Creator-published Flight Back Home competition cover, used to identify the original game. It is not a gameplay session completed by this site.

A PLACE TO BEGIN / Flight Back Home

Start with one good session.

Memorize a plane’s outward flight across a hexagonal board, then select the cells that take it back to its landing point.

Meet Flight Back Home ↗

Make the first selection informative

Choose an action because you want to learn what it changes, then inspect the result before continuing. The profile identifies whether the creator describes a click, drag or touch gesture.

Read the feedback

A board may show a new position, a connection or a failure state. Compare the visible response with the stated objective; an appealing visual change does not necessarily mean the task is complete.

Separate documented touch from a test

A creator’s touch instructions are useful evidence of an intended input. Screen size, browser behavior and a completed phone session are separate checks. Use the original host link if an embedded window does not work on your device.
