About

Trail Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Trail Puzzle is a simple but tricky color-route puzzle game presented by DAM Games. Your goal is easy: move each box to the exit with the same color. But every box leaves a colored trail behind as it moves. Sometimes that trail opens the way, and sometimes one wrong move can lock the whole board. The first levels teach the rules step by step. After that, things get tighter: exits become smaller, blockers get in the way, boxes start in awkward positions, timed stages add pressure, and every move needs a little more thought. It is easy to play in short sessions, but some levels will make you want to try one more time. Features: - Easy one-finger dragging - Colored trails left behind by moving boxes - 500 levels with increasing difficulty - Smaller exits, blockers, expanded boards, and tricky route locks - Hints, resets, and extra moves when you get stuck - Clean, colorful puzzle boards Move the boxes in the right order, avoid blocking your own paths, and send every package to the correct exit.
