Seato: Cab Stand Brainteaser

Every passenger is waiting for a taxi in their own colour. Tap one and they get in — if the right taxi is at the stand. If it isn't, they go and wait in a bay. And there are only three bays. Sounds easy. By level forty it isn't. THE RULE, IN TEN SECONDS Every tile on the grid has an arrow: you can only tap it if the road ahead is clear all the way to the edge. Whoever gets out and finds their taxi takes a seat. Whoever doesn't takes up a bay. Fill all three bays and nothing moves anymore, so think before you tap. ONE CITY, TEN DISTRICTS It starts at driving school — twenty levels to earn your licence — and then you're out in the city traffic: Harbour, Stadium, Fairground, Airport, Night, Backstreets, Roadworks, Station, Seafront and Theatre. Each district has its own colours, its own obstacles and its own new twist: walls of containers that never move, crowds leaving the game in waves, wildcard passengers who'll take any taxi, seats already taken, cages that only open once the taxis pull away, narrow streets where you get through one at a time, bays that close, luggage that takes two seats, groups that won't be split up, tiles with someone behind them. 320 LEVELS, ALL SOLVABLE No level was generated at random and left there: every one was solved by a solver before it made it into the game, and the third star is earned by using the fewest bays possible — a number we know, not one we hope for. A real brainteaser, not a guessing game. A DAILY CHALLENGE The same grid for everyone, every day, with no connection and no account: a few calm minutes of strategy on your commute, on the bus or the subway. Plus three goals that change every morning and a gift that grows with every day in a row. AND THEN Build each district's cab stand with the stars you collect. Collect taxi liveries. Fifteen achievements and Game Center leaderboards. NO TIMER, NO RUSH HOUR Picture a parking lot after the hockey game or the lineup at a bus stop at rush hour, then unblock it one passenger at a time. It tests how you think, not how fast you tap: a little workout for the mind and your IQ, with no clock and no hurry.
