How do I play?

Swipe on the board to slide your fox and every flower planter. Hedges, edges, and resting pieces stop a slide. Finish with your fox resting at the fountain after exactly three effective moves.

Passing over the fountain does not finish a puzzle. A swipe that moves no pieces uses no move; a moving planter uses a move even if your fox stays still.

How do I remove ads?

Open Remove Ads from Home or Settings. Where available, the App Store shows the one-time price in your currency before you confirm. Use Restore Purchases with the same App Store account after reinstalling or changing devices. Resetting puzzle progress does not erase your purchase. If the store is unavailable, you can keep playing for free.

When do ads appear?

Ads appear only at occasional completed-puzzle transitions. They do not interrupt a puzzle, tutorial, retry, or chapter celebration. If an ad is unavailable, the game continues. Advertising privacy choices are available in Settings when required for your region.

I’m stuck

Undo and Retry are unlimited. Hint reveals one next move from your current position. Show Why explains the stop, and Show Remaining Moves reveals the rest. If no winning route remains, undo or retry. Hints never reduce completion credit.

How do switches work?

Stop any piece on a pressure stone to open its matching bamboo gate after the slide. The new route is available on the next move. Passing over a pressure stone does not activate it. Open gates stay open until you undo that activation or restart.

Circle and diamond symbols identify the two circuit pairs.

How do I unlock chapters?

Complete any eight puzzles in a chapter to unlock the next. Every puzzle in an unlocked chapter can be selected. Complete all 48 to finish the collection.

Accessibility and sound

Settings includes direction buttons, increased board contrast, and separate ambience, sound effect, and haptic controls. Direction buttons appear automatically with VoiceOver. Inspect Board describes the board row by row. Animation follows your iPhone’s Reduce Motion setting.

Where is my progress?

Your progress stays on this device. There is no account or cloud synchronization. Reset Progress erases completion and the current attempt. Removing the app removes its local data; device backups are managed by Apple and your settings.

Three Moves works entirely offline. All 48 puzzles are included, with occasional ads between completed puzzles and an optional one-time Remove Ads purchase. Advertising and purchases require a connection; puzzles do not. Read the privacy policy.
