How to play
Watch a connected walk appear one square at a time. After the grid clears, tap the same squares in that order. Each step must sit next to the last.
Why a grid walk
The task is a route through neighboring squares, not a set of lit tiles and not a growing color chime.
Difficulty
Easy uses a 3×3 grid and 4 steps, Medium uses a 4×4 grid and 6 steps, and Hard uses a 5×5 grid and 8 steps.
