Play detour online with your friends.
Detour is one of the strategy board games on Pilimo, the multiplayer social gaming platform. Race your pawn to the far side while dropping walls to send everyone else the long way round — 2 to 4 players, live and in realtime, with friends or players nearby.

Race across. Wall them off.
On your turn you either step your pawn one square or place a wall. The first pawn to reach the far side wins — but the walls in the way are up to everyone else.
A duel or a four-way scramble.
Pick a mode and jump in: a two-player duel across a 9×9 board, or a bigger race with three or four players on a wider grid. Move toward your goal row, or spend one of your walls to force a rival to detour — you can never wall someone in completely. A 30-second shot-clock keeps every turn moving, and the first pawn to step onto its goal row ends the match on the spot.
- 2, 3 or 4 players — duel, or a wider three/four-way race
- Move your pawn or drop a wall each turn
- A path always stays open — no total blockades
- 30-second per-move clock so games never drag
Better with people you know.
Detour is at its best as a four-way scramble with friends. Pilimo is the multiplayer social gaming platform that gets everyone to the same board in seconds.
