7 Billion Humans in IOS

Automate swarms of workers

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

92/100

7 Billion Humans is a brilliant follow-up to Human Resource Machine that scales the 'programming as a puzzle' concept to an absurd and hilarious level. Instead of controlling one worker, you are now programming a literal horde of office drones to solve complex logic tasks. The game uses a drag-and-drop language that mimics real-world parallel programming, teaching you how to coordinate multiple 'threads' (workers) to achieve a single goal.

The humor is razor-sharp, satirizing corporate culture and automation with a dark, quirky charm. The puzzles start simple but quickly become brain-meltingly difficult, requiring you to think about efficiency and edge cases. The jump from single-worker logic to multi-worker swarms adds a massive layer of complexity that feels fresh and rewarding. It's one of those rare games that makes you feel genuinely smarter after solving a level. Even if you have zero interest in actual coding, the logic puzzles here are some of the best designed in the genre.
