Peg Jump provides that old fashioned family fun – on your iPhone and iPad!
Peg Jump is sure to bring back those childhood memories. Whether it's laying in your grandparent's living room, watching Judge Wapner on The People's Court™, or waiting for your Chicken n' Dumplins at your local Cracker Barrel™. Peg Solitaire has been a family favorite for years!
This little game is simple, yet surprisingly challenging.
Moves are made similar to checkers, by "jumping" pegs to remove them. Can YOU leave only one peg?
Already know how to solve the famous triangle puzzle? Give the english board a try! The Peg Jump Pro add-on provides a new board, 30 new challenging puzzles, and has all the Peg Jump fun, without the ads.
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
….our upgrade to Peg Games Pro is no longer functioning. We cant even select it on the Play Menu. Wish we knew what was wrong.
Its great the scoring is a little confusing fun challenge we wish there where more free boards but other than that its perfectly made.
Tell us how on Gods green earth its possible that someone got to a single peg in .05 seconds!? Even #20 got there in less than a second. Obviously impossible. Reset leaderboards pls.
Great for its purpose, but the leaderboards need a rework. How is it possible to solve it in less than a tenth of a second? Somethings gotta detect when it isnt factual.
Fun game; works fine. Weird scoring, not sure what the algorithm behind it is. Would be nice to have a scoreboard showing your highest personal scores and best times. Would be even better to compare against others or race against others to complete the game. Plenty puzzles but needs more features.
Something about the scoring has changed dramatically since the update.
Old style app, from early days. Visually needs help. Needs better UX and instructions. Why does the bell ring, especially when the puzzle is not solvable? The game is fun but the app needs help.
We love the game but hate the annoying ads. We would gladly pay for an ad fee version of this game.
IT KICKS ME OUT OF THE GAME IDIOTS.
Still wont give points for game finished even when leaving one peg. Love playing just wish it would give us points for our work.
Maybe some instructions needed.
It is just like the original but, has a few different features that we like. Example: The extra board select and the random gap button it is useful when you cannot pic a gap. Overall GREAT APP.
We have no problem with it just downloading it to see if we can beat it faster here than physical board, can beat it in 18 secs just have to try to beat it on here.
But we don't like the fact that we have to upgrade to use the english board.
This is a fun game but the scoring makes no sense. Our best times have lower scores than slower times. There is no explanation of how the scoring is determined. Our best time is 5.68 seconds to solve the classic board with one peg left in the starting hole. For whatever reason that score is over 2000 points less than our high score.
Love this game. But, every time we post a high score on twitter it crashes.
Great layout for fat fingers. Would give it 5, but can't stop it from making noises. Even with 'Sound Off' it still makes too many corny noises. To turn off noises you really have to lower phone volume which creates problems with ringers n alarms.
We get messages from Apple that this app must be updated by the developer. It doesn't look like it's been updated in quite a while.
Please update to be compatible with iOS 11.
We just installed an update but we hadn't played in a while. Right now, in classic mode, the top peg in the triangle won't respond to being tapped. What's going on? 4 stars because we love this game and always have but right now we can't play it.
We just updated this game which we love, but now we cannot select the top peg during the game. Not even to take it off at the beginning. We check other apps and is not the phone, so please fix the app. Many thanks in advance.
Reminds us of the times we played it at the cracker barrel.
Great implementation of the game and nice attention to detail.
This app great! It's really cute, we love all the detail.
Awesome app! We play almost every day.
This is our favorite app. We'd much rather be solving these puzzles than chatting with our friend Evan.
There is a colossal bug that impacts the leaderboard. If you don't already know this, you get bonus points for using the same peg consecutively. However, due to the retake move button, you can repeat your bonus point moves. The retake button DOES NOT take back the bonus points. We were able to become the 4th best on the triangle board because of this bug. All top 5 people on this board have been utilizing the bug to their advantage. What to do: A. Remove the retake button. OR B. Fix the bug. AND Figure out the maximum bonus points a player could possibly get without abusing the glitch. Then, set that as the limit of bonus points you can get. Remove everyone who has more bonus points than this from the scoreboard and make them restart again. FIX THIS AND YOU GET FIVE STARS.
Old version was awesome, u could fly thru the pegs. New version u have to tap to release last peg moved which slows down time.
This app stinks! Whenever we try to turn the peg hinting off it doesn't work! We would rate it 0 s if we could.
Loved the old version, now we must delete :(.
We have removed this app. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. We liked customizing our board. Now it looks chunky and cheap!! It is very annoying flipping back and forth. Too bad.
New interface is too slow. Old version was much more enjoyable.
This game is hecka fun! Best game in the world.
Please make an iPad verion will even pay 1.99$ for it.
The gameplay's fun and now the graphics are 100 times better. The "plus" board is great too — the puzzles are lots of fun to solve.
Peg Jump has been updated with new graphics and animations and it looks fantastic. Kudos to the excellent work of the developer.
This game has been completely redone and it's amongst the most beautiful board games on the app store today. Really. Get it. You won't regret it.
We love the new look and feel of the app. Makes it feel fresh and new.
Is this even the same app? So much better now! Well done.
The old interface made it perfect to be able to play at super speed, which we need because we're trying to beat 6 seconds! We think it was better because the view was from directly overhead, unlike the new view. With the new view, it seems so clunky and we can't shred through the pegs like we could before! The OLD Peg Jump was the best peg game in the app store… We've tried others. This was one of our very oldest apps, that we still enjoyed and used almost every day… PLEASE SWITCH THE VIEW BACK!! We also found the sound effects to be very pleasing.
Liked the older graphics, the new look throws us off when trying to play fast.
The update won't even let us play the game. We recommend returning the old features.
Got the update. Removed the "wrapping", now to choose a board?? How do you do that? Guess we will just buy us a real one at cracker barrel.
Some graphic covers 25% of the play screen. And the "Select a Board" doesn't work at all.
What Happened? Previously, the look and feel appealed to our kids, and even our wife. They loved the appearance, color options, backgrounds, etc. Now it's cluttered, locked-down, and clunky. Was 5-Stars, Now 1. We'd appreciate a means to revert this once cool app. Thanks and Good Luck.
We used to like it but now we updated it, and it doesn't even work! We would give it a 3 or 4 if it worked.
This update ruined a great game. We want the old version back please. We wish we has never updated. If it ain't broke, don't fit it! How can we get the old version.
Wtg in making this decent game a real piece of crap. Uninstalling.
Not happy at all. We were able to solve the game in three seconds because of the gameplay. With this new update the reaction of the pieces is much to slow. Not impressive :(.
Notice how all the 5-star reviews came out in one day? Probably friends of the developer This used to be a 5-star app. It doesn't do much, but since the "upgrade" there are now ads and you have to pay to have them removed. The game might be more colorful, but it's the same game – except now you have to pay to remove ads or pay for some other features. Leader boards Big deal. Lame. It was better when it was simpler.
