Move your pawn or place a wall — but you can never fully trap your opponent. Every decision shifts the path to victory. Outsmart. Outblock. Win.
A game that takes seconds to understand and years to master. Every match is a unique tactical puzzle.
Jump into a ranked or casual match against players worldwide. Room codes let you duel friends instantly — no account required.
Three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, Hard — so you always have a tactical challenge, even without an opponent online.
Unlock board themes, pawn skins, and wall styles. Cosmetics only — your wins come from skill, not spending.
On your turn, move your pawn one square in any orthogonal direction. If your opponent is adjacent, you can jump over them — unless a wall blocks the path.
Instead of moving, place one of your 10 walls to reroute your opponent. Walls are permanent — but you can never completely block someone's path to their goal.
The first player to reach the opposite row wins. You start at the center — race forward while building walls to make your opponent's journey longer.
Whether you want a quick local match or a ranked online ladder, Pathlock has a mode for every moment.
Match against players worldwide in casual or ranked queues. Climb the leaderboard, track your rating, and prove your tactical edge.
Create a private room and share the code. No account needed — your friend joins in seconds from anywhere in the world.
Practice your openings or warm up against three AI difficulty levels. A match is always available, even without internet.
Two players, one phone. Perfect for a quick duel at a café, at home, or anywhere you want a real face-to-face challenge.
Pathlock will never sell extra walls, stronger movement, or ranking advantages. Every purchase is purely cosmetic. The board is always level.
