Gerrymandle is a free browser puzzle where players click hexagonal tiles to draw electoral districts and make the blue team win a majority of seats. A new puzzle is released once a day. The game teaches gerrymandering mechanics through play.
Gerrymandle presents players with a hexagonal grid of tiles marked blue, red, or empty. Players click adjacent tiles to form districts of three voters each. The party with the most votes in a district wins that seat. The goal is to arrange districts so that blue wins more seats than red, even if red has more total voters. A hint button shows one correct district when players are stuck. Once all tiles are assigned, players submit their map and see if they cleared the puzzle. The game resets daily with a new layout.
