How to play

Hidden cookies are under the cells.

Clear the board by clicking on the cells.

You can click on either the turtle or the red cookie. If a turtle is clicked, and the cell contains a hidden cookie, you lose the game. Otherwise, a number is shown; how many surrounding cells contain hidden cookies. If there are no surrounding cookies, the cell is blank, and the surrounding cells are revealed. When you determine that a cell contains a hidden cookie, click on the red cookie to mark it as such. When you change your mind, right-click to mark it as unknown.

After all cookies have been marked, and all turtles clicked on, the game will be won.

The game starts with one hidden cookie, and each win the number of cookies is increased.

Learning with Cookie Search

Cookie Search is a exercise in logic.

Modifying Cookie Search

  • Replace the artwork with your own designs. (Note that the way in which the program distinguishes between the turtle and the cookie is by looking at the red component of the image. Pixels with red values between 190 and 210 are "cookie"; all other values are considered turtle.)
