An Arrow Escape board mid-play: snake-like arrows on a peg tray, three hearts full, and a Hint button with 3 free hints.

Arrow Escape is a calm logic puzzle for Android phones, made by Sonicon Software. Each board is a grid of snake-like arrows. Tap one and it slides off the board if its way out is clear; a blocked tap bumps back and costs one of three hearts. Levels are endless, every board can be cleared, and there are no ads.

How a board plays

Tap an arrow and it slides off the board along the way its head points, if nothing is in the way. Tap one that is blocked and it bumps back, costing one of your three hearts. Clear every arrow to win. Stars equal the hearts you have left, and a replay can only raise your star count.

The full rules

Level 15 mid-play: 3 of 15 arrows out, three hearts, snake-like arrows on a peg tray with one long arrow lifted under the finger.
Level 27 before the first tap: two numbered lock and key pairs, and the tip "A locked arrow still blocks. Open it to clear the way."

Four twists, never a trap

Four twists arrive along the level path, each taught by a board and a one-line tip: locks and keys from level 21, ice from level 61, rotators from level 101 and portals from level 141. None of them can make another arrow blocked, so every board can still be cleared in any order of free taps.

  • Level 21

    Locks and keys

    A locked arrow waits until its key arrow has left.

  • Level 61

    Ice

    An iced arrow takes two taps, and the first costs nothing.

  • Level 101

    Rotators

    A rotator turns a passing arrow a quarter turn.

  • Level 141

    Portals

    Two linked holes in the board's rim.

Level 144: iced arrows, one of them cracked, three rotator cells and a linked pair of portal holes in the board's rim.

A new Daily every day

A new Daily puzzle every day, the same board for everyone on that date. Clearing it fills the day on the month's trophy calendar, and past days of the current month can be caught up. Fill a whole month and its trophy goes on your shelf. "Your Dailies" keeps your own numbers, never compared.

How the Daily builds up over the week

Daily trophies for October: 28 of 31 days filled, 20 clean, three open catch-up days, and Your Dailies with 58 cleared and 52 on the first try.

Calm by design

Arrow Escape has no ads, no in-app purchases, no timers, no move limits and no energy to wait for. Out of hearts, the board restarts at once, free. A missed day quietly restarts your streak and keeps your longest one. The app posts no notifications, needs no account and works without an internet connection.

A board that plays a tune

Every arrow that leaves plays the next note of a short phrase on an original pentatonic instrument, so a clean board sounds like a small tune resolving. Each move has its own haptic tap. A cleared board blooms with light and bursts into a confetti of tiny arrow chips. Every sound is original, made for Arrow Escape.

Level 15 win card: three stars, "Clean run.", 15 arrows, no bumps, +15 coins, 6 days in a row, and the next goal, Marble, at 44 of 90 stars.

Earn it by playing

Up to three stars a level: three for a clean run, one fewer for each bump. The level path can list just the levels under three stars, and a replay only ever raises your star count. Five more arrow skins and three more board themes unlock at stated milestones, such as 30 stars or a finished chapter. They change the look, never the rules.

Level path filtered to levels under three stars: 14 levels to replay, grouped under chapters 1 to 4 with their names and star totals.
Collection: the Lacquer and Brass arrow skins with how each was earned, and the Pegboard and Poolside board themes, 3 of 4 owned.

Play it your way

  • Light and dark themes, following your phone by default.
  • A colour-blind palette; arrows also differ by direction and a mark on the body.
  • Left-handed controls.
  • Reduced motion: quick fades instead of fly-offs, no confetti.
  • TalkBack reads each arrow's position, direction, length, whether it is free, and its locks or ice.
  • Sound, music and haptics each switch off on their own; the game is fully playable muted.

Privacy in one paragraph

Arrow Escape has no internet permission, so it can't send anything from your phone. No account, no ads, no analytics. Your progress stays in the app's private storage, Android cloud backup is off, and uninstalling the app deletes it. Read the privacy policy.
