About

Route Rescue

Read full description

Route Rescue is a transit puzzle about drawing the perfect metro map — and redrawing it when everything goes wrong. Each city starts quiet: a few stations, one line, a single train. Then the crowds arrive. Draw new lines with one finger, reroute trains in real time, and keep every platform breathing before the network overloads. 150 HAND-CRAFTED LEVELS Master 5 regions and 20 cities — from your first line in Riverside to the flooded crossings of Old Meander and the peaks of Summit Gate. Every level is a puzzle with its own map, budget, and breaking point. THINK FAST, PLAN FASTER • Overcrowded platforms raise your crash risk — calm them before the meter hits 100% • VIP passengers pay five times the fare, but they won't wait forever • Power cuts and rush-hour surges will bend your best-laid plans • Boosters buy you time when the map turns against you BUILD YOUR DEPOT Collect 14 trains, complete blueprints from reward chests, and dress your fleet in liveries — from classic stripes to gleaming gold. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily challenges with fresh twists on familiar maps • Weekly events with leaderboards — race the world, or just your friends • Add friends with a simple code and compare weekly scores • A season track full of rewards for regular commuters MADE FOR PLAYERS • Learn in minutes with a friendly guided start • Play offline — progress syncs when you're back online • Optional sign-in backs up your progress across devices; no account required • Free to play, with optional purchases that support development All aboard — your city is waiting.
