Puzzle Path is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a COURSE level and was first introduced in Season 3. It was first revealed in a blog on 21 November 2022.[1]
Course description[]
This course is a race that consists of several isolated chambers accessible only via several Wormholes. The goal is to follow the correct path to find the correct wormhole in each chamber and then get to the finish line. There are a total of six chambers: The starting area, four maze chambers and the finish line. The starting area contains a slime slide followed by the first line puzzle with wormholes. The second chamber is always the same and contains no obstacles, only wormholes (although the correct path is still random) the next three chambers will appear in random order: they will contain boulders, a Rotating Beam or a giant Turnstile. The final chamber has a simple slime slide to the finish line.
Course strategy[]
There are two tips to successfully clear this course: 1- Always follow the only line that leads out from the very center of each chamber (or on the first line in case of the starting area, all denoted by a star) and 2- Never take a turn at a junction unless it is the only available option, meaning you always go straight at them no matter what.
Follow the path starting from the star in the middle of each chamber.
Remember that you don't actually have to walk along the correct path. Just use your eyes to quickly see where the path goes before taking the correct wormhole.
When you reach a junction, keep going straight.
As for the specific chamber obstacles it is only a matter of avoiding the rotating beam and moving the boulders/turnstile around, should they obstruct the path so you can more clearly see. Always dive upon entering a wormhole, as you'll always land on a slime slide and could use the extra speed.
Though this strategy is in essence 'cheating', if you can identify any players that are quickly finding the correct path, you could try to copy them instead of looking for the path. Be careful of them tricking you or heading down the wrong wormhole if you use this strategy however.
If you ever take a wrong wormhole, you can jump out of the chamber to respawn at the checkpoint above the slide leading to the furthest chamber that you've gotten to.
Known bugs[]
Bugged Wormholes*
- As of the Survival Update: On the Nintendo Switch, the wormholes in this round became seriously bugged. They would end up sending players out the same one with a chance of them getting glitched inside them for a few seconds. This made the level impossible to beat.
- This is likely what caused it to be removed from Solos and Duos on 12 March 2024 (it had never been in Squads since its unvault).
-
- This bug got fixed as of the July '24 Update, so now it and Hoop Chute can return to the roundpool.
*This name is a conjectural name and has not been somewhat uniformly agreed upon.

Trivia[]
- Ever since getting unvaulted in the Fall Force Update, Puzzle Path is strangely missing from Squads, despite being in Duos and despite being in Squads before. This is most likely an error. This also happens with
Fruit Chute.
- For this reason, Puzzle Path and Fruit Chute are currently the only rounds that are available in Duos but not in Squads, which is strange, as those shows share nearly the exact same round pool.
- Fruit Chute got re-added to Squads in the July '24 Update, so Puzzle Path has a good chance of returning to it as well, if it may ever return.
- Tip Toe Finale was also present in Duos but not Squads for a short time, between a few days after the Fall Force Update and the release of the Tool Up Update, which brought it back to Squads.
- For this reason, Puzzle Path and Fruit Chute are currently the only rounds that are available in Duos but not in Squads, which is strange, as those shows share nearly the exact same round pool.
- A bug in Puzzle Path as of the Power Party Update causes the player to fumble around way more often than usual after diving on the Slime Slides. This mainly occurs on the ones placed after exiting from a Wormhole.
- This has potentially been fixed when the physics change came in the Fall Forever Update, but it hasn't veen unvaulted so it's unsure if it's been fixed.
