About this game

Some ropes are lying to you. A cut that looks perfectly safe can silently kill the level — and you may not find out until it's far too late. Think first. Then cut.

🕊️ THE SETUP
A rope-cutting logic puzzle: small blue birds hang from a tree branch, tied by ropes — and hungry hawks hang right beside them. Cut the right ropes in the right order to free every bird. Free a hawk by mistake and it attacks the nearest bird. Level over.

☠️ POISONED CUTS
The signature twist. Some cuts don't punish you now — they punish you later. A harmless-looking snip can quietly close off every path to victory, and some traps only reveal the damage several cuts down the line. If you're not planning ahead, you're already losing.

⚖️ RUTHLESS, BUT FAIR
• The moment a level becomes unsolvable, the game detects it and tells you instantly — no time wasted on a dead position.
• Every level is guaranteed solvable by construction. If you lost, the flaw was in your plan, not the puzzle.
• No timers. No speed pressure. No luck. Pure deduction and planning.

🪤 THE TRAPS EVOLVE
New elements unlock as you climb:
• Chained traps — hawks that share lifelines; a wrong cut early in the level shows its consequence at the very end.
• Iron chains that cannot be cut, welding towers together.
• Twin ropes — cut one, and its twin snaps too, wherever it is.
• The balloon hawk — the only hawk that is safe to release. If you notice it.
• Golden levels — a limited scissors budget in exchange for double points.

⭐ CHASE THE PERFECT SOLUTION
• 3 stars per level, scored against the optimal solution.
• Points and a win-streak system reward mastery and speed of thought.
• Past level 100: an extreme challenge tier built for puzzle geniuses.

♾️ INFINITE LEVELS
Levels are procedurally generated on your device — they never repeat, and the difficulty keeps climbing. There is no final level. There is only how far your logic can take you.

💡 STUCK? NO SHAME IN A HINT
Optionally watch a short ad for a hint that lights up the correct rope — or to undo your last cut, even after losing. Never required.

🎟️ FREE — WITH RESPECTFUL ADS
Poisoned Rope is free and ad-supported, on clear terms:
• No banner ads. Ever.
• No ad will ever interrupt you mid-puzzle.
• A full-screen ad appears occasionally between levels only — and never in the first levels.
• A single one-time purchase removes ads permanently. No subscriptions.

✈️ PLAYS OFFLINE
Levels are generated on your device, so the puzzle itself needs no internet — on the plane, on the train, or wherever you happen to be hiding from your to-do list.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush: take the safe bird first, and don't get greedy. Download now and make your first cut count. ✂️🐦
Cuts that look safe can kill the level silently.

What’s new

The branch has moved to the top. Everything you were trying to save now hangs beneath it.

Cut a rope and the board swings, harder each time. Anything left hanging from one point drops under its own weight and settles somewhere new — your next cut is aimed at a rope that has moved.

The hawk got a full redesign: new vector art matching the blue bird's detail, tense breathing while tied, and a sharp diving strike instead of the old generic flap.

Your progress and stars are fully saved.
