## What is HAKO?

The classic Japanese wooden puzzle "Hakoiri-musume" — known worldwide as Klotski or Huarong Dao — now on your phone.

Get the big block to the exit. That is the whole rule. And yet you will sit there, sliding one piece at a time, until the path finally appears.

HOW TO PLAY
• Slide the blocks with your finger
• Guide the largest block to the EXIT to clear the level
• Beat the target move count — retry as often as you like

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 20 hand-tuned levels, from a 7-move warm-up to an 83-move monster
• Personal best moves and time saved for every level
• UNDO any move, any time
• A Daily Challenge that changes every day
• 6 themes: Wood, Classic, Animals, Food, Space and Ocean

GOOD FOR
• A quiet brain teaser on the commute or in a waiting room
• Playing with the sound off, anywhere
• Offline play — no connection needed

No sign-up, free to play. If you enjoy sliding block puzzles, unblock-style logic games or classic tile puzzles, this one is for you.

How few moves will it take you?
