How to play

The cube has six square faces. Drag to rotate. Tap any occupied cell on an arrow; its head moves straight off its face and its body follows the bends.

Clear the arrows that block an exit. More than one arrow can leave at a time. Blocked taps cost no move.

Pinch to zoom and reposition. Fit restores the balanced view. Undo and hints are free. Hold an arrow to trace it without moving it.

Keyboard: arrow keys rotate, + / − zoom, H reveals a hint, Enter clears it.

How to play the 3D Cube arrow puzzle

  1. Drag the cube to look at its six faces. Use Fit to reset the view.
  2. Find an arrowhead and inspect the path in the direction it points. Tap any part of that arrow when its exit is clear.
  3. The head travels out and the body follows its bends. Remove blockers to open more exits.
  4. Clear every arrow to finish the level, then choose Next cube to continue.

A blocked tap costs no move. Open the game menu for free Hint and Undo, or hold an arrow to inspect its path. For help reading a crowded face, see how to solve a 3D arrow cube puzzle. The 2D Flat beginner guide is a simpler place to learn the exit rule first.

Does rotating the cube change the puzzle?

No. Rotating Cube changes your viewpoint, not the arrows' directions or the board. Compare the 2D and 3D modes. In Shift, linked arrows really do turn after a move; that is a different rule.

Why is an arrow blocked even after I rotate the cube?

Rotating only changes your view. Follow the piece to its head, then check the straight exit lane on that head’s face. The body may wrap around a corner, but the head does not turn the corner to find a way out. Clear a blocking piece first, or use Hint from the game menu. A legal removal in Cube only opens space; it does not ruin a solvable board.

Can I play an arrow puzzle without a timer?

Cube displays elapsed time and records personal bests. Choose Shift for an arrow puzzle without a timer. Shift’s arrows turn after linked pieces leave, so the move preview matters more than speed.

Is it free, and can I play on my phone?

Yes. All three modes are free to play in a modern browser on a phone or computer. No account or app installation is required. Flat and Cube include free Hint and Undo; Shift includes Undo and three hints per attempt.

Will my progress be saved?

Progress is saved in the browser on this device. It does not automatically sync between a phone and a computer, and clearing site data can remove it. See browser play and saving explained before switching devices.
