Questions

How do I play?

Take turns tapping the lines between dots. When you complete the fourth side of a box, you capture it and earn another turn. The player with the most points at the end wins.

What is Cat Scratch mode?

Hidden hazards and treats lurk beneath the grid. As you claim lines, clue numbers reveal how many surprises surround each box.

Treats give bonus points. Hazards vary — some cost you points, some take the box back along with the lines that made it, and some only cost you the extra turn you would have earned. You can toggle Cat Scratch mode on or off when setting up a game.

Can I play against the computer?

Yes. When setting up a new game, set any opponent to Easy, Medium, or Hard.

How many players can play?

Two to four, in any mix of human and computer players — one human against three opponents, or four humans passing the device around.

Can I resume a game later?

Yes. Your game saves automatically. Tap Resume Game on the home screen to pick up where you left off.

How do I change the appearance?

Settings, from the home screen. Light, dark, or match your system.

Does it work offline?

Entirely. No internet connection required.

Does it collect my data?

Anonymous usage analytics only — no names, emails, or advertising identifiers. See the privacy policy for the full detail.

The translation in my language reads oddly

Very possibly — they are AI-generated. Please tell me which language and roughly where, and I will fix it.
