About Elektrichki: A Calm Logic Puzzle About Routes and Timetables
Elektrichki is a calm logic puzzle built around train routes and timetables. The challenge is to draw a path from each station to the platform sharing its number, while making sure trains never occupy the same cell or meet head-on. Routes are allowed to cross, but the timing of each departure matters just as much as the path itself — a well-placed delay can let one train yield to another. Sometimes a longer detour around the forest costs less total waiting time than holding a train on the platform, and that trade-off is at the heart of every puzzle.
The game spans 20 handcrafted levels across two lines, and every level has a verified three-star solution. Sessions are short, controls require only one finger, and a full-solution hint is available whenever a level proves too stubborn.
How to Play Elektrichki
Draw a route by dragging from a station — shown as a circle — to its matching platform, shown as a square. Once all routes are drawn, use the departure board to adjust timing: the + and − buttons delay individual trains so they yield to one another. to run it.
The scoring goal is to minimise total waiting time across all trains. Earning three stars on a level requires finding the solution with the least combined delay. In the final level, five trains must take turns passing through just two gaps in a forest wall.
Controls
- Mouse / Touch drag: Draw a route from a station (circle) to its platform (square)
- + on departure board: Increase a train's departure delay
- − on departure board: Decrease a train's departure delay
- Go! button: Run the timetable
Games You Might Like
If the route-planning logic in Elektrichki appeals to you, the broader puzzle games collection on Playgama has plenty more grid-based challenges to work through. For something with a similar one-tap spatial focus, Arrows asks you to clear a field of directional arrows without collisions, rewarding the same kind of careful sequencing. Arrow Puzzle builds on that idea with maze-like grids and a step-by-step clearing mechanic that grows more strategic as layouts become more complex. Arrow Exit Puzzle strips things back to a minimalist board where finding the correct removal order is the entire challenge — a clean fit for fans of Elektrichki's deliberate pacing. Fans of structured deduction will also find a strong selection in the logic games category, which covers a wide range of rule-based puzzles.
