Why play Arrow Rush on Arcadity

  • Start with arrows whose paths already reach the edge without obstruction.
  • Each removal can unlock several new exits, so rescan the board after every move.
  • Protect your lives by checking the full forward line before you tap.

How to play Arrow Rush

  1. Tap or click an arrow. Follow the direction of its tip, even when its body bends around the board.
  2. Trace a straight line from that tip to the edge. If another arrow crosses this line, remove the blocker first.
  3. Rescan after every removal. Clear the board before the timer ends; a full clear earns time and remaining-life bonuses.

Which arrow can leave first?

This is the complete 15 × 15 board from level 2000003 in Arrow Rush's easy catalog. A, B and C highlight three real arrows; the other arrows stay visible in gray. These are rule diagrams, not gameplay screenshots.

Initial board: green A follows the outside border and exits right. Gold B points down into A; blue C points right into B.

Start

A can leave to the right. B is blocked by A at the red ×; C is blocked by B. A clear-looking gap beside an arrow is not an exit.

After removing A, the dashed gold line from B's tip reaches the bottom edge without a blocker. C is still blocked by B.

1. Remove A

A's tip is at the top-right edge. Its forward line is clear, so remove A. The entire green arrow disappears and opens B's downward exit.

After removing A and B, blue C has a clear dashed exit to the right edge.

2. Remove B

Now B can leave downward. Remove the entire gold arrow; this also removes the part of B that was blocking C's rightward line.

The same board after removing A, B and C. Nine other arrows remain.

3. Remove C

C can now leave to the right. Three arrows are gone and nine remain. Rescan the remaining tips instead of repeating this order on a different board.

Letters identify arrows. A dashed line shows the next clear exit; the red × marks B's initial blocker. Colors are teaching highlights, not extra game rules.

Why not tap B first?

B's tip points down. Just one cell ahead, it meets the horizontal part of A. A blocker can be another arrow's body, not only its tip. B cannot leave until A is removed.

Try the same arrow puzzle right here

Tap or click the arrows in this playable window. It is the same 12-arrow easy board shown above, with the normal two-minute timer and three lives.

Start with the long orange arrow around the outside: its tip points right from the top-right corner. Then check the two arrows inside the lower-right square.

Practice scores do not count toward competitions. Restart this board any time, or continue to the match lobby when you are ready.

Read the exit, then make the move

  1. Start at the arrowhead, not the tail. The last segment tells you which direction to trace.
  2. Check every cell ahead, including cells close to the edge. Another arrow's bent body can still block the line.
  3. After an arrow leaves, inspect the arrows it was blocking. One removal may unlock more than one move.
  4. Avoid random taps: clearing arrows earns points, while completing the board unlocks time and life bonuses.

Arrow Rush questions

Can I play Arrow Rush free on my phone?

Yes. Play in a mobile or desktop browser without downloading an app. Tap an arrow on a phone or click it on desktop.

Does the entire arrow need a clear corridor?

The rule checks the straight line ahead of the arrowhead. A bent body does not create extra exit directions; another arrow's body on the forward line still blocks the move.

How many blocked moves can I make?

The first three penalties consume your three lives; the fourth ends the run. Repeated taps on the same blocked arrow before a successful removal do not add another penalty.

How is my score calculated?

Escaped arrows contribute to the score for the selected difficulty. Completing the board adds bonuses for time and lives remaining. An incomplete board does not receive those completion bonuses.

Are Arcadity matches played at the same time?

Matches are asynchronous: players complete their own attempts and compare results under the same match conditions. Available formats and time limits are shown in the lobby.
