Stuck on a puzzle? There are over 1.2 MILLION player submitted solutions at http://trainyard.ca/solutions

Trainyard Express is a puzzle solving game unlike any that youve ever played. Its easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isnt a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle.

The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases youll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, youll have to use basic colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game.

Known issues (minor):

- If some provinces cant be unlocked even after youve solved all the available puzzles, thats a bug: Go to options, switch to player 2 then back to player 1 to fix it.

- Sometimes, the sounds stop working. Close the app using the multitasking bar to get sounds back.

Pros and cons of Trainyard Express app for iPhone and iPad

Trainyard Express app good for

I loved the game even before having my own iPhone or iPad! Its just so much fun to exercise my brain in this way! I love it!

Lots of fun in this real puzzle game! Perfect if you want to spend your time!

Great game, but there are two things to be fixed. A blank screen appear when a level is completed. Login on facebook doesnt work. In my phone I can see this issues. But I highly recomend the app.

Its a great puzzle game. Just started but Im already loving it.

Finally a game that is intelligent, challenging, and fun. Great brain exercise.

A very good little game for children and adults who like to play with trains. I look forward to the next levels of difficulty as solutions can be more complex as expertise develops.

Some bad moments

its a great game but it is still in iphone 4 resolution with big black borders ...

The game stopped working after only a few levels. The same happened on both my Ipad and my Ipod.

I thought I had found a great new game for my iPad but it keeps freezing after I have left it for a while, Or when I have just completed a puzzle then when I do as someone suggested and turn the app. off and restart it, it begins at the beginning again and I have to go through all the puzzles again to get to the level I was at. I am using the free app. is that the reason?

I have installed the free and purchased version. I can play for awhile everything is great. Then it freezes up after a puzzle is solved. Have to go out of game close it on my phone and go back to the puzzle I just solved and hit the back button in the upper left corner to move on to the next puzzle. This happens on both versions.

I downloaded this game today. I have had it for so little time that Apple hasnt sent me the receipt yet. Initially I was very happy with the game. The tutorial is actually helpful. The game is challenging. And just after the end of the tutorial, the game started crashing. It wont let me go on, it wont let me go back. If I shut down the game and reopen it, I can play one board and then Im back to the same problem. I was looking forward to a new game. This wont be it.
