About This Game

Untangle the twisted rubber bands in this satisfying logic puzzle! Each level presents a new knot of colorful bands wrapped around pegs — drag and rearrange them until every band sits neatly on its own. Easy to pick up, but the tangles get trickier as you go.

How to Play

Click and drag rubber bands to move them between pegs. Untangle all the bands so none overlap. Think ahead — one wrong move can make things messier!

History & Origins

Untangling puzzles have deep roots in both mathematics and gaming. The mathematical field of knot theory, which studies the properties of tangled loops, has inspired puzzle designers since the 19th century. Physical disentanglement puzzles like Chinese rings and tavern puzzles have challenged people for centuries, proving that the satisfaction of creating order from chaos is a universal human drive.

Digital untangling games gained popularity with Planarity (2005), a web-based game where players rearranged graph nodes so no edges crossed. The concept translated beautifully to touchscreens, where dragging elements to untangle them feels intuitive and tactile. Games like Flow Free and Untangle explored variations on this theme.

Bendy Circle innovates on the formula by using elastic rubber bands wrapped around pegs, adding a physical simulation element that makes the puzzle feel tangible. The stretchy, bendy behavior of the bands creates a satisfying visual feedback loop — you can see the tension in the system and feel the relief when everything slots neatly into place. It's the digital equivalent of organizing a tangled drawer of cables.
