Free the Key

The puzzle in Free the Key puts you in charge of helping a golden key block break free from a grid of wooden obstacles. The goal is clear right away: move the key to the exit by sliding the wooden blocks aside. Each level presents one locked square room. The key's path is blocked at every turn. Your mission is to shift blocks horizontally or vertically to open a way for the key to reach the only exit. Every move counts, so planning is important if you want to finish each puzzle with fewer moves. You can only slide one block at a time to an empty space. Diagonal moves are not allowed. The golden key always sits among the wooden blocks, waiting for you to clear its escape route. If you get stuck, try backtracking a few moves to spot new options. On later stages, more blocks fill the grid. The number of possible moves increases, so careful planning becomes even more useful. Free the Key rewards players who look ahead before acting. The design keeps each puzzle focused on sliding and clearing a path, not on speed. Each round feels like a fresh challenge with a new block layout. Completing every level unlocks the next, letting you help the key escape again and again.

How to play?

To play, use your mouse or finger to drag blocks horizontally or vertically. Slide wooden blocks away from the key's path. Move the key block toward the exit when the way is clear. If you want a better score, try to solve puzzles with fewer moves. You can reset the level anytime to try a new strategy. Check the block positions before making your first move, so you avoid blocking the key later. Each completed puzzle leads to a new level with a different grid layout and block arrangement.
