JJ Puppy Escape

Jimmy Jack — Puppy Escape, a STEM Logic Game.

Shift the dogs to help the red puppy escape from the yard!

The red puppy wants out. The problem is the other dogs — sprawled across the yard, blocking every path to the gate, and none of them are in a hurry to move.

Pick a challenge card, set the dogs up exactly as shown, and start sliding. Each dog can only move in certain directions, so freeing up one path usually blocks another. The trick is working out the order: which dog moves first, and what that opens up three moves later. You win when the red puppy slides clean out of the yard.

Fifty challenges take you from beginner to advanced, and the later ones are properly tough — the kind where you sit back, look at the board, and realise you have to undo everything and start again.

It's a single-player logic puzzle at heart, though it works just as well with two heads arguing over the same board. No reading required, no timer, no luck. Just sequencing, spatial reasoning and the satisfying click of a plan coming together.
