About

Solo Test

Features
Read full description

Solo Test is the peg puzzle you have probably already played — the round wooden board with the red pegs, sitting on a shelf in half the houses in Turkey. Every hole is filled but one. Jump a peg over its neighbour into the empty hole, and the peg you jumped comes off the board. Keep going until no move is left. The rule takes ten seconds to learn. Finishing takes rather longer: the aim is to leave exactly one peg. THREE BOARDS • Classic (33 holes) — the English board. Land your last peg in the centre and the game is perfect. • European (37 holes) — wider, with more room to move. • Triangle (15 holes) — small, quick, and stubborn. THREE LOOKS • Modern — dark, flat, geometric. • Nostalgic — the red plastic board you remember. • Wooden — turned beech, dished holes and standing pawns, lit like the real object. WHAT IS IN IT • A hint button backed by a real solver rather than a guess: it finds a move that keeps the game winnable. • A warning when the position can no longer be won, so you know when to start again. • Three online leaderboards, one for each board. • Your own record: best result, games played, and your current streak. • Turkish and English. • A short tutorial the first time you play, and whenever you want it again. NO FUSS • No ads. • No sign-up. The leaderboard asks for a name and nothing else. • Plays entirely offline. Only the leaderboard needs a connection, and a score you set offline is sent the next time you have one.
