How to Play

Slide the wooden blocks, clear a path and guide the big red lock block out through the exit at the bottom of the tray.

The goal

Free the lock block

The board is a wooden tray of 4 columns and 5 rows. The big red 2×2 block is the lock block. Move the other blocks out of its way until it can slide down and out through the exit at the bottom.

Blocks can't be lifted, rotated or jump over each other — they only slide into empty space.

EXIT
Step by step

Your first puzzle

  1. Drag a block

    Touch any block and drag it up, down, left or right. It slides in a straight line into free space and snaps into place.

  2. Count your moves

    One move = one block slid in one straight line, however far it goes. The move counter at the top shows your total.

  3. Make room for the lock block

    Shuffle the smaller blocks around to open a 2-cell-wide path below the red block.

  4. Slide it out

    When the red block reaches the exit at the bottom centre, it slides out of the tray — puzzle solved!

  5. Collect stars and coins

    You earn 1 to 3 stars depending on how close you were to the fewest possible moves, plus coins for new levels.

Scoring

How stars work

Every level shows the best possible number of moves. The closer you get, the more stars you earn.

★★★ Three stars

Solve within a few moves of the best possible solution (the best score plus 3 moves or 30%, whichever is more).

★★ Two stars

Solve a little further from the best (the best score plus 8 moves or 80%, whichever is more).

★ One star

Solve the puzzle in any number of moves. You can always replay a level to improve your stars.

During play, the line under the scoreboard tells you how many moves you have left for 3 or 2 stars.

Difficulty

From Beginner to Expert

Each pack of 200 levels grows steadily harder. Solve a level to unlock the next one; Pack 2 (Master) opens after level 200 and Pack 3 (Tall Timber, with tall 1×3 logs) after level 400.

Game modes

Mode rules

Zen

No timer and no stars. Solve relaxed puzzles at your own pace and earn a few coins for each one.

Move Master

Each challenge shows a move limit. Undo is turned off. Use all your moves without solving and you can try again.

Time Attack

Start with 2 minutes. Solve short puzzles one after another — every solve adds 10 seconds. When time runs out, your score is the number of puzzles solved.

Daily Puzzle

One special puzzle per day, the same for everyone. Missed a day? Play it later from the calendar (last 30 days) for a few coins.

Weekly Event

Seven puzzles per week (Monday to Sunday). Each first solve pays coins, all seven pay a bonus, and 3 stars on all seven unlock the Champion board.

Memory

The board is shown for 3.5 seconds, then the blocks fade — only the lock block stays visible. A block shows while you drag it, and you can peek twice.

Workshop

Place blocks on an empty tray; the solver checks your puzzle can be solved and counts the fewest moves. Save it, play it, share its code.

Tips

Think like a master

Work backwards

Look at the exit and ask: which blocks must leave that space first? Plan the last moves, then find the first ones.

Keep space together

Two empty cells side by side are more useful than two separated ones. Try to keep the gaps next to each other.

Use undo wisely

You get free undos in every attempt. Undo a few moves when you notice you've blocked the path.

Replay for 3 stars

Solved it? Replay the level with what you learned — the second try is often much shorter.

Rewind to best

Took a wrong turn? In the pause menu, Rewind to best takes you back to the last point from which 3 stars are still possible.

Keep the streak

Win levels with 3 stars in a row for streak bonuses at 3, 5 and 10 wins.
