It starts fast
Everything on screen is drawn in code, so there are no sprite sheets or image files to fetch before the first stage appears. A player arriving from a link is playing almost immediately.
Logic puzzle
Chinchilla Trails
Turn the tiles until the trail runs unbroken to the chinchilla's door.
The game01
One unbroken route home
A chinchilla is out past dusk with a broken trail between it and its cottage. Every tile turns, most of them are wrong, and the stage is done when the path runs end to end with the snacks on it. Boards start at around 14 tiles and grow to around 34, so the shape of the problem keeps changing across the campaign.
The turn count is the interesting part. Anyone can get the chinchilla home, but the top star only comes from solving in the perfect number of turns, and that gap is what makes people redo a stage they already cleared. Palettes unlock as the campaign goes on, and clearing stage 100 gets its own celebration.
What is in it
- 100 stages across 5 colorful worlds
- Boards grow from about 14 tiles to about 34
- Perfect turns is the star target, and it is worth going back for
- Snacks sit on tiles you have to route through
- Animated tutorial, generated music, palettes that unlock as you go
- 7 languages, including Arabic laid out right to left
How to play
Tap or click a tile to turn it. Keep turning until the trail is one continuous line from the chinchilla to the house with the snacks on it, then press Enter to send it home. R resets the board if you want to start the stage clean. A player can sit with a board as long as they like.

Under the hood03
Why it will not break on your traffic.
Nothing loads from anywhere else
The game carries everything it needs inside the build, fonts included, and never asks another website for anything while it runs. It keeps working on locked down networks and in regions where outside servers are slow.
Every board is checked before release
The build tests all 100 boards to confirm each one forms a single unbroken route with no dead ends, and that none of them opens already solved. Every stage you hand a player is solvable and worth solving.
- A stage is a single board of twenty-five pipe tiles laid out five by five, and Chinchilla Trails ships one hundred of them.
- Every stage is built as a Hamiltonian trail: one continuous path that passes through each of the twenty-five tiles exactly once, with no branch and no dead end anywhere along it.
- That path has exactly two ends, and they are the only two, the chinchilla is where it starts and the house is where it finishes.
- The degree rule falls out of this: the chinchilla tile and the house tile each carry exactly one edge, and each of the twenty-three tiles between them carries exactly two.
- Automated tests check all one hundred stages against those rules, so a stage with a branch, a dead end, a skipped tile or a third endpoint cannot ship.
- The same tests validate the tile rotations a stage opens with, so no stage is ever presented to the player already solved.
