Laser Pointers

We first have to notice that this series of logic puzzles is based on the game Laser Maze. This might be determined by internet searching for keywords relating to laser games or just by reverse image searching one of the 5x5 grids.

This leads us to the rulebook for Laser Maze which clarifies the meaning of individual tiles. The game rules state that a correct placement will reach the marked targets using all the given tiles. We therefore need to place all tiles from the tile bank for each minipuzzle and correctly orient each tile with a [?].

One of the tiles that we need to place in each minipuzzle is the single green beam splitter. Extracting the letters marked by the beam splitter location from green grid at the bottom gives the very thematic answer CAT TOYS.

Authors' Notes

This is one of those puzzles wholly inspired by the answer phrase. teammate has a lot of cat lovers =^.^= and occasionally it shows, especially when we gather together in one room.

We would particularly like to thank Wei-Hua Huang, one of the Laser Maze level developers and a fellow puzzlehunter, for this inadvertent inspiration.
