Puzzle

US Version

The garden at Barde Manor has grown so thick that it's nearly impassible! Fortunately, a sign tells you how to navigate your way through it.

It reads:
"Walk on every square in the garden only once, going in numerical order from 1 to 8."

Can you get to the goal from one of the starting points?

US Version

When working from the exit, you'll need to complete each series backward from 8 to 1.

You'll need to step on every square in the garden, but you can't step on one twice.

As you work backward from the exit, if you find yourself in a dead end of options, back up until you find another branch.
