Avoid The Tow Truck

Can you slip your car out of the lot before the tow truck hooks it? Every move counts in this tense puzzle.

Parking illegally has consequences, and in Avoid The Tow Truck, that consequence is a very persistent driver with a hook. You start each level with your car parked somewhere foolish—maybe half on the curb, maybe blocking a driveway. The tow truck prowls a set route. Click or tap to move your car one space at a time, and hope you've read the pattern right. What hooked me was how quickly "just one more try" turns into twenty. The first few levels lull you into thinking it's a walk in the park. Then you get a board where the tow truck doubles back and you're suddenly trapped between a fire hydrant and a mail truck. I swear I heard my own heartbeat. The puzzle isn't about speed—it's about sequencing. You have to think two steps ahead, not because the game tells you to, but because acting on instinct will get you towed. Don't expect hand-holding. The game drops you in and lets you fail. That might sound harsh, but it works because each failure is quick and the retry is instant. You'll learn the tow truck's loop, the safe tiles, the spots where you can duck behind a building. It's a small game, but it packs that perfect bite-sized obsession—the kind you open for five minutes and suddenly an hour's gone.

Use mouse or tap on the screen to play this game

Watch the tow truck's full patrol path before you make your first move. Use parked cars and fire hydrants as blockers—the truck can't go through them. If you're unsure, tap one safe tile at a time and wait to see the truck's reaction. Try not to chase the truck's taillights; plan a route that intersects its path as little as possible. Some levels have a single-tile chokepoint—get through it early while the truck is far away.
