The Conductor's Guide

Four rules. Forty-eight yards.

Every level is a little rail yard: a depot, a station, a tray of rails and golden tickets waiting on the line.

No. 01

Lay the rails

Pick a rail from the tray and tap an empty tile. Rails snap to their neighbours; tap a rail again to rotate it. The eraser takes one back.

No. 02

Collect every ticket

Press Depart and the locomotive follows your rails from the depot to the station. Golden tickets on the way are yours to keep.

No. 03

Mind the joints

A rail that doesn't meet the next one derails the train. Nothing is lost: fix the joint and depart again.

No. 04

Spend at the Emporium

Tickets buy new locomotives, rail styles, signal hints and skip tokens. Medals reward milestones with extra tickets.

What's on the line

A whole city of brass and steam

Short, satisfying puzzles you can solve on a coffee break — and a reason to come back every day.

48 levels, four districts

From the gentle switches of Old Town Yard to the Grand Terminus, where every rail counts.

Old Town → Grand Terminus

The Daily Express

A one-off yard laid out just for today, plus fresh Daily Orders that pay out in golden tickets.

New every day

The Signal Box

A memory mini-game: repeat the lamp sequence — Stop, Clear, Caution, Shunt — and beat today's best round.

Derail without fear

Ran into an obstacle or a mismatched joint? Nothing is lost — fix the joint and depart again.

Try, tweak, depart

Hints & skip tokens

Stuck? A signal hint bolts one correct rail onto the board. A skip token unlocks the next level.

Paid in tickets

Liveries & rail styles

Six locomotives and three rail styles in the Emporium — from Crimson Express to solid Clockwork Gold.

Earned, never bought
