About Red Flow

Red Flow turns pipe placement into a race against a spreading red flow. On each puzzle grid, you must create a connected route between the starting barrel and the waiting glass before the liquid reaches your pipework. A short quiet period lets you begin arranging pieces, but the pressure soon increases.

The challenge comes from making decisions while the board changes from preparation to urgency. The next pipe is supplied from a queue, empty tiles accept new pieces, and already placed sections can be rotated. Golden rivets hold certain pipes firmly in place, while dead stone tiles cannot carry the flow, forcing you to work around blocked spaces.

How to Play Red Flow

Click or tap an empty grid tile to put down the next pipe piece.

Click or tap a placed pipe to rotate it when that piece is not fixed by golden rivets.

Link the barrel with the glass using the available pipework before the red flow catches up.

Treat dead stone tiles as permanent barriers and plan the route through the open spaces.

Tips & Tricks

1Use the calm opening to identify a likely route before the liquid begins moving along the network.
2Check fixed golden-rivet pieces first, since their orientation cannot be changed later.
3Save open tiles for connections that still need turning, and avoid placing a piece merely because the space is available.
