Description:

Place tiles on the board according to a certain pattern. Tiles played must match neighboring tiles in color or symbol. The rules are simple, but there are 4 game variations to increase the challenge!

Lose a credit for attempting to place a tile beside another that does not match. Right click to return a tile that cannot be played - but if you missed a spot, lose 3 credits! Tiles without patterns need only match in color, and gray matches any color. Picking a star tile lets you remove another from the board.

There are 4 games in one. The Construct game requires that all designated spaces on the board be filled within the alloted time before advancing to the next level. Keep going in Continue for as long as possible to maximize credits. In this variation, when rows and columns (passages) are completed they are removed.

The Clear game requires removing (by creating passages) all designated tiles in the alloted time before advancing. Classic is hardest for the beginner, and requires that 72 designated tiles be played - tiles can be returned but will turn up again later. There are 3 levels of overall difficulty to make Passage 3 even more challenging.

Options allow a choice of graphic themes and tile sets within each theme. Current themes are Animals, Antiques, Astronomy and Architecture. Registering unlocks 150 levels. Pay $11 for the full game with 1graphic theme, or $16.99 to have all 4 (and any future additions).

Passage 3 provides a tremendous variety in game play within one set of simple rules. It is easy to learn and the graphics are excellent. Many hours of fun for a wide range of ages and abilities!
