A familiar unlock pattern becomes a memory challenge. Watch the route, remember the order, then drag from S to the flag to connect the dots. Each round gives you 30 seconds after the preview. Patterns grow as you progress, and the board adapts to your screen. Learn the gesture in a guided practice view, then aim for a new best score. Every game starts with 10 free hearts and 5 free hints. Wrong points cost a heart; a hint redraws the route. Earn a bonus heart at each 1,000-point milestone and a bonus hint every 2,000 points, up to 50 hearts and 25 hints held during a game. Need extra items? Hearts and hints are available through optional in-app purchases. Unused extra items return to your inventory when the game ends. Explore a draggable, connected menu and enjoy confetti when you complete a path. Compare scores through Game Center; sign-in and an internet connection are required for online rankings. There is no pause: leaving the app ends the game. How many paths can you remember?
