How to play Axiom

Every Axiom game works the same way: pick it, learn it in a minute, then play level after level.

Fifteen different puzzles share one simple routine. Here it is, in about a minute.

The basics

The basics

Five things that work the same in every game.

  1. 1. Pick a game on the home page or in the Games menu.

  2. 2. Choose a difficulty, and a mode where the game has one, then play the next level.

  3. 3. Stuck? Press Hint or the H key for a concrete next step.

  4. 4. Undo, redo and restart freely. An unfinished level is saved when you leave.

  5. 5. Every game has one daily puzzle, the same for everyone, new at 00:00 UTC.

Step by step

Step by step

From your first game to your daily routine.

  1. Open a game

    Each lobby explains the rules in a few lines and shows your levels, your progress and today's puzzle.

  2. Learn with the tutorial

    A short tutorial on a tiny board shows the controls. Mouse, touch and keyboard all work.

  3. Climb the levels

    Levels grow harder as you go. Each generated level is verified by a solver, so every one has a solution.

  4. Keep your streak

    Stars, streaks, daily puzzles and achievements are saved on your device, with no account needed.
