Arrow Out Puzzle
GAME INFO
What is the goal of the game?
In Arrow Out: Free the Arrows, students face a grid packed with colorful arrows. The goal is to clear every arrow from the board by tapping them in the right order. Each arrow slides out in the direction it points, so players must check that its path is clear before tapping. Clear the level with no mistakes to earn 3 stars.
Recommended age and educational level
Recommended for students ages 6 and up, from 1st grade through middle school. Early levels introduce the rules step by step, and later levels add new obstacles that challenge older students too.
How to play: single-player or multiplayer
This is a single-player logic puzzle. Here's how it works:
- Tap an arrow to send it out in the direction it points.
- If anything blocks its path, it crashes and you lose a heart. You get 3 hearts per level.
- Long arrows bend as they move: the whole body follows the tip.
- Rocks never move, so you need to find another route.
- Ice arrows need one tap to break the ice and another to slide out.
- A padlock blocks the way until the arrow carrying its key leaves the board.
Use the Undo and Hint buttons when needed, earn coins, and unlock new levels on the map.
