About Nest Quest

Nest Quest is a sliding-block puzzle with a small story attached: a bird is lost, and every level is about clearing it a path back to the nest. You slide blocks to open a route, which sounds simple and stays simple in its rules while getting considerably less simple in its layouts. There are more than forty handcrafted levels, and the handcrafted part matters — each one is a designed problem rather than a generated arrangement, so solutions feel found rather than stumbled into. The design is minimalist and the visuals are calm, with no timer and nothing chasing you. It works equally well as a casual few minutes or as a set of problems to sit with properly.

How to Play

On mobile, tap and drag the blocks to slide them in the direction you want. On desktop, use your mouse to slide the pieces around the nest. Rearrange them until the bird has a clear path home, then move on to the next level.

Tips & Tricks

Work backwards from the nest rather than forwards from the bird, since the last move of a solution is usually the most constrained one. If a block will not go where you need it, the problem is almost always a different block that has to move first. There is no clock, so take the time to look at the whole board before touching anything.
