Parking Getaway

Puzzle · 1 player

How to play

It's evening, the lot is packed and everyone wants out at once. Each car can only drive the way its nose is pointing; tap one with a clear path and it speeds away, tap a blocked one and it bumps the car ahead and rolls back. Find the right order, empty the lot without a single bump and collect three stars. 60 levels across four parking lots get steadily trickier, and a fresh daily level waits for you every day.

1. 1A car's headlights and the arrow on its roof show where it will drive; it can only go that way.
2. 2Tap a car whose path is clear all the way to the edge of the lot and it drives off. If the path is blocked it bumps, and that still counts as a move.
3. 3The level ends when every car is out. Clear each car with a single tap to earn three stars.
4. 4Stuck? Hint shows a free car that opens the most paths (3 per level); Undo brings back the last car that left.

About Parking Getaway

Parking Getaway is a short, relaxed logic puzzle set in a car park seen from above, where your job is to send the vehicles out in the right order. The rule fits in one sentence, yet working out which car should leave first from a cramped lot means thinking afresh on every level. Fast reflexes are not needed; hurried taps only add wasted moves.

A nice feature is that every level is generated so that it can be solved. A car leaving only ever frees space and never blocks a path, so as long as you can find one car with a clear way out, you can keep going and the level never traps you. The real challenge is not finishing but finishing cleanly, with no bumps and every car sent away on the first tap.

Sixty levels are spread over four car parks of fifteen levels each. As you advance the lot grows, more vehicles squeeze in, and three-cell vans begin to appear among the two-cell cars; because vans block more lanes they make ordering noticeably harder. The daily level changes each day and makes a neat warm-up for the brain. It is a puzzle that children and adults alike can enjoy at their own pace.

Strategy and tips

• Look along the edges before you tap: vehicles pointing straight at an exit are always the first candidates, and sending them away clears room for others.
• When choosing a car, ask not only whether it can leave but whose path it opens once gone; the move that frees the most vehicles is usually the right one.
• Vans cover three cells, so they cut across several lanes. When you spot a van with a clear road, sending it early often loosens the whole jam.
• Two vehicles facing each other cannot both leave until something else moves; leave such pairs for last and focus on emptying the space around them.
• For three stars your total moves must not exceed the number of vehicles. Instead of tapping a car you are unsure about, trace its path with your eyes first.
• Be sparing with hints: each level gives only three, so saving them for the tight corners near the end is the smarter use.
• After a bump, Undo brings the last departed car back so you can try a different order; seeing why the wrong order failed pays off on later levels.

Frequently asked questions

Can every level be solved?

Yes. A level is accepted only after it has been checked that sending clear vehicles one after another empties it completely. All sixty levels and the daily levels pass this check.

How are stars worked out?

If every vehicle leaves on its first tap, so your moves equal the number of vehicles, you earn three stars. Up to two extra moves gives two stars, more than that gives one.

When does the next level open?

Finish a level with at least one star and the next one unlocks. Stars and progress are kept in your browser's local storage.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Tap the vehicle you want to send out or swipe across it; undo and hint sit on the buttons at the bottom.
