Place tokens to guide the mice to push blocks and get to their mouse holes.
Lab Rat-ional Thinking is a grid-based setup-and-play game about directing mice to their holes. Using the in-game cursor, you'll place tokens on the grid that will instruct the mice to rotate, turn back on themselves, and other instructions revealed throughout the game. After placing everything, press the play button to set everything in motion and watch as the mice (hopefully) make their way to their destination.
You may notice that another game, Flying Crowbar Factory Simulator 2022, has the same first level and similar mechanics. That is because both of these games were created as part of the same collaborative project, starting from the same "seed". Each game diverged from the seed as different puzzle designers contributed to them.
