"You and two friends are stuck in a building. The three of you want to move to the other room(s). Can you work together reaching your goal?"
That's the rather simple premise of Threesome as described by Lightforce, aka Nick Kouvaris, who ported Oskar van Deventer's small original puzzle game to Flash. Starting with a couple of easy levels, the game gets more and more challenging, but there is always a solution.
To find it, you move the symbolic protagonists around the rooms with the arrow keys, switching between them with the [CTRL] key—Mac users will find the Command key works better. If you walk on a colored symbol, for each relevant door, one half of the same color will open. If you let your three friends cooperate well, this will allow you to reach the exit room, leading you straight to the next level.
Threesome is a nice way to while away about half an hour, while looking at a pleasant composition and enjoying a challenge that is easily described but can be tricky to solve. If there's anything to complain about, it would be the small number of levels. Click.

It is perhaps worth pointing out that Threesome is based on an idea by Oskar van Deventer, always a guarantee of a clever and original puzzle. - John

Cute, though short. I found lvl 7 to be the most difficult one, though not as hard as to make me go insane. It really seems too short.

Amazing game... I love it :)

Excellent game, but very short. A level editor would have been nice, too, but I understand the exclusion of extra levels or an editor in the interest of preserving van Deventer's original concept.

I am stuck in lvl 4. It makes me feel dumb.
Posted by: mia | December 5, 2006 6:36 PM
oh sorry im stuck on 5 now
Posted by: mia | December 5, 2006 6:41 PM
Good stuff, I remember playing through this rather a while back. Just did it again - found level 7 to be the hardest. 8 was actually pretty straightforward, I thought - the regular layout made it easy to think through what needed to be done.
Posted by: Valarauka | December 5, 2006 8:17 PM
I can finish all but #4 !!! lol
Posted by: Tabitha | December 5, 2006 8:44 PM
very nice game, at first i thought "only 8 levels" but by the 6th i was thinking "8's a nice number."
i got up to lvl 7 but didnt attempt after that - save it for later.

Thomas, that's as good a link as I can find for Oskar, who doesn't appear to have a web site himself, nor even a Wikipedia article, but whose name pops up all over the place in puzzling circles. Andrea Gilbert has implemented many of his ideas on her wonderful http://www.clickmazes.com web site - John

Posted by: Daniel | December 6, 2006 4:58 AM
Nevermind.. I beat it in 200+ though...
Posted by: Daniel | December 6, 2006 5:01 AM
level 7 definitely was the hardest :)
Posted by: Tsuken | December 6, 2006 2:00 PM
Clever!

Here´s another version with nicer graphics: http://oos.moxiecode.com/examples/threesome/

I love these kinds of games. :) Simple, yet complicated. They weren't too hard after a bit of work, though. 8 levels makes a nice, short diversion.
Posted by: Simone Manganelli | December 7, 2006 3:23 AM
There is a longer (3 more levels) version over at http://clickmazes.com/indexo.htm
Posted by: Landon | December 7, 2006 6:51 PM
Okay, I must just be a total retard bc I can't figure any of this out.
Posted by: MedicGal | December 9, 2006 4:15 PM
Really? I'm the only person stuck on 6?
Although, I AM *Jacob*, so as soon as I post this, I'll get the answer on my own.

Wow, level 8 was easy! Stuck at level 7, but find the way later..cool game, I like it!
Tips for level 8 :
Posted by: dullpunk | December 16, 2006 4:42 AM
finish all levels at http://oos.moxiecode.com/examples/threesome/
level 10 was the hardest from my point of view. The human characters are cute, makes the game look more interresting.
Posted by: dullpunk | December 16, 2006 7:36 AM
