Taxi Pickup

Add game to your favorites

This is a pathfinding puzzle game based on cabs. Direct the taxis to their passengers and drive them to where they need to go. Remember to watch the paths; a skilled cabbie knows that the most direct paths aren’t always the best ones.

• Pick up the customers of the cab’s color and bring them to their destinations.
• Cabs can only pass by a route once.
• Avoid colliding with other cabs.

    • Create a route for the taxicab to pick up a waiting passenger and drive them to their destination.
      • Select the cab and draw a path for it.
      • A cab can only pass by the same road once. The only exception is for intersections, which they can cross orthogonally.
      • A cab can only pick up passengers of their color.
      • The cabs must bring the passengers to the locations with the arrows of their color.

  • Cabbie management
    • Many levels have you control more than 1 taxicab.
      • Your job is to make sure that none of the cabs collide.
      • The cabs must up their passengers and reach their destinations without overlapping with the paths of other cabs.
    • When drawing the path of another taxi, the path of the previous one you laid plays out.
      • This can help you visualize the ideal paths for all the cabs in the level.
    • You may not travel at the same path twice in the same direction.
      • More than one cab can turn at an intersection.
      • Cabs can pass each other’s paths in an orthogonal direction.
