Snake Puzzle: Tap to Escape

Which snake can get out first? This snake puzzle turns a crowded board into a game of routes and timing. Tap a snake to send it in the direction its head faces. Find a clear path, make space for the others, and get them all out before the countdown ends.

Follow the whole route
A gap in front of a snake is only part of the picture. Its path may be blocked farther ahead by another winding body. Look across the board and choose the escape that opens up your next move. As snakes leave, new routes appear.

Tap to escape
• Check where each snake is facing.
• Trace the path ahead before you tap.
• Send snakes out in an order that frees the others.
• Avoid hitting other snakes: yours will return and you'll lose a life.
• Empty the board before time runs out.

Read the obstacles
Some boards add numbered blockers and black holes. A successful escape lowers the blocker counts; a snake that reaches a black hole gets pulled in. Think about what's on the route as well as what's blocking it.

Use zoom on large boards to get a closer look at tight turns and crowded paths. Drag the enlarged view to follow a route across the board. Hints become available as you progress to help you look for a next move, though you'll still need to watch for obstacles.

If you enjoy maze puzzles and tap-to-clear games, try untangling the board one escape at a time. The controls are easy to pick up, but a well-chosen move can change the whole layout. Look ahead, make room, and find the next way out.
