House Painter
About House Painter
House Painter is a free online city-building puzzle game developed by Zupga that combines wall-painting logic puzzles with a growing town of your own design. On each level you take control of a paintbrush and must cover every inch of a house's four walls in color, weaving around windows, wooden panels, and bushes that block direct paths and force you to think several moves ahead. It plays much like Tomb of the Mask, translating that same grid-based movement puzzle into a satisfying home-improvement theme where finishing a wall means adding a freshly painted house to your skyline.
House Painter runs entirely in the browser with no download or install required, and it's controlled with simple keyboard movement that works on both desktop and touch-friendly layouts. After completing a wall, you place the finished house anywhere you like on the city map, gradually building a personalized neighborhood out of every level you clear, which gives the puzzle-solving a real sense of long-term payoff beyond just finishing the next wall.

Painting Every Wall
Each level presents a wall shape that must be fully covered in paint, with no spot left blank. Windows, wooden panels, and bushes create dead zones the brush can't pass through directly, so the real puzzle is figuring out a path that threads around every obstacle while still reaching every paintable tile. When a spot seems unreachable, look at the row and column it sits in and work out how to route the brush into that line using the surrounding obstacles as guides, then pass the brush straight through to finish it.
Building Your City
Every completed house gets added to a city map that you design yourself, mixing colors and shapes as you see fit for a more visually interesting skyline. In-game currency earned from completed levels can be spent upgrading houses or adding decorations like windmills, and the R icon lets you wipe the map clean if you want to start your city layout over from scratch. Clearing enough levels eventually fills out a full, vibrant neighborhood built entirely from your own puzzle-solving.
Tips for Winning at House Painter
Plan your route before making your first move rather than painting reactively, since an early wrong turn can trap the brush away from unpainted tiles. When you spot an isolated blank spot, trace its row and column back to the nearest obstacle you can use to redirect the brush into that line. Save more complex house shapes for placement near the center of your city map, since they tend to look best next to simpler, uniformly colored houses.
