Pull the thread. Keep the carving.
A premium 3D yarn puzzle for iPhone and Android. A wooden carving, wrapped in colored yarn, freed one thread at a time.
You can’t pull a thread that another still lies on.
Tap a color to pull it free.
Take it apart,
in the right order.
A wooden carving sits on a ceramic turntable, wrapped in colored yarn. You unwind it one thread at a time until only the wood is left.
It looks like an afternoon at a craft table. It plays like a puzzle that wants you one move ahead: every thread lies under or over another, and the order is the whole game.
Now on a whole carving.
- 01
Tap where it breaks
Tap the yarn where it should break. It unwinds onto its spool on the rack, and the next spool moves up.
- 02
Then it gets harder
Every so often a Hard level, later a Super hard one: fewer spots, more planning, more coins.
Plan the order.
Every thread has to land somewhere. Free the right one at the right time, keep a spot open in the basket, and the carving comes clean.
- The rackOnly a few spools fit here. Pull a thread whose spool is on it and the yarn winds straight on.
- The queueThe other spools wait their turn and move up as the rack empties.
- The basketYarn whose spool isn’t up yet waits here, and winds on by itself when it is. Fill the basket and you’re out of room.
Every carving has a story.
Each carving you free goes into the Album with a short, true story. Unwind it again on a harder level and a new “Did you know?” fact opens, three for every carving. Animals, landmarks and vehicles from around the world, with more on the way.
- La Mancha, Spain
Windmill
Round white mills with cone-shaped caps have caught the wind on these ridges for more than four hundred years.
- Antarctica
Baby Penguin
A chick spends its first weeks on a parent’s feet, tucked under a warm fold of belly.
- Cappadocia, Türkiye
Fairy Chimney
Volcanic ash turned to soft stone, carved by wind and rain into cones that wear a harder cap.
- Big-city streets
Taxi
Yellow as a sunflower and always in a hurry. Wave from the curb and it will find you.
Crafted to the last thread.
Tap to break
The yarn breaks exactly where you tap, and the pulled thread swings and sags like real yarn on its way to the spool.
A turntable you spin
Drag to turn the carving all the way round. A thread being pulled turns it too.
Hard and Super hard
One line of levels that keeps getting harder, with Hard and Super hard levels along the way. Five lives; one comes back every 30 minutes.
Boosters you earn
Undo, a hint that pulls a safe thread, and one more basket spot. Winning levels earns the coins for them.
An Anatolian soundtrack
Original music with oud, ney and kanun. Every thread you wind plucks a note in the collection’s makam.
