Unlock the Bolts
Play Unlock the Bolts free on Quizlino, a calm logic puzzle where you move bolts between holes until every wooden plank falls off the board.
🎮 About Unlock the Bolts
Unlock the Bolts is a slow-thinking puzzle that rewards looking before you tap. Wooden planks are pinned to a board by bolts, and your job is to clear the board completely. You do that by pulling a bolt out and placing it in an empty hole somewhere else. When a plank loses its last bolt, it drops away.
The trick is that planks overlap. A bolt you need may be hidden under another plank, and a plank hanging from one bolt will swing and can block holes you were planning to use. Working out the right order is what makes each board satisfying, and it exercises the same planning skills that help with logic questions in a quiz.
Boards get busier as you go, there is a timer to keep things moving, and a hint is available if you get properly stuck.

💡 Tips & strategy
- 💡Start with planks on top of the pile; they are usually blocking bolts underneath.
- 💡Before moving a bolt, check that the hole you are moving it to will not be needed soon.
- 💡A plank hanging from one bolt swings, so watch where it ends up before your next move.
- 💡Use a hint when you are stuck rather than shuffling bolts at random.
