About the Game

Program a robot to solve logic puzzles in ChipWits, an open-ended programming game for beginners and experts alike! Inspired by the 1980s original, ChipWits combines the best of puzzle games, automation, and programming to introduce a new generation of players to a classic gaming experience.

Take control of a humble robot, ChipWit Model CW-03.24, and learn the ropes of automating its activities. Place chips to instruct your ChipWit’s movement across the factory floor, building on skills learned in previous areas to solve increasingly complex puzzles to help Professor Chip open his first factory. Order these chips to find a solution to each floor, then press play to watch your ChipWit accomplish its goal!

ChipWits is designed to mimic programming, with no prior experience required. Each puzzle has multiple solutions and can be resolved in unique and clever ways. Experiment with different chip combinations to achieve your goal, and see how your performance compares to the global leaderboard! 

Every solution can be optimized to:

• Maximize your score

• Minimize the number of chips used

• Minimize the number of cycles (steps) it takes for your program to run

ChipWits reimagines the original 1984 game of the same name. This reboot offers an accessible introduction to programming, featuring thorough tutorials, familiar automation controls, and a diverse range of puzzle solutions.
