How to play Chicken Run
- Press the play button above and wait for Chicken Run to finish loading. On first load this can take a few seconds while the game files are fetched.
- Look for the in-game tutorial or hints on the first screen; most browser games explain their controls in the opening seconds.
- Read the whole level before your first move. Identify the goal, then look for the forced moves that must happen regardless.
- When you are comfortable, set a target: a score to beat, a level to clear or a time to shave. Small goals are what make Chicken Run stick.

Tips and tricks
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
