About Peg Jump

Peg Jump is peg solitaire, a puzzle people have been playing for over 300 years. The board is shaped like a plus sign with 33 holes. Every hole has a peg except the one in the middle. You remove pegs by jumping over them, just like in checkers.

Jump a peg straight over a neighbor into an empty hole, and the peg you jumped over comes off the board. The game ends when no more jumps are possible. Most people finish with a handful of pegs. Getting down to one is a real achievement, and one peg in the exact center is a perfect game.

How to play

  1. Press Play. All holes are filled except the middle one.
  2. Tap a peg that can jump. The holes it can land in start to glow.
  3. Tap a glowing hole. Your peg jumps there and the peg it jumped over is removed.
  4. Keep jumping until no moves are left. Fewer pegs left means a better score!
