Signpost – Connect the Squares into a Path – Puzzle Game
Signpost
In Signpost, you are presented with a grid of squares. Each square (except the last one) contains an arrow, and some squares also contain numbers.
Your job is to connect the squares to form a continuous list of numbers starting at 1 and linked in the direction of the arrows – so the arrow inside the square with the number 1 will point to the square containing the number 2, which will point to the square containing the number 3, etc. Each square can be any distance away from the previous one, as long as it is somewhere in the direction of the arrow
This game is an implementation of Pfeilpfad.
The rules of the game:
- Write a number from 1 to N (= number of cells) into each cell of the diagram; some numbers are already given
- An arrow in a cell points to the not necessarily adjacent cell with the next number
- Each cell must be used exactly once
Game modes:
