Escapeit vs openpairs

You can't see the maze. You can only see the few steps around you. Escapeit is a path puzzle played in the dark. Every board hides an exit somewhere out there. Tap a cell next to your route and the maze lights up a little further ahead — then you decide, with no map and a limited number of tiles, which way to commit. Because that's the catch: every tap commits. There's no dragging a line around until it fits. Walk into a dead end and it costs a life, and you only get three. Undos and resets are counted too, and you earn them back by clearing boards. This is a puzzle about choosing carefully, not about retrying quickly. THE BOARDS • Endless generated mazes — every board is solvable by construction, and no two runs are the same • Reveal-as-you-go darkness: two steps of sight around your path, four on the expert boards • Size, shape and the placement of the exit are drawn fresh every time, so a difficulty is a range rather than a shape • Three lives per level, plus limited undos, resets and hints you earn back by finishing levels • Scored on the optimal route, not the one you walked — wandering never pays THE LONG GAME • A daily challenge: one expert maze, the same for every player, everywhere • Streaks — clear any level to keep yours alive, with a flame that changes as it grows and a calendar of every day you've played • Awards across multiple collections, each paying undos, resets and hints back into your meters • Nine board themes to unlock and play on • Leaderboards for the daily puzzle and for your all-time score • A stats screen for the whole record: levels cleared, win rate, time played by difficulty, best times and your daily results AND • A short tutorial to start with, if you want one • Cloud backup through Game Center — a new phone or a reinstall picks up where you left off • Light and dark themes, music and sound you can turn off • Plays fully offline. There's no account to create, and sign-in is optional — only the leaderboards and cloud backup use it • No ads. No purchases. No energy timers. Quiet, unhurried, and harder than it looks.

A matching pairs game for young children. Cards start face down. Turn two over: if they match, they stay up; if not, they turn back. Find every pair to finish the board. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No in-app purchases. No timers and no way to lose. openpairs never touches the network. It's just the game. You can even play it in airplane-mode. MADE FOR SMALL PLAYERS • Nothing to read: every card is a simple, bright shape • Pairs match by shape, not colour, so it works for colour-blind players too • Big cards with plenty of space between them • No timer, no score to chase, no losing — the board simply gets finished FIVE SIZES • Very Easy starts at three pairs, and Easy, Medium, Hard and Extra Hard add more • The board fits your screen: an iPad shows the biggest boards, and an iPhone quietly keeps the cards large enough for small fingers • Play upright or sideways, on iPhone or iPad FREE AND OPEN SOURCE openpairs is open source.
