Maze memory game

How to play SONAR

SONAR is a free daily maze memory game. You are a dot in a pitch-black maze. Tap to send out a ping that lights up the nearby walls for a heartbeat, then you memorize the layout and feel your way to the exit in the dark. It rewards memory and nerve, not fast reflexes.

How to play

  1. 1Hold and drag to move your dot through the darkness.
  2. 2Tap the ping button to briefly reveal the walls around you.
  3. 3Memorize the layout quickly - the light fades fast.
  4. 4Head toward the glowing gold exit.
  5. 5Escape every maze using as few pings as you can.

Tips and strategy

  • Ping at junctions and corners, not in long straight corridors where you already know the way.
  • Keep moving while you still remember the last ping - do not wait for the light to fade.
  • The exit always glows faintly through the dark, so orient toward it.
  • Fewer pings score better, so trust your memory instead of pinging on every step.

Frequently asked questions

Is SONAR free?

Yes, SONAR is free to play in any browser, with no download or sign-up.

How does pinging work?

Each ping lights up the walls near you for about a second, then fades. You memorize what you saw and move through the dark before the next ping.

Is there an endless mode?

Yes. In endless mode the mazes keep growing and a lantern timer tightens each round. See how deep you can go before the dark wins.
