Game Introduction

“Trap the Cat” is a strategic puzzle game where players must block a clever cat’s escape routes by placing barriers on a hexagonal grid, using logic and planning to prevent the cat from reaching the edge. This game tests players’ prediction abilities and strategic thinking.

Gameplay Strategy

1. Center Control: Try to place barriers around the cat first, gradually shrinking its movement area.
2. Path Analysis: Observe the cat’s possible escape routes and prioritize blocking the shortest paths.
3. Edge Defense: Pay attention to protecting the grid edges to prevent the cat from finding breakthrough points.
4. Predict Movement: The cat will choose optimal paths; predict its next movement direction.
5. Encirclement Strategy: Form a complete encirclement without leaving any escape gaps.

How to Play

• Place Barriers: Click on hexagonal cells to place obstacles.
• Observe Cat: Watch the cat’s current position and possible movement directions.
• Restart: If you fail, you can restart the challenge.
