Originality: This game is designed, coded and hosted by MiniGames UK with procedural artwork and locally generated audio.

How to play

  1. Follow each coloured thread from its numbered spool through the pin board and look for places where two or more loops share the same knot.
  2. A spool can only be removed when its thread is the top remaining layer at every shared knot; blocked taps flash the knot and identify the spool above it.
  3. Unwind every loop to clear the level, unlock the next weave and save your best stars and completion time.

Helpful tips

  • Start with bright spools whose threads visibly sit on top at several shared knots, because one removal often frees multiple lower layers.
  • After each unwind, re-check the flashing knot areas before moving elsewhere; the next available spool is often directly underneath the one you removed.
  • Three stars require a clean read, so use Undo for navigation mistakes and reserve Hint for dense later boards where many colours overlap.
