About Cat Trap

Cat Trap is a deceptively simple and infuriatingly difficult logic puzzle game. You are presented with a hexagonal grid, and your goal is to ‘trap’ a cat by clicking on tiles. This Cat Trap unblocked game is a pure test of logic and predictive thinking.

How to play Cat Trap

The game is played on a grid of light-colored hexagons. On your turn, you can click any single hexagon to darken it, turning it into a ‘wall’. After you click, the cat (which is controlled by an AI) will move to an adjacent, open hexagon. The goal is to darken tiles in such a way that the cat has no more open tiles to move to.

🧠 Tips and Tricks for Cat Trap

Do not just chase the cat; you will never win. You must build a ‘fence’ or ‘corral’ far away from the cat, slowly closing the exits. The cat is smart and will always move towards the nearest exit (the edge of the board). Use this knowledge to predict its moves. This is a game of pure strategy, not speed like Tap Road Beat.

Start by building a wide barrier; do not click tiles right next to the cat.
Try to anticipate the cat’s ‘escape route’ and cut it off.
Patience is the key. Your goal is to shrink the cat’s world, one tile at a time.

🤔 FAQ

Is the Cat Trap game winnable?

Yes, but it is very difficult. The cat’s AI is designed to find the shortest path to an exit. You must have a solid strategy and make no mistakes to corner it.

Is the cat’s movement random?

No, and that is why the game is so hard. The cat is not random; it is actively trying to escape. It re-evaluates the shortest path to the edge after every move you make.

Is there only one Cat Trap game?

This is a classic, simple web game that has been copied and remade many times. The core mechanic, however, remains the same: click tiles to trap the cat.
