About Rolltop (Turnpan)

Rolltop is the daily solo puzzle on Turnpan, a free site for classic board games such as gomoku, backgammon, Yacht and checkers, which went live in September 2026. The puzzle has its own page on turnpan.com, and the site is also listed on itch.io as a link to the browser version.

Each puzzle is a small grid with a die on one square. Some squares are walls, some are blank and some carry a number. You roll the die square by square with a drag or the arrow keys, and as it tips over the face on top changes. The aim is to cover every open square, and a numbered square only accepts a roll that lands that number face up. Undo is always available, so you can step back and try another way.

The page shows one puzzle a day, numbered and labelled with the weekday and the grid size, for example Puzzle #39, Tuesday, 6x6. The game says each puzzle has exactly one solution. Your first try is timed and ranked, with assists switched off; after that you can practise the same board with options such as showing the number each neighbouring square would get. Results show your time and undos, a streak and a line you can share.

A puzzle ladder lists every past puzzle so you can go back and play older levels, each with its own leaderboard and up to three stars. There is a 30-second untimed tutorial for new players, a limited number of hints a day and a give-up button that shows the path. The site is offered in 14 languages and needs no sign-up to play.

How to play Rolltop (Turnpan)

1. Open the Rolltop daily puzzle on turnpan.com and press Play on today's puzzle.
2. Roll the die with a drag or the arrow keys; each roll tips it onto the next square and changes the face on top.
3. Cover every open square once; walls cannot be entered.
4. On a numbered square the die must land with that number on top, so plan the route around those squares.
5. Use Undo to back out of dead ends, then share your time and undos when every square is covered.

Tips

• Try the untimed tutorial before your first daily try, since the first try is the one that is ranked.
• Work out from the numbered squares: each one limits which way the die can arrive.
• Opposite faces of a die add up to 7, which helps you predict what will face up after a few rolls.
• An open square with only one open neighbour, other than the starting square, has to be the last square of the route.
