Pull the String Unblocked — Play Free Online

Pull the String is a pin-puzzle game set in a tall tower. Golden pins hold the platforms together, and your hero is standing on one of them. Every level asks the same question: which pin do you slide out first, and which next, so the hero drops to safety while the enemies end up in the lava?

Each level is a short puzzle that takes a minute or two. Nothing is timed, so you can look at the layout for as long as you like before you touch anything. That makes it a calmer companion to the more hands-on games on Car Drawing Game, and it suits a quick break between longer sessions.

It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and it works with a mouse or a finger.

How to play

Use the mouse or a finger to interact with the pins. Click or tap a golden pin, or drag it out, and it slides free. Anything resting on it then moves, and gravity does the rest. Some layouts have more than one pin, and the order in which you pull them decides what falls where.

Before you pull anything, look at where the hero is, where the enemies are, and where the lava sits. The hero must not land in the lava, and the enemies should. If a pull goes wrong, restart the level and try a different order. Failing costs you nothing but a few seconds.

Tips

• Trace the fall in your head before you commit. Ask what each pin is holding up and where that thing will end up.
• Try pulling the pin that drops the enemies first, as long as it does not also clear the hero's floor.
• Watch for pins that release something heavy onto the hero. A safe-looking pull can still crush your character.
• If you are stuck, try the pins in the reverse of your first instinct. The intended solution is often the less obvious order.

Similar games on Car Drawing Game

The headline game, Car Drawing Game, has you draw the shape your vehicle rolls on. Pull the String is closer to Happy Glass or One Line Draw, where the puzzle is solved by one decisive action rather than a steady run. Draw Wire and Draw the Road stay on the drawing side of the shelf, while Eggy Car and Drive Mad are the picks if you want to drive rather than think.

If you like puzzles where you plan first and watch the physics play out afterwards, this is a good fit for a short session on a phone or a laptop.
