SEE HOW IT PLAYS

Start with the ring holding the clasp

This early demo puzzle links three bangles. The pink bangle is held by the yellow one, so the yellow opening is your first useful clue.

  1. Look at the clasp between the pink and yellow bangles. The pink piece cannot turn while that clasp is held.
  2. Drag around the yellow bangle’s center to bring its opening to the clasp. The bangle rotates in place.
  3. Once a clasp releases, look for the next piece you can move. Free all three bangles to finish.

How to play

  1. Drag around a bangle's centre to rotate it. Bangles stay in place; they do not slide.
  2. Turn a bangle until its opening lines up with a charm clasped through it. The charm releases, freeing the piece it held.
  3. A piece that is still clasped cannot move. Free its clasps first, and turn blocking bangles aside when you need room.
  4. Slide hairpins only along their arrows. Release their clasps and guide them out of any slots holding them.
  5. Free every piece to finish the puzzle. As you clear levels, collect thank-you gifts and bring them home to the nest.
