Ready, set, solve.
Everything you need to begin your first puzzle, whether you're swiping on a phone or clicking on a desktop.
Path Finder: the rules
- Begin at 1. The first checkpoint is already selected for you.
- Make one connected line. Move to a square directly above, below, left, or right. Diagonals don't count.
- Reach each number in order. Follow 1, 2, 3 and so on. You cannot skip ahead.
- Visit every square exactly once. Finish on the highest checkpoint number after filling the entire board.
- Don't cross the dark walls. Barriers between squares block the path.
Controls
On a phone or tablet, drag your finger across adjacent squares or tap them one at a time. On desktop, drag with the mouse, click neighboring squares, or focus the board and press the arrow keys.
Undo takes back your last move. Restart clears the current attempt. Hint reveals a step on one valid solution route; if you've taken a different route, it may bring you back to the last matching step.
Practice and daily games
There are five practice levels of increasing size, and one daily puzzle shared by players for the same UTC calendar date. You can replay levels at any time.
