Only the pencil on top can move. Can you read the pile? One simple rule: pick up a pencil only when nothing is lying on it. Pencil Pull is a calm 3D logic puzzle inspired by the classic game of pick-up sticks. Follow the overlaps and shadows, find the pencil that is really on top and clear the whole pile. Tap the wrong one and you lose a life. EASY TO START, HARD TO PUT DOWN • One tap to pick a pencil, two fingers to zoom in on big piles • Endless levels that slowly get harder, made right on your phone • Calm and quiet, yet every move needs a plan SPECIAL LEVELS • Golden pencils hidden deep in the pile • Against the clock: every second counts • One life: no room for mistakes • Clear pencils you can see straight through PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Weekly and all-time leaderboards: points for every level, extra points for speed • A fresh weekly race every Monday • Invite friends: they start with 3 free hints, and you get 3 hints and a free continue for each friend who clears level 3 COLLECT AND SHOW OFF • Three stars on every level • 23 badges to earn • 19 pencil styles to unlock, from Rainbow and Candy Cane to a fountain pen • Game Center achievements MADE FOR YOU • Hints when you get stuck, and a free continue every day • Light and dark themes • Progress kept safe with iCloud • Play offline, anywhere • In 17 languages Pencil Pull is free to play with ads.

Take a breath, look at the pile and pull the first pencil.
