Connect bridges between islands to form one interconnecting path! Hashi are addictive bridge-connecting puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages. Each puzzle is based on a rectangular arrangement of circles, where each circle represents an island and the number in each island tells how many bridges are connected to it. The object is to connect all islands according to the number of bridges so that there are no more than two bridges in the same direction and all bridges are interconnected enabling passage from any island to another. To create a bridge simply swipe your fingertip between two islands. The game also features highlighting options, helping see in which directions bridges are allowed and whether an island segment is about to become isolated. To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved.

Both are free to download. Hashi sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Hashi Solver sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hashi holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hashi has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Hashi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hashi Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hashi ships an update every 4 months, Hashi Solver every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
