Move the Tower brings the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle to your browser with clean 2D visuals and simple controls. Your goal is to move a stack of numbered discs from the start rod to any other rod using the third rod as temporary storage. You may move only one disc at a time and you may never place a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. That single rule creates deep logical challenges as the number of discs rises.

The game offers progressive levels that increase disc count and complexity. Each level tracks your moves so you can work toward the optimal solution. For reference, the minimum moves for n discs follow the formula 2^n - 1, which rewards careful planning. A sandbox mode removes the rules so you can experiment freely and learn strategies without constraints. Move the Tower is ideal for casual players who enjoy logic puzzles and for learners who want to practice algorithmic thinking.
