How to play Path Pebble

Every board hides one winding route from the coral pebble in the top-left to the gold pebble in the bottom-right. The route never crosses itself, and it can turn in any direction — not just toward the goal. Tap a pebble next to where you stand: step right and you advance along the trail, step wrong and that pebble turns to stone and shows a number. That number is how many of its four neighbours lie on the hidden route, which is exactly the information you need. A stone showing 0 rules out its entire neighbourhood; a stone showing 1 tells you precisely one neighbour carries the route. Two or three stones are revealed before you start, so the opening move is already a deduction rather than a guess. Boards grow from 5×5 to 7×7. Free in the browser at Skorven, no downloads.

Tips & strategy

• Read the seeded stones before your first move — they usually rule out one of the two openings immediately.
• A stone showing 0 is the strongest clue on the board: none of its neighbours can be on the route.
• Count exits. The route enters and leaves every cell exactly once, so a corridor walled by stones has only one way through.

Path Pebble FAQ

What does the number on a stone mean?

It counts how many of that stone’s four neighbours lie on the hidden route. A 0 rules out its whole neighbourhood; a 1 pins the route to exactly one of them.

Do wrong steps reset my progress?

No. Your traced trail is never erased — a wrong step only turns that pebble to stone and costs you a star at the end.
