Square Giving Circle Launch Puzzles

Tipsy Trip Hints

A colorful tic-tac-toe board with various shapes, including crosses, circles, squares, and plus signs, arranged in a grid. A three-dimensional cube at the start position points to the game path, leading to the end.

  • The cube cannot move directly from a space onto another with the same shape (or color), even if one shape is "filled" and the other is "hollow".

  • Two spaces on the grid are completely inaccessible.

  • Ignoring any path that revisits spaces, there are exactly four paths from "start" to "end".
