How to play:
Step 1
Choose a challenge. Place the puzzle pieces as shown in the challenge. The figurines of Hansel & Gretel should be orientated with their face towards the side of the gameboard with the exit. Easy challenges will only feature Hansel OR Gretel. Harder challenges will feature both characters.

Step 2
Help Hansel and/or Gretel escape from the Witch’s haunted garden. Watch out: the lollypop-trees may try to prevent your escape!

Step 3
You have found the solution when you can slide Hansel and/or Gretel through the exit. For challenges that feature Hansel AND Gretel, both characters must escape. The order in which they do doesn't matter.
