Bitewise

Deep inside a fallen log, a hungry little crew is looking for the way through. You pick a termite, tap where it should chew, and a crunchy new tunnel opens up. Nothing moves until you do, so there is always time to think it through.

Four termites, four talents

• The Worker chews soft wood and goes the furthest.
• The Soldier is the only one who can bite through tough wood and knots, but it tires quickly.
• The Mason spits mud to plug sap and water, and to bridge a hollow.
• The Scout squeezes through cracks and hops across hollows without chewing at all.

Every level hands you its own crew, and every termite in it has a job to do. Work out who chews where before their energy runs out, around nails and stones, past creeping sap and rushing water, and under boulders that drop the moment the spot beneath them opens.

150 levels, one long climb

The first 30 levels bring in one new piece at a time, and the very first ones have a friendly guide to show you how. Then the climb begins: 120 more levels that mix every piece together, with a tough nut to crack at the end of every ten.

A fresh dig every day

The Daily dig brings three new levels every day, Easy, Medium and Hard. See where your dig lands among your friends and everyone else: fewest bites first, then the quickest. Win a level every day to grow your streak, and every seventh day the crew brings you a gift of hints. Proud of a dig? Dare a friend to beat it, or share your day.

Race for the Crumb Cup

Every day is a race up the Crumb Cup table. New stars and daily digs move you up, and your place when the race ends earns crumbs for the week's cup. Fill it past each prize line for Coins and hints.

Work Orders

Each week brings a fresh set of Work Orders, with a new page of them every day from Monday to Thursday: win on three days, crack a tough nut, earn three stars on five levels. Claim them for sugar cubes and open chests of Coins and hints along the way.

Dress up your crew

Spend the Coins you earn in the Boutique. Pick a hat set the whole crew wears, from party hats to pirate hats and wizard hats, and board looks that change how your wins celebrate, how your bites crumble and how your tunnels look. Twenty trophies mark the way.

Relaxed and rewarding

Undo is free and unlimited, so getting stuck is never a setback. If you need a nudge, the hint bulb points at your next move, and a hint never costs you a star. Solve a level to earn a star, and solve it in fewer bites to earn up to three. Do it with no undos for a clean dig.

VIP

Gem Arcade VIP members also get every daily dig from the last three months, hints with no ad, a streak shield for a missed day each week, and the Royal Crew outfit with its own royal board looks.
