Leap Home

About Leap Home

Halma, the game draughts borrowed its jumps from. Your six pieces start in one corner and must all end up in the opposite one. A piece can step to any next-door square — or hop over a piece into the space beyond, and hops can chain, so a well-placed line of pieces carries you right across the board in one turn. Finding those chains is the whole game.

How to Play

• Tap one of your pieces — everywhere it can reach lights up.
• Tap a lit square to move or hop there.
• Hops can chain: one turn can cross the whole board.
• Get all six pieces into the far corner to win.

Tips & Tricks

• Leave a piece behind as a stepping stone for the ones still coming.
• A chain of hops beats six single steps.
• Don't move back into your own corner — you'll only have to leave again.

What Kids Learn

Leap Home is more than fun — it helps build real skills:

• Planning a route several moves ahead
• Spotting chains and sequences
• Thinking about position, not just distance
