How to play Pearl

Trace a single unbroken loop through every pearl. White pearls sit on a straight passage with a turn beside them. Black pearls sit on a turn with straight passages beside them.

On this sample: Drag center to center to draw, reverse to erase, or tap an edge to cycle its marker.

  1. The finished route is one closed loop and never crosses or branches.
  2. Pass straight through each white pearl, then turn in at least one adjacent cell.
  3. Turn on each black pearl, then continue straight through both adjacent cells.
