About Circuit Trace
Circuit Trace is an ArcadeNexa original puzzle where a jumbled grid of pipe-like wire tiles hides a single working circuit, and your job is to untangle it. Every board starts with a power source and a set of unlit bulbs scattered across the tiles. Rotate the pieces the right way and the current flows outward, wires begin to glow, and bulbs snap on one by one. It is a calm, satisfying blend of logic and pattern-reading: no timer breathing down your neck, just you, a knot of connectors, and the quiet click of a path finally completing.
You play entirely by clicking. Each click rotates a tile 90 degrees, and you keep turning pieces until their ends line up with their neighbors. Glowing wires show what is already connected to the power source, so you can trace the live path outward and see exactly where the flow breaks. The goal is to light every bulb before your rotation budget runs out, which turns each level into a puzzle of efficiency, not just correctness. Across the 15 levels the grids grow larger, the branching paths multiply, and the rotation budget tightens, so early boards teach the idea while later ones demand real planning.
The smart approach is to start from the power source and work outward, locking in the tiles you are sure of before touching ambiguous corners, since every wasted rotation eats into your budget. Watch the glow spread as your guide and fix dead ends near the source first.
