About Zip Trail
Zip Trail hands you a dark navy grid, a scatter of numbered gold coins, and one rule: draw a single unbroken line that starts on coin 1, visits the coins in ascending order, and passes through every cell exactly once. The trail follows your finger as a fat ribbon of electric yellow, crackling softly as it grows. Slide backwards along the line to erase a bad stretch, or hold still to wipe the board and start over.
The tension lives in the corners. It is easy to hoover up the coins and forget the two lonely cells you sealed off behind you — the head flashes red the moment it runs out of open neighbours, and that jolt teaches you to plan exits before entrances. A live counter shows how many cells still need paint, so near the end every move is a small commitment.
Seventy levels climb from a friendly five-by-five warmup to dense nine-by-nine boards threaded with ten coins. Nothing is timed, so it suits anyone who likes flow-style pencil puzzles, quiet logic, and watching a finished trail light up end to end.

How to play Zip Trail
Press on coin 1 and drag through neighbouring cells to draw your trail; it can move up, down, left and right but never through itself. Pick up the numbered coins in ascending order — the board blocks you if you touch one too early. Cover every cell on the grid to finish the level, and use the counter in the top bar to see how many squares remain. Retrace along your line to undo, hold still on the board to reset, and spend a hint if you want the next few cells of a guaranteed route.
Controls
Desktop: drag with the mouse or steer the trail head with arrow keys / WASD, Z undoes, R resets, H hints, M mutes. Touch: drag to draw, slide backwards to erase, press and hold to reset.
Tips & tricks
- Scan the far corners before you draw a single cell — corner squares have only two exits, so decide early which way you will enter and leave them.
- The next coin is a destination, not a magnet. Often the right route wanders away from it first to mop up a dead-end pocket you cannot revisit.
- If the head flashes red you are walled in: slide back along your own trail to the last junction instead of resetting the whole board.
- Edges are your friend on big boards — hugging the border first tends to leave a clean interior you can sweep in long snake passes.
