Block the Pig
Block the Pig is a strategic logic puzzle where you must place obstacles on a grid to prevent a wandering pig from escaping the farm's boundaries.
About Block the Pig
This logic-based puzzle game challenges your spatial reasoning as you interact with a grid to contain a mobile animal. The core mechanic involves a turn-based system where every action you take is followed by a move from the pig. The objective is to think several steps ahead to ensure the pig cannot reach the edge of the playing area.
The game features a clean farm theme and focuses on pure tactical placement. It is well-suited for players who enjoy brain teasers that reward careful planning and foresight. As the layouts change, you must adapt your strategy to account for different starting positions and potential escape routes.

Instructions
How to play
Use your mouse to click on the grid tiles and place blocks. Each time you place a block, the pig will move one step toward an exit. You must strategically position your obstacles to completely surround the pig or cut off all paths to the edge of the board. The game ends if the pig reaches the outer boundary, so plan your moves to close the gap early.
Tips for beginners
- Focus on blocking the widest escape routes first to limit the pig's movement options.
- Observe the pig's movement patterns to predict which exit it is currently targeting.
- Try to build a perimeter further away from the pig rather than placing blocks directly next to it immediately.
