The Broodcomb

How to Play

• Everyone gets the same honeycomb every day. It resets at 00:00 UTC, for everyone, at once.
• This maze runs on true hexagonal cells — up to six neighbors and six possible directions at every junction, not the usual four.
• A brood wave ripples outward from the queen's chamber, forever — cells seal shut as the wave passes through them, then hatch back open once it moves on.
• A sealed cell simply can't be entered until it hatches again. It's never permanent — just wait, and it opens back up on its own schedule.
• Reach the queen's chamber at the heart of the hive to finish.
• Pick a level, Beginner through Extreme, on top of the day's difficulty. Higher levels grow the honeycomb and speed up the wave.
• Up/Down arrows move NW/SE; hold Shift with Up/Down for NE/SW. Left/Right move W/E. Or use Q/E/A/D/Z/C for all six directions directly, no modifier needed.
