Contraptions

Contraptions is a physics-based puzzle game built around repairing elaborate, Rube Goldberg-style machines. Each level presents objects and monsters; arrange the objects so a chain reaction sets the contraption working and clears the monsters.

While time is frozen, reposition, flip, or connect objects, then press Play to see whether your setup works. If it does not, pause the action and adjust the arrangement. The game includes more than 100 puzzles across five worlds, along with tools to create custom levels and challenge a friend.

Gameplay and features

• Build chain reactions: Use physics and gadgets such as balloons, magnets, rockets, and conveyor belts to create indirect solutions to each puzzle.
• Arrange objects before action: Move, flip, and connect objects while the level is paused, then start the machinery and watch your solution unfold.
• Find different solutions: Clear monsters in varied ways, from pushing them off platforms to triggering connected gadgets; puzzles grow more complex as you progress.
• Create custom levels: Make your own levels and challenge a friend to solve them.

Frequently asked questions

What is the goal in Contraptions?

Repair each broken contraption so its chain reaction removes the monsters from the level.
