Daddy Escape

A typical puzzle session starts slow. You look at the board, work out what the rules actually are, and make a tentative first move. Then the pattern clicks and the next few stages go quickly, until one stops you cold. That rhythm, easy then stuck then easy again, is the whole appeal. Most sessions last ten to twenty minutes before you reach a natural stopping point.

Does Daddy Escape save my progress?

The game may store progress in your browser, so returning on the same device and browser usually picks up where you left off. There is no account, so progress does not carry across devices.

Is there a time limit?

Puzzle games on this site vary. Many let you think as long as you like, while some add a timer for extra score. Nothing stops you from replaying a stage.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. Most puzzles here are built with touch in mind, and tapping a piece works the same as clicking it. Rotate to landscape if the board looks cramped.
