About Unlock the Bolts

Unlock the Bolts is a calm and clever screw puzzle game. In front of you sits a board with wooden planks held in place by bolts, and your goal is to unscrew the bolts and drop every plank. It looks simple at first, but each level quickly turns into a little logic problem that asks you to think a few moves ahead.

The way it plays is straightforward. Tap a bolt to unscrew it, then tap an empty hole to move it there. Free holes glow green so you can see where a bolt can go. When a plank has only one bolt left, it swings around that point, and once all its bolts are removed it falls away. The catch is that planks overlap. A plank lying on top can block the bolts underneath, so you have to work out the right order to free everything before the timer runs out.

The fun comes from that moment when you see the solution. Pieces swing, tilt and drop, and the board slowly clears as your plan comes together. The game has a relaxing feel, with wooden pieces and gentle pacing, but the timer adds just enough pressure to keep you focused. With endless levels to play, there is always another board waiting, and you can earn stars as you go. If you get stuck, hints are there to point you in the right direction.

What you will find:
- Endless levels of wooden plank puzzles
- Stars to earn as you clear boards
- Hints to help on tricky layouts
- Swinging and falling planks that react as you remove bolts

Tips for solving levels:
- Start with the planks on top. Clearing them first usually frees the bolts below.
- Think about where a plank will swing when only one bolt remains. It may cover a hole you need.
- Keep a few free holes open so you are never left with nowhere to put a bolt.
- Save your hints for the levels where you are truly stuck.

It is a great game to unwind with while still giving your brain a good workout. Grab your screwdriver and play Unlock the Bolts free in your browser on PC or mobile.
