Paper Train is a puzzle-arcade game developed by Istom Games Kft., released in 2011 and available on web browser, Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. Players manage several trains simultaneously across a shared rail network, directing traffic to prevent collisions while keeping schedules on track. The core challenge lies in coordinating multiple moving trains at once — timing and route management become increasingly demanding as the network grows more complex. The paper-themed visual style frames what is fundamentally a traffic-control puzzle, where a single mistimed decision can lead to a crash or costly delay. The game blends the methodical thinking of puzzle design with the real-time pressure of arcade play, rewarding players who can maintain order across a busy, ever-more-complicated system of intersecting lines.
