Color Screw Rescue Puzzle

Color Screw Rescue Puzzle turns unscrewing into an ordering puzzle. Which screw you remove first decides the whole level. Free in your browser.

About Color Screw Rescue Puzzle

The screen holds overlapping plates and the coloured screws that hold them. Tap a screw and it comes out, travelling to the box of its own colour. When a box fills up it closes and a new one takes its place.

The catch is that the number of open boxes is limited. Remove a screw whose colour has no open box and it drops into the waiting area; fill that area and the level ends. So every tap is a decision.

The plates lock one another too: you cannot reach a lower screw before the upper ones are out. The game asks for the right order rather than speed. Levels are short and retrying is instant.

Why kids like this game

A screw popping out and a plate falling away gives instant feedback. Untangling a stack that looked locked, in the right order, leaves a real sense of achievement.

Is this game safe for kids?

Yes. A calm puzzle made of coloured screws and plates, with no violence, blood or frightening elements. It runs in the browser and asks for no sign-up.

1. Tap the screws with the mouse on a computer or your finger on a phone.
2. The screw you tap comes out and goes to the box of its colour.
3. Only free screws sitting on top can be removed.
4. Screws with no matching box drop into the waiting area.
5. Clear the right colours before that area fills up.
6. Fill a box to close it and bring in a new one.
7. Remove every screw to finish the level.

• Check the open boxes: before tapping, make sure that colour has somewhere to go.
• Keep the waiting area empty: filling it ends the level, so try never to use it at all.
• Work from the top down: tapping a screw that is not free only wastes a move.
• Take three of a colour in a row: closing a box quickly opens space for a new colour.
• Stop and count when stuck: knowing how many screws of each colour remain solves most levels.

• Colour boxes: every screw goes to the box of its colour.
• Limited waiting area: the wrong order ends the level.
• Locked plates: lower screws stay out of reach until the upper ones go.
• Short levels: retrying takes no time.
• Portrait layout: comfortable one-handed play on a phone.
• Plays on any device with mouse and touch controls.
