World and Mission

Three pegs and a stack of disks create a focused planning challenge: move the full stack to the goal peg while keeping every larger disk below a smaller one.

How the Systems Work

Select a peg to lift its top disk, then select a legal destination. The move counter compares your route with the minimum target: 7, 15, or 31 moves.

The legal-destination cue, Hint, and Undo make the next decision visible without moving a disk for you.

How to Play

  1. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard.
  2. Select a source peg, then a highlighted legal destination.
  3. Use Hint for one safe next idea, Undo to reverse a choice, or New Puzzle to reset the board.

Strategy Tips

  • Plan around the largest disk first and keep the destination peg clear.
  • Use the minimum target as a planning guide, not a requirement for a successful solve.

Campaign and Difficulty Growth

Easy, Medium, and Hard use three, four, and five disks with minimum targets of 7, 15, and 31 moves.

Developer Design Note

The classic rule set stays visible while legal-destination cues and recovery controls make experimentation understandable.
