About Block the Pig

Block the Pig is a simple but deceptively clever turn-based puzzle game. You are on a hexagonal grid with a small pig. Your goal is to trap the pig by placing stones on empty tiles, one at a time, so it has no available moves.

🐷 How to play Block the Pig

In Block the Pig unblocked, the game is turn-based. You click on an empty tile to place a stone. Then, the pig moves one tile in any open direction. You must strategically place your stones to build a ‘fence’ and corner the pig.

🏆 Tips and Tricks for Block the Pig

Do not just chase the pig. You must anticipate its moves and place your stones on the tiles it wants to move to.

Try to build a wall several tiles away from the pig. This gives you time to close the gaps.
The pig’s AI is simple: it always tries to find the shortest path to an ‘exit’ (the edge of the board). Use this to predict its movements.

This is a slow, strategic game, unlike the fast math of Arithmetica. Block the Pig unblocked is a real brain-teaser.

FAQ

What happens if the pig reaches the edge?

If the pig moves onto any of the tiles on the very edge of the grid, it ‘escapes’ and you lose the game. You must restart.

Is Block the Pig unblocked solvable every time?

No, the game starts with a few randomly placed stones. Some starting positions are much harder than others, and a few may even be impossible if the pig starts too close to an exit.
