Impasse — Daily Arrow Puzzle

Zenova AI

About this game

Every other arrow puzzle can be solved by tapping at random. Impasse can't.

Tap an arrow and it slides in the direction it points. If the run is clear it
leaves the board. If something is in the way it stops where it hits — and stays
there, now blocking someone else.

That one rule is the whole game. It means the order you tap in genuinely
matters, and it means you can get it wrong. Park an arrow in the wrong place
and you can jam the board completely.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
One board, the same for everyone, every day. Two or three minutes. Build a
streak. Then share how cleanly you solved it.

PLAY AS LONG AS YOU LIKE
Endless mode serves boards matched to your skill rating — hard enough to be
worth a perfect, never hopeless. Nearly 14,000 hand-verified boards.

A SKILL RATING, NOT A LEVEL COUNTER
Match par on a hard board and your rating climbs. Boards below your level stop
paying. It is the only way to know how good you actually are.

EVERY BOARD IS SOLVED BEFORE YOU SEE IT
Every puzzle is checked by a solver before it ships. Par is the genuine optimal
solution, not an estimate. There are no unsolvable boards and no filler.

QUIET BY DESIGN
No timers. No lives. No hearts to run out of. Unlimited undo, always free.
Nothing interrupts you mid-thought. Works completely offline — there is no
account, no sign-in, and nothing to connect to.
