Route-Joining Slide
Sliding a clear lane for every car
Road Connection lines up a row of vehicles above a row of matching destinations, and the job is to slide a route from each vehicle to its own end. Dragging lays the road, and the board only opens the next step when every lane stays clear of its neighbours. Read the pattern before you draw, because a route that looks finished on its own can still cut off another car, so a quick scan of the whole layout beats a confident start.
Pair every vehicle with its matching end
Each car up top carries a marker, and the matching marker waits at the bottom of the board. Slide with that pair in mind from the start, because a road built for the wrong destination leaves one car stranded and one end empty. Match the pair before you draw and keep it in view as the route grows. When two markers look similar, check the exact shape or colour before committing, since a close match is the easiest mistake to make.
Slide one continuous line per road
Sliding to connect routes is the whole game, so each road should be one unbroken stroke from vehicle to destination rather than a chain of guessed pieces. A gap in the middle leaves the car nowhere to roll, and a patched line is harder to read than one clean curve. Drag slowly enough to steer around the edges and let the road follow open ground instead of forcing it through crowded corners. A laid line stays where you put it until you lift it again.
Keep every lane to itself
The board reads best when each route keeps its own lane, because a line that crosses or rides another road cuts the second car off from its destination. Slide the later road around the first one, leaving a visible gap at every crossing, and the layout stays honest. When two roads are forced toward the same opening, widen the bend of the earlier road first so the second one can pass. Separate lanes also make the finished board easy to check at a glance.
Scan the whole board before you start
Before the cars begin to move, take one slow pass over the finished layout and trace every route to its own destination. The check matters because a single overlap or missing joint will stop one car mid-road, and finding it later costs a full redraw. Give special attention to the middle of the board, where a route is easiest to lose among its neighbours. When a stage asks you to click a blank spot to continue, use that moment to confirm the layout once more.
Checks before the cars roll
Do the roads need to stay apart from each other?
Yes, because each vehicle drives its own lane and a crossing or overlap blocks the car behind it. Slide the second route around the first and keep a visible gap at every meeting point. When the board is dense, widen the bend of the earlier road so the next one still fits, and the whole layout stays clear enough to check at a glance.
How do I fix a route I already slid in?
Lift the line you finished and slide it again, because there is no penalty for redrawing a road before the run begins. Remove the affected route, check the pair it belongs to, and lay a fresh curve through clearer ground. Fixing one road early beats patching several at the end, since a corrected lane usually leaves its neighbours untouched.
What should I check before the cars start moving?
Trace every route from its vehicle to the right destination and look for overlaps, gaps, or a road that ends in the middle of the board. Confirm each pair before you begin, then use the continue prompt to take one final look. A quiet scan at the start saves a full retry, because every car depends on the road you laid for it.
