Screenshots
From your first tap to a 100-arrow board: here is how OutTheyGo looks while you play.
Learn it in seconds
A tiny interactive tutorial teaches the one rule before Level 1 starts.
Pick up where you left off
Your level, streak and hint balances live right on the home screen.
Boards that grow with you
Level 1 starts with ten arrows. Hundreds of levels later, boards hold over a hundred.
Curves, bends and chains
Longer levels mix U-turns and staircases, so the escape order gets deeper.
How it works
One rule. Deeper and deeper boards.
An arrow escapes only when every cell in front of it is empty. Each move changes what can leave next, so the puzzle is the order, not the tap.
-
Read the route
Follow the direction from an arrowhead to the board edge. Toggle direction lines any time you want them drawn for you.
-
Free the blocker
Another arrow in the path must leave first. Tapping a blocked arrow costs a heart, so read before you commit.
-
Clear them all
Empty the board to earn score, stars and streak credit. Every board is validated solvable before you play it.
Features
A little puzzle with somewhere to go.
OutTheyGo keeps the interface quiet so every colorful move gets the attention.
Hearts make each tap count
Three hearts per attempt. A blocked move costs one; a revive keeps your board alive when they run out.
Come back for your streak
Win one level a day and collect milestone rewards: extra hints and revives up to a 30-day streak.
Hints when you need one
A hint points to an arrow whose path is clear right now. It never plays the move for you.

How do you play OutTheyGo?
Tap an arrow when the path in front of it is clear and it flies off the board. If another arrow blocks the way, the tap bounces and costs a heart. Find the order that frees every arrow to win the level.
