The Hextracer Demo Is Live!

The maze is open!

The Hextracer Demo is live! I'm thrilled to finally share it with you on Windows and Linux. Jump in right now, start tracing, and see how fast you can find your way through the dark.

Hextracer is about racing through a maze you can only see a little at a time. Trust your instincts and move now, or wait for more of the route to appear while the clock keeps running. Then replay the same seed, spot the route you missed, and take another shot at a faster time.

Open Grid and Walled Grid mazes each ask you to read the board differently. When you want even more chaos, Modifiers and challenges are ready to shake up the run.

Online demo races kick off October 7 at 17:00 UTC and stay open through October 26 at 17:00 UTC, so there is plenty more tracing to come.

Jump into the Hextracer Demo now! I can't wait to hear how your first run goes.
