About Entanglement

Entanglement started as a web game from Gopherwood Studios and came to Steam in 2017 with all the original maps. The board is a field of hexagons around a central stone. Each tile you draw carries several curving paths; you rotate it, place it where your line currently ends, and the line follows the paths through it. Loops and long runs score more, and the game ends when your path hits the wall or the centre. A swap slot lets you keep one tile in reserve.

The Daily Challenge gives all players the exact same set of tiles for the entire day, so the only difference is strategy. At the end of each day the scores are tallied: the Daily Challenge Champion gets 50 points, the rest of the top ten get 10 and everyone else gets 1 for taking part, feeding weekly and all-time tables. The developer still posts about it: in August 2026 a new triangle-shaped map appeared in the Daily Challenge, and in July 2026 Steam accounts were enabled for the leaderboards.

There is also a solitaire mode with its own leaderboards and a hot-seat multiplayer mode for up to six people on one computer, now with bots.

It suits players who like quiet, spatial puzzles and the satisfaction of a long, tangled line.

How to play Entanglement

1. Choose Daily Challenge from the menu.
2. Rotate the current tile and place it at the end of your path.
3. Keep extending the line through the tiles' paths without hitting the wall or the centre.
4. Your score goes onto the day's leaderboard; everyone gets the same tiles that day.

Tips

• Use the swap slot to save a tile that fits a tight spot later.
• Paths that loop back through the same tile score extra.
• Avoid steering toward the outer wall early in the game.
