About Bolts
Most sorting games ask you to group like with like—colours into tubes, shapes into bins. Bolts rips that rulebook in half. Here, the objective isn’t to sort bolts at all; it’s to unsort them. You click and drag each bolt into a free nut, but the catch is that you must free every wooden slat by removing the right bolt at the right time. One misstep and a slat stays trapped, forcing a restart. The twist: you’re not building order, you’re dismantling it in a precise sequence, turning each level into a logic puzzle where the solution is the order of removal.
Put your puzzle-solving skills to the test in this clever game. The challenge is to free all the slats by unscrewing bolts in the perfect sequence. Each move is a strategic decision—one wrong choice and you’ll be stuck. It’s a deeply satisfying logic puzzle where figuring out the precise order to clear each bolt is the key to victory. Every level presents a fresh, engaging challenge that will have you hooked on finding the right solution.
How to Play Bolts
- Click on a bolt to select it.
- Drag the selected bolt to an empty nut on the board.
- Release the bolt into the nut to place it.
- Free a slat when all bolts holding it have been moved away.
- Repeat until every slat has fallen down.
Game Features
- 3D wooden slats and metallic bolts create a tactile visual experience.
- Each level requires freeing all slats by moving bolts in a specific order.
- Empty nuts serve as temporary holding spots for repositioning bolts.
- Levels increase in complexity with more slats and interconnected bolt placements.
- No time limits or moves counter—pure logic puzzle solving.
Tips & Strategies
- Examine which slats are held by the fewest bolts and target those first.
- Use empty nuts as temporary parking spots to rearrange bolts without blocking progress.
- Avoid placing a bolt into a nut that will trap another slat behind it.
- Trace the dependency chain: some slats only free after others drop.
- If stuck, backtrack mentally—the correct order often requires freeing slats in layers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I move a bolt to the wrong nut?
You can always undo the move by dragging the bolt back to its original nut, as long as that nut is still free. The game does not penalize wrong placements, but you may need to re-plan your sequence.
Can I skip a level if I'm stuck?
The game does not mention a skip feature. You must solve each level to progress.
Are there any hints available?
The official instructions do not mention hints. You rely on logic alone to determine the correct order.
How are bolts and nuts arranged in each level?
Bolts are initially placed in nuts attached to slats. Free nuts are scattered on the board for repositioning. The layout changes per level.
Is there a difference between bolt types?
All bolts are identical; there is no color or size distinction. The puzzle is purely about order and placement.
