Everyone on the same day reads the same underlying route instead of rolling a private maze.
Same board for everyone
A daily hex maze that rewards route reading, not busywork.
Beeline is a short daily puzzle run built around one deterministic route from 1 to 50. The board stays the same for everyone on a given day, so the tension comes from what you uncover, how you manage battery, and whether a treasure detour is worth the risk.
The goal is clarity before pressure. You should understand the board rules inside the first minute, then decide whether to move carefully, chase score, or take the cleanest possible line to the finish.

Ghost pacing Rival Echo See a spoiler-safe shadow of another clear and feel how a faster run is moving.
Shadow flight
Rival Echo uses a sanitized win trace so you can compare tempo and pressure without dumping the full answer into the board.
Stage view Arcade 3D Keep the same seeded puzzle, then project it onto a neon tabletop with camera control.
Same board, louder stage
Arcade 3D does not randomize a new puzzle. It re-stages the daily board with depth, rotation, and a more dramatic read of the route.
Private maker Shape Lab Paint a silhouette, grow a private comb inside it, and share a challenge that never touches the daily board.
Build your own comb
Shape Lab stays separate from public leaderboard play, so you can experiment, tune silhouettes, and pass around private challenge codes without muddying the daily ritual.
The win condition stays readable: find the next correct adjacent number and preserve enough battery to finish.
Treasure rewards and hornet pressure add decision-making without changing the seed or the fairness of the board.
Easy, Normal, Hard, and hornet runs post separately so the board comparison stays honest.
How a run works
The puzzle flow is short, readable, and deliberate.
Each run starts on a seeded hex marked 1. From there, the job is to move one adjacent hex at a time to find 2, then 3, and so on until 50. Fog-of-war hides the board shape at first, so the early game is about learning the local terrain instead of brute-forcing the full answer.
Battery creates the pressure curve. Every move spends charge, so wandering too far off the likely route can leave you unable to finish. That tension is intentional, but the default feel is meant to be gentle: wrong moves cost you position and battery, not a hard fail screen after one mistake.
- Reveal nearby terrain and locate the next adjacent target.
- Decide whether a chest detour or safer route is worth the battery trade.
- Use path-reveal rewards when you need a nudge instead of a full spoiler.
- Finish cleanly to post an eligible score to the public board for that exact mode.
Why it stays fair
Determinism matters more than spectacle.
Beeline is built so the same date yields the same board. That keeps the daily challenge comparable, lets the leaderboard mean something, and makes route judgment more important than luck. Difficulty presets adjust battery, fog, and pursuit pressure, but they do not rewrite the underlying premise of the board.
The calmer framing is deliberate. The strongest runs should feel like good observation and good nerve, not noisy arcade punishment. Even the richer layers such as Arcade 3D and Shape Lab exist to support readability and replayability, not to obscure the basic route logic.
What changes from mode to mode
Battery generosity, torch reach, chest coverage, and hornet pressure can change. The daily seed and fairness of the puzzle do not.
What you can explore
Play the public board, inspect an archive day, or build a private comb.
The public daily board is the main ritual. It gives you the seeded challenge, local streak tracking, and the live leaderboard for that exact date and mode. Archive dates let you revisit older boards, while pinned boards stay available offline on the current device.
Shape Lab is separate on purpose. It lets you paint a silhouette and generate a private challenge inside it, but it does not overwrite the public daily board or muddy leaderboard fairness. That keeps creation tools available without making the core daily route feel cluttered.

Fairness and privacy
Local-first progress, limited public posting, and no pay-to-win routes.
Beeline stores your run history, pinned boards, and device-level streak locally. Completed eligible clears can post to the public leaderboard, but the puzzle itself stays available without requiring an account. That keeps the daily ritual accessible while still allowing honest public comparison.
The monetization line is meant to stay outside puzzle fairness. The seed, rules, fog, battery, and leaderboard comparability should never change because of ads or purchases. If you want the deeper policy details, the legal pages are kept separate and linked below.
