A free emoji puzzle game with a story to tell

Emoji Trail is an emoji word puzzle game you can play in your browser. Read the pictures, follow the scenes, and arrange words from a shuffled word bank to tell the mini-story. The clues tell you who is there, what happens, and how one event leads to another.

Start with a three-scene introduction: Hagrid’s cake, Hulk’s tacos and Luke’s twin suns. Then explore Harry Potter, Marvel, Star Wars, Ocean and Space: 76 stories across five worlds, plus 12 bonus Legendary challenges. These are unofficial fan collections alongside original Ocean and Space stories. Four difficulty levels build from short scenes to longer stories with causes, contrasts and twists.

Take your time: there is no timer, and help is available when you get stuck. Progress saves in the browser you use, so you can return to the same device and continue your trail.

New to picture stories? The clue guide below walks through an original Ocean puzzle, explains the word bag and shows the connector key. You can also read about the game, send feedback or check what is saved and measured.
