Geared is an iPhone/iPod Touch game/puzzle app that will provide hours of entertainment. The objective is to use various sized gears to turn fixed blue gears from a fixed yellow powered gear. On some levels you can’t just place a gear but must instead drop the gear from a free zone into a no-drop zone. Other times you must carefully and patiently place the gear into position. A hint is to slowly move the gear around until it turns green whereas it can then be placed.

Because of some frustration and claims of unsolvable levels we took screen shots of solutions for every level. We understand that sometimes it nice just to know what to expect from some of these tricky levels.

Next week we will publish our interview with Bryan Mitchell, the developer of Geared, and share with you some other games and diversions he is currently working on.

  4. I’m on level 3 and I have unrelentlessly to get it to work and it won’t. I match up mine to yours and my second big gear never will match up to the correct position. Help

    • I can help you with that Chris. I’ve posted an alternate solution for that level. Place the first large gear on the bottom left side and get it turning. Then move the slider so you can place the second large gear on top of the first. Move the slider back and place the last gear. The gear will change from red to green when it can be placed.

      Thanks for you comment and I hope this helps.

  5. Level 77 is driving me nuts, I quickly figured out how to solve it but getting the smaller of the gears to ” fall” into place is just not happening, any tips? Or is it just a case of stickin at it until it slots in. I can get it to attach to both blue cogs individually but not simultaneously

    Posted by PEARSE | September 2, 2009, 3:38 pm
    • Hi Pearse. Level 77 is tricky because of the pixel perfect placement required for the second large gear on the right.

      If you have a problem placing that last gear keep moving the second gear a little left or right until the final gear meshes. It does take several tries dropping that final gear.

      Hope this solves your problem.

  6. I have a problem with level 59 I had reached the correct solution but the final gear will not mesh.

    Posted by Rory bergin | September 4, 2009, 12:38 am
    • Hi Rory. This is a tricky level and the best way to solve it is to first place the bottom three gears and get them moving.
      The first of the top small gears must be dropped and placed as high as possible on the big blue gear. The final small gear must then be dropped into place and mesh to get the top blue gear moving. It will take several drops to get it. Hope this helps.

  10. I have spent hours on Level 76, I can get the big gear in place but cannot get the first little gear to attach to the right side of it. I’m ready to give up but want to play the last levels! Help!!!!!

    Posted by Scott | September 16, 2009, 4:39 am
    • HI Scott! First place the large gear. Then move the slider which moves the no-drop zone up and to the right. This is when you can place the small gear next to the big gear on the right. You then have to move the slider back to place the other two smaller gears. Hope this helps.

      Posted by Mike | September 16, 2009, 7:27 pm
      • Level 76 will never be solved on my iPod. For some reason the bottom Blue gear is in the red no drop zone. Your solution has the bottom in the slider. This may be a bug

        Posted by Joe | December 11, 2009, 8:38 pm
        • He’s right…it’s the same way on my iPhone. The Blue gear is higher on mine too. On your screenshot you can clearly see the upper right corner of the red zone. On mine that corner is covered by the Blue Gear indicating that the Blue Gear is higher, almost one small gear higher, making it impossible to solve.

        • After downloading the new version I see what you mean. I did it by first moving the slider to the left and then placing the gears as shown. I got the first two gears moving and then finished with the last two. Let me know if this helps. Thanks for the info.

  11. Interested in alternate solutions? I found solutions that range from slightly alternate to radically different on many of your harder levels. Might help some of the users who are stuck with those minute placements! I tried emailing you directly but your Mailto is blank. Cheers.

  12. I tried using the solution shown for level 76, but the top small gear seems too far from the blue gear. When I compare the screenshot to my level 76, it looks like my blue gear is actually higher than the one in the screenshot (making mine seemingly unsolvable). Any advice on why this would be or how I can solve his level?

    Posted by Nick | October 20, 2009, 5:58 pm
    • He’s conpletly right. It seems that with the latest update to geared they have moved the blue gear up by at least a small gears worth so matter how much you try it seems (from my 2 hours of wasted time) unable to be solved. -fail.

      Posted by Sheldon | October 22, 2009, 6:30 am
      • I finished this level in about 15 minutes. You have to attach a small gear to the yellow gear and then the big gear, then between the big gear and the blue gear are two small gears.

  15. When taking solution screenshots, hide the popup window by tapping outside it. A second tap brings it back.

    Posted by J P | January 24, 2010, 8:12 am
  20. the geared lite 3.1 has completely diffrent levels than the ones listed on the site. its nearly impossible to find solutions for any of the lite 3.1

    Posted by jamesdusoleil | February 5, 2010, 11:08 pm
  21. OK, I’ll post the solutions to lite 3.1 this week. Thanks for letting me know.

    Posted by Mike | February 8, 2010, 3:17 am
  22. Hey, any hints on 120 gratefully accepted. cheers.

    Posted by Brian | February 10, 2010, 6:51 am
  23. OMG I was stuck on 80 forever, even skipped ahead and completed 1/2 of the remaining ones. I had the concept just coulbn’t get the spacing down. The diagram above was perfect. Thanks

    Posted by DJ | February 24, 2010, 9:34 am
  24. Can anyone help with level 122.Thanks

    Posted by Craig | March 29, 2010, 1:55 am
  25. Here’s my solution. Placement is very important and using the grid lines helps a lot. I remember it took me awhile to get the gears to set just right. Good Luck!
