Path Unwind
Path Unwind — Questions & answers
Why does an arrow return?
Another arrow or an obstacle blocks its exit path. Clear the route first.
When does the daily challenge change?
At 00:00 UTC. An unfinished previous challenge expires and your campaign puzzle is restored. The challenge pays 50 coins once per day, or 100 if you collect its optional bonus. Daily rewards do not have a flawless multiplier.
What is the sponsor bonus?
An optional 30-coin bonus available five hours after the first launch, then five hours after each claim. It does not show ads or require a purchase.
Is my game saved?
Progress and settings are saved on your device and backed up privately when iCloud is available. Reinstall with the same iCloud account to restore the latest uploaded backup. Offline changes upload when a connection returns. Changes that have not uploaded cannot be restored after deleting the app. Conflicting saves are resolved by choosing one complete save in Settings.
How do I reset progress?
Confirm the reset in Settings to remove level progress and coins. Owned cosmetics, feedback preferences and the sponsor cooldown are preserved. Game Center retains previously submitted best scores.
How do I restart just the current level?
Hold the restart button in the top bar until its border fills. During bottle sorting, Restart bottles restarts only the bottle puzzle.
How do I open level selection and the shop?
Tap the level heading for level selection. Open the shop using the bottom-right button.
How does the timer work?
Enable Show timer in Settings. It starts on the first arrow attempt, pauses while the app is inactive or a sheet is open, and stops on completion. Elapsed active-play time is saved with the attempt. Switching levels or closing the app preserves it; restarting begins a new attempt. The separate time-bonus clock uses saved timestamps and can continue while the app is closed. Expiry never resets the puzzle.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not to play. iCloud backup, Game Center, ratings and website links require a connection. Game Center is optional and compares three existing statistics without adding a separate points system.
What happens after the cube in a bottle level?
Sort the liquids to earn 30 extra coins, or skip the bottle puzzle and continue. The cube reward is already earned. A paid hint highlights a source bottle; you choose the destination.
Is there a level limit?
There is no predefined campaign level limit. Generated puzzles are mixed with occasional 2D boards, timing challenges, bottle puzzles and quiet surprises. Previously started boards retain their saved layout after updates.
