Getting started

1. Columns have letters and rows have numbers. Start at A1 and go right, right, down. You reach C2.
2. From about age 6 with an adult. Row 1 is at the top; column A is on the left. Right and left refer to the sheet as seen by the player.
3. Page 2: mission 1 C2; mission 2 C3; mission 3 B3; mission 4 C4. Restart each time so separate routes do not get combined.
4. Page 3 has several solutions. One is A1-A2-A3-A4-A5-B5-C5-D5-E5: eight moves. Blocked squares are B2, C2 and D4. Page 4 is open-ended.
