500 puzzles, Daily challenges, dark mode and 14 offline languages.
Every move asks a question. Will you attack, block a winning line, or create two threats at once?
Caro Gomoku brings tactical practice to the familiar game of five in a row. Solve short positions, try an idea, then revisit each move to understand your choices.
500 CURATED JOURNEY LEVELS
Tap Puzzle on the home screen to follow a map of 25 stages with 20 levels each. The first level introduces the game; the remaining positions require a win in three of your moves, with one correct opening move. Short position names appear beside level numbers. Complete levels in order and finish each stage to open the next gate. Each level shows its goal, such as "Win in 3", in a highlighted banner above the board. Return to an unfinished Journey game to continue playing.
Journey uses five or more in a row, with blocked ends still winning, independently of the rule selected for AI or two-player matches. Progress distinguishes independent solutions from assisted completion.
COLLECT 25 STAGE MEDALS
Earn Bronze for completing at least half a stage, Silver for completing the whole stage, and Gold for independently mastering every level in it. Tap a medal on the map or in Collection to inspect that stage's requirements and progress.
PRACTICE AND DAILY CHALLENGES
Practice one-move and three-move winning positions from the included collection. Hints highlight a move to consider; the threat view reveals squares where your opponent can win immediately. The daily challenge selects an included position by date. Its seven-column calendar shows completed days and tracks your streak. Select missed days in the current month to catch up.
Hints have a limited balance with a daily top-up. Watch a rewarded ad to get more when your balance runs out. Every rewarded-ad button is marked Ad.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See Journey, Daily streaks, training and local games in compact cards. A complete 10-level AI table shows games, wins, draws, assisted games and totals. In landscape, controls sit on the left and a large board fills the right.

On a 3×3 board, connect three pieces horizontally, vertically or diagonally; a full board without a winning line is a draw. Larger Caro boards require at least five in a row. Both blocked ends still win by default; choose the alternative rule in the Play with AI or Two players setup popup.
