain at least one shaded cell, and no two adjacent regions may contain the same number of shaded cells

Puzzle 4 - Voxas
Divide the grid into 1x2 and 1x3 regions. Borders must separate two different regions. Borders with white dots separate regions with the same size and orientation. Borders with black dots separate regions with neither the same size nor the same orientation. Borders with grey dots separate regions with either the same size or the same orientation, but not both

Puzzle 5 - Statue Park
Place each shape from the bank given outside the grid into the grid so that no two shapes share an edge and all unused cells form one orthogonally connected area. Rotating and reflecting shapes is allowed. Cells with black circles must be used by a shape, and cells with white circles must not be used by a shape
