Circuits: rebuild the wiring so every dot connects

Circuits is a spatial logic puzzle. A finished wire layout is shown above the board, and the player rebuilds it with a tray of pieces, working out which piece goes where. When the board matches, the circuit lights up and connects the golden dots.

How to play

  1. Look at the finished circuit shown above the board.
  2. Drag pieces from the tray onto the board and tap a piece to rotate it.
  3. Cells that have no wires in the picture need a piece flipped to its blank side.
  4. Every cell of the board must be covered by a piece, wires and blanks alike.
  5. Solve it quickly and without hints for 3 stars.

Maths skills it builds

  • Rotation and reflection
  • Logical deduction
  • Pattern matching

Why it works

Circuits asks children to rotate and flip shapes in their head and fit them into a constrained space, the same skill used in geometry and in reading diagrams. There are 100 levels in four bands, from small starter boards up to a 6×6 board using all 10 pieces, and each level has exactly one solution, so a child can always reason it out.

Questions parents ask

Are there any numbers in Circuits?

No. It is pure spatial reasoning, so it suits children who want a break from arithmetic.

How many levels does Circuits have?

100 levels in four bands of 25: Starter, Junior, Expert and Master.

What if my child gets stuck?

There is a Hint button, and the Reset and Undo buttons make it easy to try again. Finishing without hints earns the most stars.

Can guests play?

Yes. Guests can play the Starter band (levels 1–25). Signing up unlocks the rest.
