ROUTE Rookie Campaign Guide: Build the Core Habit

Use the first 20 free Rookie plays to learn endpoints, corridors, and coverage.

Name the constraint

Identify what makes each field different: a blocked edge, forced pair, coverage pocket, or competing corridor.

Prefer readable lines

Avoid decorative loops unless they are required to cover playable dots.

Review the diagram

Completed plays enter the Playbook. Compare shapes to see how similar endpoints produce different solutions.

Try it on a field

Open ROUTE on iPhone and change one path at a time. Every playable field is solver-validated, so a failure is useful evidence about corridor ownership, endpoint access, or coverage.
