Zipstache: Zip Puzzle Game

Zipstache is a zip puzzle with a cat in it. Draw one path, connect the numbered bowls in order, fill every tile.

The cat is Pistache. Ginger kitten, little green spot on his cheek, big fan of walks. You draw the route with one finger.

The rules fit on a napkin: visit every tile, follow the numbered food bowls in order, and finish in his basket. Sounds easy? Give it a few levels.

Zipstache is a cozy logic puzzle game about finding the right path. Every room brings something new to think about, and Pistache is counting on you to figure it out.

A HOUSE FULL OF PUZZLES

It starts with a simple grid. Then the house gets involved.

- Tunnels: in one end, out the other. Don't ask how.

- Stools: one tile you can cross twice, straight through both times.

- Cat flaps: step on the button first. Pistache learned this the hard way.

- Covered bowls: the number is hidden. The others give it away.

- Clocks: arrive on exactly the right step.

- Rooms: once you leave, the door shuts behind you.

- Biscotte: a cheeky little mouse who moves one tile every time you move. Stay out of her way.

You'll need to plan ahead, follow the numbers, and work out how to cover the whole grid without getting stuck.

THREE FISH PER WALK

Every puzzle has three goals: Done, Fast, and Perfect.

Perfect means finding the right path on your first try, without backtracking. You can lift your finger to think whenever you want. Pistache isn't in a hurry.

PISTACHE'S WALL

Finish chapters to unlock keepsake photos of Pistache. Some are rarer than others, and the special ones shine.

Use the fish you've earned to buy fancy frames and decorate his wall.

He has expensive taste for a cat who sleeps in a cardboard box.

A NEW PHOTO EVERY WEEK

Come back each day and watch a mystery photo slowly develop, just like a Polaroid. On day seven, it joins your collection.

DAILY PUZZLES AND BISCOTTE'S CHALLENGES

There's a new logic puzzle every day, with the same grid for everyone. Solve it, check your time, and see how you compare on the leaderboard.

Every week, Biscotte has another idea: five puzzles against the clock.

She says she plays fair. We're not entirely convinced.

EXPLORE THE HOUSE

From the sunny kitchen to the dusty attic, down to the cellar and up onto the rooftops, every chapter introduces a new twist.

There's also a library full of puzzles waiting for you. Pistache has a lot of exploring to do.

A LITTLE BREAK FOR YOUR BRAIN

No lives to lose. No need to rush unless you're chasing a faster time.

Just colourful rooms, gentle sounds, a curious kitten, and plenty of clever little brain teasers to work through.

Zipstache is free to play. Hints are available when you're stuck, including through optional rewarded ads. A one-time purchase removes ads.

If you like zip puzzles, number path games or a daily brain teaser, Pistache is ready for his next walk. Have you found the path?
