What is Arrow Escape?

Arrow Escape is a one-way sliding puzzle where every colored line has a triangular arrow pointing toward its exit. Tap a line and the whole thing crawls off the board—unless another line blocks its head. Your job is to sort out the leaving order, empty the board, and keep your move count low.

How to play Arrow Escape

1

1. Follow the arrow

Tap a colored line to send it sliding in its arrow's fixed direction. The whole line leaves in one successful move.

2

2. Clear the blockers

If another line occupies the space directly ahead of a line's head, it won't budge. Remove the blocking line first; blocked taps don't cost a move.

3

3. Empty the board

Keep sending lines out until none remain. The win screen compares your move count with the level's par.

4

4. Get a closer look

Pinch with two fingers to zoom from 1–4x, and drag with one finger to pan around the board.

5

5. Call in a little help

Use a hint to light up a line that can move right now. Undo and restart are available too.

Why give these arrows a nudge?

🧩

The order is the puzzle

Every arrow has a fixed direction, so clearing the board means figuring out which lines need to leave first.

🎮

More boards when you want them

Beyond the 30-level campaign, daily puzzles offer a fresh board and endless mode turns up the density.

A little help untangling

1

Check the head first

A line can't move if the space immediately ahead of its head is occupied by another line. That blocker needs to leave before the stuck line can go.

💡Look directly ahead of the arrow before tapping.

2

Use a hint when you're stuck

The hint lights up a line that can move right now, giving you a concrete next option.

💡Request a hint when you can't spot a free line.

What's on the board?

1

30 campaign levels

Work through 30 main levels that unlock one after another. Each has a par for comparing your final move count.

2

A fresh daily puzzle

A new board arrives every day when you want another knot of lines to untangle.

3

Endless, and increasingly crowded

Endless mode keeps the boards coming, with denser layouts as you go.

4

Help without the guesswork

Hints highlight a line that's currently free to move. Undo and restart give you ways to revisit your choices.

5

Set the mood

Choose a dark or light theme, switch between English and Chinese, and toggle the sound.
