Seat Plan is a free daily logic puzzle. The team is moving to a new room, and everyone has a wish: Ana wants the window row, Ben must not sit next to Carla, Dan sits right in front of Eva. Read the clues and give everyone a desk. Only one seating fits all of them. Monday is a small room for 4 people. Friday is a room with three rows for 9 people.

How to play Seat Plan
- Look at the room. The window is at the top, and everyone faces it.
- Read the clues next to the room. Start with a clue that names only one person.
- Drag people to desks, or tap a person and then a desk. Watch the clues turn green or red.
- Swap people until everyone has a desk and every clue is green.
The clues you will meet
| Clue | What it means | First appears |
|---|---|---|
| sits in the window row | The row of desks right below the window. | Monday |
| sits next to | Side by side in the same row. The desk in front or behind does not count. | Monday |
| sits right in front of | The same column, one row nearer the window. | Monday |
| sits further left than | Compares columns only. The two people can sit in different rows. | Monday |
| does not sit in the window row, does not sit next to | The opposite of the clues above. | Wednesday |
| sits in a corner | One of the four corner desks of the room. | Wednesday |
| sit in the same row | Anywhere in the same row, not only side by side. | Thursday |
Tips for finding the seating
- Begin with clues about one person. “Sits in the window row” or “sits in a corner” cuts the choices for that person at once.
- Treat “right in front of” as a pair. The two people fill one column, so think about where the pair can go.
- Chain the “further left” clues. If Ana is further left than Ben and Ben is further left than Carla, the three sit in three different columns, in that order.
- Keep the “not” clues for the end. They rarely place someone, but they decide between the last two desks.
- Try and watch. Seat someone where you think they belong. A clue that turns red tells you which idea was wrong.
How the week gets harder
| Day | Room | People | Clues | What is new |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 2 rows of 2 | 4 | 3 | Four kinds of clue: window row, next to, right in front of, further left. |
| Tuesday | 2 rows of 3 | 6 | 4 or 5 | A bigger room with the same kinds of clue. |
| Wednesday | 2 rows of 3 | 6 | 5 or 6 | Clues that say “not”, and the corner clue. |
| Thursday | 2 rows of 4 | 8 | 6 to 8 | Eight people, and the “same row” clue. |
| Friday | 3 rows of 3 | 9 | 8 to 10 | Three rows. The middle row is not at the window and not at the back. |
Saturday plays like a Wednesday and Sunday like a Tuesday.
