About game
Staring at a blank screen while your coffee gets cold is a sign you need a mental refresh. Paper Queen turns your boredom into a sharp logic session that fits perfectly into a five-minute break. You navigate a minimalist board where every move forces a transformation into a new character. Capturing a knight turns you into one, changing how you traverse the grid immediately. Since your goal is to clear the board, you must think carefully about the sequence of your captures. This logic puzzle eliminates the need for deep chess knowledge because legal options glow right when you need them. You can test your skills across sixty increasingly tricky stages that demand focus. Daily challenges give you a fresh board to master alongside a global streak count. Jump into this game right now in your browser without waiting for any downloads.
How to play
Tap a highlighted square to take the piece standing there, or drag your piece onto it.
Taking it turns you into that piece, and from then on you move as it does. Rook, bishop and queen cannot reach past other pieces or walls; the knight jumps over them; the king moves one square.
The goal is to clear every piece off the board. There are exactly as many moves as pieces, so only the order matters.
The strip below the board shows everything you have been so far.
Stuck? "Undo" takes one move back, "To the fork" jumps straight to the last point where you had a choice, "Restart" rebuilds the board. All of it is free and unlimited.
