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.

Leap Home is one of our board & strategy games for kids. This one plays in the iPhone and iPad app rather than in the browser, but 33 of our games are free to play right here — browse the full library to find them. It is also in our classic games for kids collection.

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 It Practises

Leap Home is mostly for fun, but it still asks something of a child:

  • Planning a route several moves ahead
  • Spotting chains of jumps
