How to Play
Arrow Escape
Arrow Escape fills the board with tangled arrows. Each arrow can only leave in the direction it points, and other arrows may be in the way. Tap the arrows in the right order to slide them off the board until it is empty.
Rules
- Every arrow points in one direction. You can tap it to slide it off the board only if its path in that direction is completely clear.
- Tapping an arrow whose path is blocked does nothing. Clear whatever is blocking it first.
- The puzzle is solved once every arrow has left the board.
- At any point, at least one arrow is free to move, so you never have to guess.
Tips & Strategy
- Look for arrows pointing straight at the edge of the board with nothing in front of them. These are always safe to clear first.
- Clearing an arrow often frees the arrow that was stuck behind it. Work from the edges toward the middle.
- If you're stuck, check the direction of every arrow one by one instead of re-checking the same few arrows over and over.
- Plan two or three moves ahead when you can. Clearing arrows in the right order keeps you from getting stuck.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I tap an arrow that can't move yet?
- Nothing, the tap is simply ignored. Clear whichever arrow is blocking its path first, then it can slide off.
- Is there always a way to clear the whole board?
- Yes. Every layout always leaves at least one arrow free to slide, all the way down to the last one, so finding the right tap order never depends on luck.
- Does the direction an arrow points ever change?
- No. Each arrow keeps its direction for the whole game. Arrows only leave the board when you slide them off.
