Turn the tunnels.
Don’t wake the cat.

Tap tiles to turn them, link Pip’s hole to the way out, and watch the whole family bolt through the tunnel you built. Every tap makes noise, so find the quietest route.

Try it: tap the tiles to link Pip, Dot and the way out.

3 cheese at 7 taps

Three rules, one quiet rat

  1. Turn the tiles

    Each tap turns a tile a quarter turn. Line the tunnels up, end to end.

  2. Link the family

    The tunnel has to reach Pip’s hole, every family member and the way out.

  3. Keep it quiet

    Every tap makes noise. Fill the meter and Mittens the cat wakes up.

A whole family to rescue

Every rescue brings a new character, and each one changes the puzzle.

  • Dot

    Level 11

    Baby sister. Wanders off, so the tunnel must go through her.

  • Grandpa Bram

    Level 31

    Won’t budge. His tile can’t turn, so you build around him.

  • Nip

    Level 51

    Half of the twins. Turn his tile and Tuck’s turns too.

  • Tuck

    Level 51

    The other half. They do everything together.

  • Mum Hazel

    Level 81

    Hushes everyone. Reach her and the noise drops by 4.

A cosy underground in your pocket

  • A clay tunnel board with Pip at the hole and Dot waiting on a tile
  • A bigger board with five family members to link
  • A lit golden tunnel linking the whole route to the way out
  • The win screen: the family cheering in a sunny forest with three cheese
  • The family screen: portraits of the rescued rats with their traits
  • The caught screen: Mittens the cat looking pleased in a moonlit room

Free, and it stays out of your way

Every level is free

All 1,000 of them. Nothing is locked behind a purchase.

Ads stay out of the puzzle

A banner below the board, and now and then a short ad between levels. Never in the middle of a board. Videos for extra taps or hints are always your choice.

No timers, no waiting

No energy and no lives. Restart is free and instant.

Plays offline

Every level is inside the app, and there’s no account to make.

How the game handles data

Everything else

How do I play?

Tap a tile to turn it a quarter turn. Link Pip’s hole, every family member on the board and the way out. The moment they all connect, everyone runs for it.

What is the noise meter?

Every tap that turns a tile makes noise. If the meter fills, Mittens the cat wakes up and you are caught. Tapping a bolted tile or a cross makes no noise.

How do I get 3 cheese?

Finish the level in the fewest taps, with no hint and no extra taps. A quick route gets 2 cheese, and any escape gets 1. You can replay a level to raise its rating.

Is every level possible?

Yes. Each of the 1,000 levels is played through by a solver before it ships, so there is always a way out.

I am stuck. What can I do?

Tap the lantern to use a hint: one tile turns into place, with no noise. You start with three hints and earn another every 10 levels you clear. With none left, you can watch a short video for one.

What happens when the cat wakes up?

You can restart the level for free, or watch a short video for 5 more taps and keep the same board, up to twice per try. Nobody gets hurt.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Every level is inside the app and your progress is saved on your phone. You only need a connection for ads.

What happens after the last level?

When you finish all 1,000 levels, you get a celebration and the choice to start over from level 1.

Will I lose my progress if I change phones?

Progress is stored on the device, so it does not move to a new phone, and uninstalling the app removes it.

Can I turn off the sounds or vibration?

Yes. Open Settings and tap Sound or Vibration.
