Subway Connect

How to play

1. Read the current origin, destination and ride budget. Use the provided station and service network; no prior New York subway knowledge is needed. This is a curated puzzle network, not live travel directions.
2. Choose a service at your current station, then a destination served by it. Staying on that service to any station counts as one ride, regardless of how many stops you pass.
3. Change services at a shared station complex. Each new ride uses one of the journey’s allowed rides. Reach the destination within the ride budget.
4. Undo last ride removes your most recent ride. Restart journey returns to this journey’s origin. Both are free retries; they do not restart a running competition clock or erase completed journeys.
5. After arriving, choose Next journey. Finish all three journeys to complete the challenge; fewer rides or moves do not replace a correct finish.

Daily challenge

Everyone gets the same daily challenge for the UTC date. Your saved attempt resumes when you return; the next challenge arrives at midnight UTC. Daily results do not change Elo.

There is no solo time limit. Use the network and retry the current journey as often as you need. Complete all three journeys to finish; the head-to-head clock applies only in that mode.

Solo scoring

Your solo score is the completed share of three journeys, rounded down: 333 points for one, 666 for two and 1,000 for all three. Retrying carries no score penalty and cannot award points twice for a completed journey.
