Planks and Arrows is a charming puzzle adventure where movement is governed by directional arrows on the ground—each one showing which direction you're allowed to move. Think of them like triangle-shaped signs pointing your way forward.
Need a new path? Place planks to extend or change your route and reach areas once out of reach. Every move matters in a world built on strategy and clever thinking.
Meet quirky characters, take on challenging quests, and uncover strange mysteries—but above all… find your beloved pet bird, Henry!
Origins
Originally designed as a physical board game, Planks and Arrows began as a two-player match where players drew planks from a bag and built the playfield as they played—racing to reach each other’s base three times.
The video game brings that concept to life with expanded gameplay, a world full of stories, and puzzles that challenge your spatial reasoning.
Story Mode
Explore a whimsical world where everyone has a story—and sometimes a challenge. Some characters will test your skills in a match, while others need your help completing tasks that require smart use of a limited number of planks.
And in the middle of it all? A mystery: your bird Henry has gone missing. It's up to you to find out what happened.
