Cat and Mouse Game!

A fun game based on nodes and paths. And inherent danger!

Cat and Mouse Game

A fun game I discovered on YouTube. It has elements of graph theory and algorithmic thinking but in essence its a chase and evade type game that is super easy to grasp. I played this with my kids using cushions on the floor and they loved it. For all of ten minutes.

Give it a go! I’ve added a score for the mouse so see how high you can get it. Sadly, there is no winning/prize involved!

Cat and Mouse Game

Score: 0

Instructions:

You are the mouse (blue). Click on a connected node to move.

The cat (red) will move after you and try to catch you.

If the cat lands on your node, the game resets and your score returns to 0.

You gain 1 point for every move you make without getting caught!
