Basic Rules
The goal of Puzzle Dasher is to fit the most puzzle pieces before time runs out.

Fitting Puzzle Pieces

Use your mouse to drag the loose puzzle pieces (on the right) to their correct spot (on the left). When you drop a piece over the correct spot it sticks.

If you drop a piece over the wrong spot it returns back to the other loose pieces.

How to Win

The player who fills the most pieces WINS! Standard rounds of Puzzle Dasher include 5 puzzles (pictures). You've got 40 seconds to complete each puzzle before it automatically switches to the next one.

Each puzzle needs 5 empty spaces filled. So, including all 5 puzzles, there's a total of 25 possible pieces you can fit.

"Expert" Games

In "Expert" games of Puzzle Dasher, each puzzle needs 6 empty spaces filled and there are 10 Puzzles. So, there's a total of 60 Pieces you can fit.

"Combo Bonus" and Tiebreaker
