How to play

  1. Your teal scout starts in a safe patch. Choose a direction to start moving; the CPU scouts wait until you move. Arena mode has three computer opponents, not online human players.
  2. Leave your colour to draw an exposed trail. Turn around an area and reconnect to your existing territory: the trail and enclosed tiles become yours. Small loops keep the trail exposed for less time.
  3. Swipe anywhere in the arena, use the direction buttons or press arrows/W/A/S/D. A turn takes effect at the next tile centre. A direct U-turn into your own trail is ignored; returning straight to adjacent home is allowed when clear.
  4. Crossing your own exposed trail or leaving the arena ends your run. If a CPU enters your trail, you are eliminated. Enter an exposed CPU trail to eliminate that scout and reopen its territory.
  5. Your own territory protects you from head collisions. Scouts meeting outside their safe areas can eliminate each other. Losing every owned tile also eliminates a scout. Simultaneous trail cuts are resolved together.
  6. In the arena, capture at least 65% or be the last scout alive. A CPU reaching 65% wins instead. There is no forced countdown. Solo practice finishes when a completed loop takes your area to at least 25%.
  7. Rookie, Club and Expert set movement speed and CPU reaction time. All scouts share the selected movement speed. CPU decisions use current visible positions, headings and trails; difficulty stays fixed throughout a round.
  8. Points reward peak area gained beyond the starting patch, plus 250 per CPU trail cut and 1000 for a win or completed practice. Best scores stay separate for practice and each arena level. Your CPU level and bests save on this browser when available; a live arena restarts if you leave.
  9. The fixed 3D view has a 2D compatibility view when WebGL is unavailable. The existing sound control lets you mute effects. There are no online human opponents or public leaderboard. No account or download is needed.

About Territory Capture

Teal and ivory roller scout closing a paint loop on navy ceramic tiles beside amber and lavender rivals

Play Territory Capture, a free area capture game online. Close loops to claim land, protect your trail and challenge CPU rivals or practise solo.

Guide a teal paint scout through an original territory-control arena. Leave your safe zone, close a loop to claim its tiles and protect your exposed trail. Challenge three clearly labelled CPU scouts or learn a clean capture in solo practice.

Territory Capture runs right in your browser on desktop, tablet and phone. There is nothing to download or install, and you don't need an account: press play and start.

Territory Capture tips and strategy

  • Close a short loop before trying to claim a large area. The longer you remain outside your territory, the more exposed trail a rival can cut.
  • Watch nearby CPU paths before leaving your border. Expanding away from immediate danger gives you more time to reconnect safely; practice is a useful place to learn loop control.
