River Crossing
Get everyone across in a tiny boat without anyone getting eaten.
About River Crossing
Four classic river crossing puzzles in one: the wolf, goat and cabbage; knights and goblins; grown-ups and kids in a tiny boat; and royal guards who mustn't be left with the wrong king. Load the boat, cross, and keep every bank safe. Break a rule and you'll see what went wrong, with an undo to try again. Each puzzle shows the fewest crossings possible.
How to play River Crossing
- Tap someone on the boat's side to put them in the boat.
