Kindness Chain: free Ramadan and Eid good deeds puzzle game

What is Kindness Chain?

Five streets of neighbours, each needing something: a warm meal, a helping hand, a little gift, or tea and a chat. Leave home with one good deed, bring it to a neighbour who needs it, and they pass a deed of their own on to the next house. Plan the chain so every house on the street is helped.

Kindness Chain is a free planning puzzle about the neighbourly side of Ramadan and Eid, a time when many families share food, lend a hand and visit people who are on their own. Each street is a small map of houses joined by lanes, and every house needs one thing: a warm meal, a helping hand, a little gift, or tea and a chat.

You leave home carrying one good deed. Bring it to a neighbour on a lane who needs exactly that, and they pass a deed of their own on to the next house. Help every house in one chain. Each street is built around a hidden route through all the houses, so it can always be solved, but a few tempting turns lead to dead ends.

How to play

Bring what's needed

Tap a house on a lane from where you are that needs exactly the deed you carry.

Pass it on

A helped house lights up and gives you its own deed for the next house, shown after the arrow.

Help every house

Each house is helped once, in one chain. Some turns lead to a dead end, and every street can be solved.

Score

100 per street plus 10 per house. Undo costs 10, a hint 25.

Scoring

Each street scores 100 plus 10 per house helped. An undo costs 10 and a hint 25; a street never scores below 40.

There are no lives: every street can be solved, and tapping a house you can't help yet just explains why. Your best score is kept in this browser.

What it trains

Planning ahead

Checking what each step leads to before taking it.

Spotting dead ends

Seeing which turns leave no way to finish.

Generosity

How one good deed sets off the next, house by house.

Strategy and tips

Check what comes next

Before you help a house, look at what it passes on. If nobody nearby needs that, it's a dead end.

Save lonely houses for last

A house with only one lane is usually where the chain has to end.

Plan two steps ahead

Think about where you're going and what you'll be carrying when you get there.

Pick the harder one first

When two houses need what you carry, help the one that will be harder to reach later.

Undo early

The longer you walk down a dead end, the more steps you have to take back.

Why play Kindness Chain?

Kindness Chain is a path-finding puzzle: visit every house once, following lanes, where each step decides what you can do next. It trains looking ahead and spotting dead ends before you reach them, the same planning habit used for routes, schedules and to-do lists. And it shows how small favours add up when everyone passes them on.
