Pipe Panic is a pipe-twisting puzzle starring Pip the plumber's apprentice, racing a 5:00 water clock.

Every room is a 6x6 grid of rotatable pipes - straights, elbows and crosses - with one TAP and one DRAIN.

Blue pipes are already fed by the TAP; follow the blue to see how close your connection is.

Later rooms grow longer and windier, and rusted pipes (brown bolts) lock in place.

Controls

How to control Pipe Panic

  • Click / tap: rotate a pipe 90 degrees clockwise
  • R: restart the run
  • M: mute
Getting started

How to play

  1. 1

    Click or tap any pipe to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

  2. 2

    Connect the TAP (top-left) to the DRAIN (bottom-right) to complete the room.

  3. 3

    Pipes with brown bolts are rusted solid and cannot rotate - plan around them.

  4. 4

    Clear all 8 rooms before the 5:00 timer runs out. Fewer rotations = higher score.

Strategy

Tips for a better run

01

Follow the blue: pipes already connected to the TAP glow blue - extend from the blue frontier.

02

Elbows are the whole puzzle: straights only have 2 states, elbows have 4 - fix elbows first.

03

Crosses pass water in all directions, so they never block you - ignore them when planning.

04

Count your clicks: level score is 1000 minus 20 per rotation, so think before you twist.
