Connect every spool with one unbroken chain. Draw a path from spool to spool until every link is used. One wrong turn, and the chain can’t finish — so each move matters. NEW LOOK, SAME PUZZLES Chains has a new design: a calm board, a clear chain, and light or dark theme. The logic is unchanged. Only the look is new. MASTER THE PERFECT SOLUTION Clearing a level is just the start. Earn up to 3 spools when you solve without hints or restarts. Finish every pack and collect them all. HINTS THAT GUIDE, NOT SPOIL Stuck? A hint can show the next steps, or rewind your chain to the moment the path went wrong — so you still find the route yourself. PUZZLES THAT GROW WITH YOU Each pack gets harder. • One-way chains that change how you plan • New layouts that need a second look • Levels paced for patience, not speed WHAT’S INSIDE • 216 logic puzzles in 9 packs • More packs coming • One-line chain gameplay • Smart rewind hints • Up to 3 spools per level • Light and dark themes • No timers, no lives, no pressure Play for a few minutes, or work through every pack. Every puzzle has a path. Can you find it?
