Geared is an iPhone/ iPod / iPad 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.
Geared Levels 1-16 Geared Lite v1.3 (FREE Version) Screen Shots and explanations.
Geared Levels 1-20 (Easy) Screen Shots

Geared Levels 81-120 (Challenging) Screen Shots
Is there anyone playing this game now?

Posted by Andy | August 22, 2012, 8:11 AMFinally got it! Many tries! Takes patience and lots of itty bitty nudges. Thx
Posted by pyramid2 | July 21, 2012, 7:49 PMGood Work! Glad to help!
Posted by Mike | July 22, 2012, 12:06 AMSame here! I cannot get the gears to fit the distance! Have the technique to get them in general position but too much space between each blue gear. Please post suggestions!
Posted by pyramid2 | July 20, 2012, 7:29 PMThis comment is for level 161
Posted by pyramid2 | July 20, 2012, 7:30 PMI’ve posted a step by step solution for you. Hope it helps. You have to “creep” the gears into place and it may take a few tries.
Posted by Mike | July 21, 2012, 2:53 PMwhere did you post the solution?
Posted by pyramid2 | July 21, 2012, 3:39 PMSorry, it’s live now. Just reload the solution for 161. It has 5 slides to show the progress. Let me know if I can help you further.
Posted by Mike | July 21, 2012, 3:44 PMHelp!!! A week ago I did an update on geared and after that I haven’t been able to open game. It kicks me out every time. Any suggestions ???
Posted by Deegport | June 29, 2012, 3:16 PMHelp!! I need a Walk-through for level 161. I have seen screen shots of the solution, but cannot get the gears to line up as shown. Please help!

Posted by MB | April 14, 2011, 11:04 PMSmall gear to lower right first make sure all small non moving gears drop but not frozen big gear on top middle
Posted by L.Lee | April 22, 2011, 6:25 PMHelp Level 124!
Posted by Cata | January 31, 2011, 3:18 PMI’ve figured it out at long last! Some of these are bizarre…
Posted by greg | January 15, 2011, 2:59 PMI can’t do Level 43. There is a red shaded box on my version that prevents placing the small cogs at the bottom up to engage with the large one. How come thee is no red box in your screen shots?
Posted by greg | January 15, 2011, 2:28 PMis there a version of geared for personal computer? can i have a link?
Posted by uriel | December 28, 2010, 11:21 PMGot solutions from 92-119 screen shoots, how do I post ’em
Posted by Jesus | December 17, 2010, 1:49 AMAny solutions to 120… Want to squash someone!!!!
Posted by Jesus | December 17, 2010, 1:33 AMOn level 78, i might be blind but my version only has 2 little gears and cant beat it but from 59-77 was awesome. This website helped so much and your da boss!
Posted by Brett | December 13, 2010, 5:01 PMHi there, do you have the solutions for 81-150?
They are quite difficult, I solve some of them only.
Cheers~
Posted by Nelson | December 5, 2010, 5:54 AMHere’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!
Posted by Mike | March 29, 2010, 6:21 PMCan anyone help with level 122.Thanks
Posted by Craig | March 29, 2010, 1:55 AMOMG 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 AMHey, any hints on 120 gratefully accepted. cheers.
Posted by Brian | February 10, 2010, 6:51 AMOK, I’ll post the solutions to lite 3.1 this week. Thanks for letting me know.
Posted by Mike | February 8, 2010, 3:17 AMthe 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 PMI have the geared lite version 1.3 and am looking for the solutions however the solutions on your site dont seem to matc up to the ones on my ipod?
Posted by J P | January 24, 2010, 8:12 AMMy 56 is different than yours. The moving piece on the right for me is twice the size of yours. And that is where I need to drop a gear. HELP!!!
btw, Great site!!

Posted by Bob | December 10, 2009, 6:27 AMSolved all except on level 115
could use some help
Posted by Mark | November 22, 2009, 9:27 PMThe tricky part is dropping the first smallest gear into position and have it connect to the bottom most blue gear on the right. Once you do that the rest “falls” into place. I just tried it again and it took about five tries. If you need more help – just ask.
Posted by Mike | November 23, 2009, 5:01 PMBro kick ass and thanks alot
Posted by Mark | November 29, 2009, 9:22 PMlevel 76’s solution has not worked it might b bc of the update well if any1 can help plz reply
Posted by Jon2009 | November 6, 2009, 2:23 AMI 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 PMHe’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 AMI 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.
Posted by Jay | October 25, 2009, 4:20 AMInterested 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.
Posted by jacob | September 20, 2009, 12:21 AMI 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 AMHI 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 PMLevel 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 PMHe’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.
Posted by Elvis812 | April 7, 2010, 4:46 PMAfter 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.
Posted by Mike | April 8, 2010, 1:25 AMDude this site saved my sanity – thanks
Posted by Coolcat1990 | September 11, 2009, 1:48 AMTy i finish the game in 1h and 35 min ^^
Posted by Vincent | September 5, 2009, 10:53 PMGreat job Vincent!
Posted by Mike | September 6, 2009, 1:08 PMI 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 AMHi 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.
Posted by Mike | September 4, 2009, 2:10 PMLevel 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 PMHi 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.
Posted by Mike | September 2, 2009, 10:04 PMI’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
Posted by Chris | September 1, 2009, 8:03 PMI 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.
Posted by Mike | September 2, 2009, 3:12 AMyour solution for lev 54 is incorrect – that does not work.
Posted by ian | September 1, 2009, 3:45 PMYou’re right! I posted the wrong screenshot. Thank you for your diligence and acute observation.
I have re-checked the others and they’re all correct.
Posted by Mike | September 1, 2009, 5:31 PMI couldn’t get the gears to fit for your solution to level 80 so I’ve found a different solution.
Posted by Annick | September 16, 2009, 12:50 PMThere is a solution by placing the gear in the middle, but Bryan mentioned that it was taking advantage of a bug and that solution will become invalid after an update is released. I’d still like to see you solution if you want to post it.
Posted by Mike | September 16, 2009, 7:30 PMWOW…. This is the best game I ever played and now I have the solutions!
Posted by Francis | August 31, 2009, 9:49 PMThanks Francis. It is a great game.
Posted by Mike | September 1, 2009, 5:32 PMGreat solutions, really helped me out. Thank you.
