About Trap the cat

Trap The Cat Gameplay Overview

"Trap the Cat" is a strategic puzzle game played on a hexagonal grid. The goal is to trap the cat by blocking its possible escape routes. The cat always starts at the center of the grid and moves one tile per turn toward the edges. You must strategically place barriers to prevent the cat from reaching the edges and running away. Keep in mind that the cat's movements are difficult to anticipate, making it harder to trap. A wrong move? This clever feline can easily escape, and you’ll have to restart the game.

Guides and Tips to Trap the Cat

Playing Trap The Cat is easy, but mastering it is not simple.

Click or tap any empty hexagonal tile to turn it dark, blocking the cat’s path. These blocked tiles play the role of barriers or obstacles that prevent the cat from moving through them. However, you must be strategic in your placement; think carefully before you make any move, and make sure it does not guide the cat to an easier escape route.

Make use of pre-blocked tiles. At the start of each round, some tiles will already be blocked. Observe these existing barriers and use them to your advantage to trap the car more easily while minimizing unnecessary moves.

Your first move matters! Analyze the pre-blocked tiles and decide the best spot to place your first barrier. In many cases, blocking tiles near the cat’s current position can help limit its movement.

Keep an eye on the cat’s movement. The cat moves one step after each of your turns and chooses the shortest path toward the edge to exit. Observing its movements and anticipating its next steps can help you plan your moves more effectively.

Build a trap gradually. Do not randomly block tiles since it can be the quickest way to let the cat escape. Instead, focus on gradually expanding the trap outward to form a large enclosure around the cat, sealing off its escape. Next, continue blocking paths until there is no open tile left for the cat to move to, and you win.

Controls:

• Mouse Click or Tap – Select tiles to block the cat’s movement.
