How to Play
Master the art of connecting colored paths in this minimalist puzzle game
What are Numberlink Puzzles?
ChromaPath is based on Numberlink puzzles, a classic logic puzzle where you connect pairs of identical numbers or symbols with paths that fill the entire grid. In our version, we use colored endpoints instead of numbers, but the core concept remains the same.
Key Rules:
- • Connect each pair of colored endpoints
- • Paths cannot cross each other
- • Every cell must be filled with a path
- • Each path must be continuous
Puzzle Origins:
Numberlink puzzles originated in Japan and are popular in puzzle magazines and newspapers worldwide. They're known for their elegant simplicity and satisfying solutions.
Objective
Connect all colored endpoints on the board by drawing paths between them. Each color must connect to its matching endpoint, and paths cannot cross each other. The goal is to fill the entire grid with connected paths.
