A game of Trap The Cat begins with the clever feline in the middle of a hexagonal grid, surrounded by empty tiles that offer multiple escape routes. The goal for the player is to block its path and stop it from escaping to the outer edge. Each turn, the player taps to create a dark hex, while the cat automatically moves to the most open direction. The game concludes when the cat successfully escapes the grid or becomes fully surrounded with no possible moves left. The cat's movements are determined by an algorithm to take the most open or shortest path to escape, forcing the player to think strategically.
Confine a tricky cat by planning each move carefully
In the early rounds of Trap The Cat, it is easy for players to misplace blocks. Players can start by placing blocks closer to the edge to guide the cat inward. The cat will likely try to head for the shortest escape route, so try to predict and navigate its path. Players should slowly create a wall around it, methodically cutting off escape routes. If the cat gets too close to the edge too soon, reset and try a different tactic.
To increase the chances of winning the Cat Trap game, the player must be patient and strategic. Start by placing blocks a few blocks away from the cat, not focusing on trapping the cat immediately, but focusing on shaping the cat's possible escape routes. Create a narrow funnel to guide the cat to areas players can control and block the cat's options. The player should avoid placing blocks randomly but observe the cat's movement patterns. It usually aims for the shortest open route to the edge. Create a semi-circle or a wall section at the beginning, then the player gradually tightens it with each move.
