Towers

The pymetrics (Harver) Towers game is a Tower of London/Hanoi hybrid. You rearrange five labeled colored discs across three equal towers to match a permanently visible target in as few moves as possible.

Click or tap a source tower, then a destination tower

How to Play

01

Match the target pattern before the 2:00 timer reaches zero. The target remains visible throughout the round.

02

Only the top disc on a tower can move. Select its tower, then select a different destination tower with a free slot.

03

Every successful forward move adds one Step. Undo reverses the most recent move; Reset restores the full starting board.

04

Disc letters repeat their color identity, so the pattern is readable without relying on hue alone.

In the real assessment

Five discs and three towers are patent-supported, while the exact time limit and presence of both Undo and Reset still need production footage. This reconstruction uses the recommended 120-second, click-to-select defaults.
