About game
Clear the board by jumping pegs over each other until just one piece remains on the grid. Hi-Q forces you to plan every move with precision because a single wrong jump creates a stalemate quickly. Every successful capture removes a piece, requiring you to think ahead to keep your options open. This classic peg solitaire layout keeps your brain sharp as you navigate the tight 7x7 board. Strategy matters here since the clock constantly counts down to challenge your speed. High scores depend on how fast you clear the board compared to your personal bests. You can rely on hints if you hit a dead end during a tough session. Access Hi-Q right in your browser without any downloads or registration delays today.
