Use your mouse to drag the loose puzzle pieces (on the right) to their correct spot (on the left). When you drop a piece over the correct spot it sticks.

If you drop a piece over the wrong spot it returns back to the other loose pieces.

The player who fills the most pieces WINS! Standard rounds of Puzzle Dasher include 5 puzzles (pictures). You've got 40 seconds to complete each puzzle before it automatically switches to the next one.

Each puzzle needs 5 empty spaces filled. So, including all 5 puzzles, there's a total of 25 possible pieces you can fit.

In "Expert" games of Puzzle Dasher, each puzzle needs 6 empty spaces filled and there are 10 Puzzles. So, there's a total of 60 Pieces you can fit.

Fitting multiple correct pieces without attempting to place an incorrect piece earns a Combo Bonus and you get additional Gems.

TIEBREAKER: In the case that players tie for the number of pieces fit, the Combo Bonus acts as a tiebreaker and the player with the highest bonus wins.
