How to Play Arrow Escape: Rules, Strategy & Free Levels
Arrow Escape is a tap-based sequencing puzzle. Each arrow slides off the board in the direction it points, but only when its whole path to the edge is clear. Arrows block one another, so the real challenge is working out the order in which to release them so that every arrow can escape.

How to play Arrow Escape
- Tap to slide. Tapping an arrow sends it moving in the direction it points.
- Path must be clear. An arrow can only escape when nothing blocks its route to the edge.
- Order matters. Arrows obstruct each other, so the sequence you choose decides whether all can leave.
- Clear the board. The level is solved when every arrow has slid off.
Arrow Escape strategy & tips
- Look for arrows already pointing at an open edge — release those first to free the ones behind them.
- Trace each arrow's full path before tapping; one blocked arrow can trap a whole line.
- When stuck, work backwards from the last arrow you need to clear and see what must move before it.
