Every arrow needs a way out. Jester Hex is a hex-based tap away puzzle that is easy to learn and genuinely hard to master. Tap a block and it moves in the direction of its arrow, but only when the path ahead is clear. Remove the right blocks, uncover the layers beneath them, and keep solving until the entire board is empty. 6,000 PUZZLES TO MASTER Journey through 60 chapters and 6,000 unique, solvable levels. Boards grow from a handful of blocks to massive puzzles stacked up to six layers deep. SIMPLE RULES. DEEP PUZZLES. - Follow the arrows - Find an open path - Clear blocks from the board - Reveal hidden layers - Solve the entire puzzle No guessing required. Every level has a solution, and every solution is reachable by logic alone. EARN YOUR STARS Clear a board without a blocked tap or a power-up for a perfect three stars. Chain quick clears into combos, and watch your progress climb chapter by chapter on the Hex Journey map. POWER THROUGH TOUGH PUZZLES Need some help? Use a Hint to reveal a possible move, smash a troublesome block with the Hammer, or unleash a Bomb to clear a whole cluster of blocks. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY Solve the Daily Challenge for a free hammer and bomb, and build your streak on the daily calendar. Open Jester Hex seven days in a row for a big bonus of hints, hammers and bombs.
