Our guidance
How do I start playing the game for the first time?
Upon your first launch, you will be presented with a three-page rules tour. This guide uses clean illustrations for each rule to help you understand the mechanics without overwhelming you with long walls of text or videos.
Your goal is to fill the board so that the numbers 1 through N form a continuous chain. Every cell must contain exactly one number, and each consecutive number must be placed in an adjacent cell, including diagonals.
Can I move diagonally when placing numbers in the chain?
Yes, the rules allow for diagonal movement. Number k and number k+1 must sit in adjacent cells, which includes up, down, left, right, or any of the four diagonal positions surrounding the current cell.
How do I correct a mistake if I place a number incorrectly?
If you make a mistake, you can easily roll back your progress. Simply tap on a filled number cell to remove it and revert the board to the state it was in before that specific step was taken.
What is the difference between the campaign and Free Play modes?
The campaign offers a steady difficulty curve, starting with gentle 5x5 boards and progressing to 8x8 grids with irregular cutouts. Free Play allows you to select any difficulty level and solve puzzles from the library at your own pace.
How can I visualize the path I have created so far?
The interface includes a soft chain trace feature. This visual indicator appears between consecutive numbers as you place them, allowing you to see your progress and the path of your chain at a single glance.
No, there are no penalties for restarting. You can restart any level at any time without any cost. The game is designed to be calm and patient, focusing on the logic puzzle rather than engagement loops or streaks.
Some boards contain holes, which are empty spaces that the chain must wrap around. These spaces are not part of the sequence, so you must navigate your chain around them while ensuring the numbers remain continuous and correctly placed.
Does the game require an internet connection to function?
No, the game works completely offline. It does not collect personal data, and there are no accounts to create or servers to connect to. Your progress is stored locally on your device or synced via iCloud if you choose.
To place the next number in your sequence, simply tap an empty cell that is touching the previous number in your chain. The given numbers on the board act as anchors, and the rest of the chain is determined from there.

About Number Chain: Logic Puzzle
Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.
Just Number Chain is a calm take on the number-chain puzzle (sometimes known as Hidato or Numbrix). The board has some numbers already given. Fill in the rest so the numbers 1 to N form a continuous chain — and any two consecutive numbers must touch, including diagonally.
Two small rules govern the whole game:
1. Every cell on the board holds exactly one number from 1 to N. 2. Number k and number k+1 must sit in adjacent cells (up, down, left, right, OR diagonal).
Some boards have holes — empty spaces that the chain wraps around. The given numbers anchor the puzzle; from those, the rest of the chain is fully determined.
Simple rules, plenty of room to think.
