Beat the Grid
Read full descriptionHide full description
One line. Every cell. One deeply satisfying solve. Beat the Grid is a minimalist logic puzzle with a single rule: link every cell in one unbroken stroke. Slide your finger from cell to cell to trace your path. Cover the whole grid without crossing a wall or stepping back onto a cell you've already drawn. Easy to learn, deeply satisfying to master. A clean, neon-on-dark design and a calm pace make it the perfect puzzle to relax with — and a real brain-teaser when the grids get tricky. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Campaign — around 100 hand-crafted levels of rising difficulty. Earn up to 3 stars per level and unlock new mechanics as you go. • Time Attack — solve as many grids as you can before the clock runs out (1, 2 or 5 minutes). Beat your best score. • Daily Puzzle — one fresh grid every day. Build a streak, chase your best time, and share your result. MASTER THE OBJECTIVES Special levels add optional twists: start on a given cell, end on another, or hit a marked cell at exactly the right step. Special cells (bombs, blockers) shake up your route. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • No timers or pressure in Campaign — play at your own pace. • A satisfying "one perfect line" feeling on every solve. • Free and fair: a single optional purchase removes ads — that's it. No energy system, no paywalls, no pay-to-win. • Achievements, streaks and personal bests to chase. • Colour-blind mode and reduced-motion support. • Plays great offline. Trace the line. Beat the grid.
