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.

Calm, tactile, and nothing on the puzzle screen but the puzzle. THE RULES • Every region gets exactly two shaded cells • Shaded cells form pairs, and a pair may cross region borders • Two pairs never touch edge to edge Hex makes the rules purer than the classic square version. No diagonals, no exceptions, no fine print. THREE LADDERS • 6×6, 8×8 and 10×10 boards, each with its own ladder • Over a thousand levels per size • A gentle ramp to start, then difficulty that rises and falls so no stretch becomes a grind • Everyone plays the same levels in the same order, so you can compare notes DAILY CHALLENGE • One new puzzle per size every day, the same for everyone in the world • One attempt, timed, ranked on Game Center leaderboards • Unlocks after 20 solved levels of that size, so you arrive ready BUILT FOR THINKING • Tap to mark a cell empty, double tap to shade it, drag to mark many at once • Free hints and unlimited undo on ladder levels • Learn the game in four guided levels • Progress syncs over iCloud between iPhone and iPad • The ladder plays offline NO INTERRUPTIONS No banners.
