Bumper Jam: Danfo Bus Puzzle

Rush hour at the danfo bus stop. The parking lot is packed, a full circle of riders is waiting, and there are only three loading bays. It's a proper danfo jam, and your job is to work out what leaves, and in what order. Every vehicle has an arrow. Tap one and it drives out along its arrow to a free bay — if nothing is in its way. Riders only board a vehicle of their own color, in the order they are standing, so a bay taken by a vehicle nobody needs yet is a bay you will miss badly in a minute. HOW IT PLAYS • The circle of riders is always full: 64 or more people, all waiting for their color. • Two gates feed the circle. The number under each gate shows how many riders are still coming from that side, so you can plan ahead. • Three bays. Park colors nobody wants yet and the stop jams. • A car seats 16, a van 24, and the buses, coaches, hospital shuttle and black limo 40 each. HARD LEVELS THAT NEED A PLAN • Tapping at random never wins. • A HARD level is only called HARD if sending the next color you need is not enough. There is always a way through without boosters — you have to find it. • SUPER HARD levels push further still. NEW TRICKS, EARLY • Level 8: "?" cars keep their color hidden until the way in front of them clears. • Level 14: the hospital shuttle wants to be on its way fast. • Level 17: the black limo. • Level 21: timed rounds, for when you want the pressure. MORE PUZZLES • Parking Jam: slide the cars aside and drive the red car out. • Save Rex: Rex is pinned under a rock. Drag the ball on his rope through the maze into the wheel's notch to lift the rock off him. The rope is only so long, so find a short way. ACROSS NIGERIA • Start at the Lagos bus stops — Oshodi, Obalende, CMS — then ride on to Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Abuja, Kano, Enugu, Calabar and beyond. • Win the yellow Lagos danfo, the taxi and the molue as paint for your vehicles, or buy them early in the Garage. • Play in English, or switch on Naija Pidgin in Settings. BOOSTERS • Undo a move, call the riders you need, tow any vehicle straight into the Express bay, or open a fourth bay. FAIR BY DESIGN • No level needs an ad. The extra bay and every booster can also be bought with coins you earn by playing. • Most ads are ones you choose to watch — for an extra bay, another try, double coins or a booster. • The only other ad is an occasional short one between levels: never during a level, never before level 11, and at most once every four levels. • The round does not end while riders are still boarding — you are never told you have run out of space a moment before a bay frees up. • No real-money wagers, entry fees or prizes of any kind. Over a thousand levels, built fresh from their number, so there is always another danfo jam to clear.
