Play Pocket Routes

Open the game and begin with the first town. Read the delivery labels and move to a neighboring street square to start your route.

Plan a delivery route through a tiny town. Deliver parcels to open shortcuts and return within the move budget. Eighteen puzzles include the original twelve routes, three Advanced routes and three Expert routes, with Undo and step-by-step hints.

How to play

The courier starts at the depot. Move one square at a time along streets, up, down, left or right. You cannot move diagonally or cross a wall.
Arriving at a delivery stop delivers its parcel automatically. Some stops also open matching gates, making those squares passable for the rest of that route.
Each successful step spends one move. The number shown for the level is the entire route budget, including your return journey.
Plan a visit to every stop, then return to the depot within the budget. Press Run route to complete the deliveries. Returning early does not finish a route with parcels still to deliver.
Undo removes the last step and restores the deliveries and gates to their previous state. Reset puts the courier back at the depot and clears the route.
Hint suggests one next step rather than playing for you. The eighteen levels are fixed puzzles. Open All routes to choose the original twelve, Advanced routes 13–15 or Expert routes 16–18.

Controls

Mouse or touch: Click or tap a street square next to the courier. Use Undo, Reset or Hint whenever you need them.
Keyboard: Arrow keys move the focus between squares; Enter or Space selects a square. U undoes, R resets and H shows a hint. Tab moves between the game’s buttons.

Score and progress

Finish all deliveries and return to the depot within the displayed move budget. There is no countdown, and asking for a hint does not require watching an ad or paying. Completed levels stay on this browser when local storage is available.

Tips

Look for the depot first. Visiting every stop is only part of the route: leave enough moves to get home.
Match each delivery with the gate it opens. A stop that seems out of the way may unlock a much shorter route.
Count street steps, not the straight-line distance. Walls and closed gates can make a nearby stop harder to reach.
Use Undo to compare two routes. If Hint cannot find a finish from your current position, take back a detour or reset the route.

Questions before you play

What is the goal in Pocket Routes?

Visit every delivery stop, then return to the starting depot without exceeding the level’s move budget. Some deliveries open matching gates so you can reach new streets or take a shorter way home.

Does Pocket Routes have a timer or a daily puzzle?

There is no time limit. The collection contains eighteen fixed puzzles: the original twelve routes, three Advanced routes and three Expert routes. It is not a daily puzzle.

Where are the harder routes?

Open All routes and choose Advanced routes 13–15 or Expert routes 16–18. These add four or five delivery stops and tighter move budgets. You can select them directly, and your original route progress stays on this browser.

Can I undo a move or ask for help?

Yes. Undo takes back the last step, Reset starts the current route again, and Hint suggests the next step of a route that can still finish within the move budget. If your route cannot finish, undo a step or reset.

Is Pocket Routes free?

Yes. The game, all eighteen levels, Undo and Hint are free in your browser. No account, download, ad viewing or payment is required.
