Route to the end airport, clear three challenges, spend little.
Layover hands you a start airport and a required end airport. You build the route in between, choosing a destination and a flight for each leg and chaining them together until you arrive. Along the way you try to clear the day's three challenges while keeping your spend and your flying time down.
Layover is a daily routing game. You build a multi-stop flight itinerary, hopping airport to airport until you reach the day's required end airport. The route that clears the daily challenges while spending less money and less time scores highest.
Sixty points come from challenges — 20 for each of the three you pass. Up to 20 more come from budget, scaling with how little you spend, and up to 20 from time, scaling with how fast you fly. The two resource scores are linear, not pass/fail.
Each puzzle draws three challenges from themes like geography, airlines, aircraft, timing, airports, and distance. Passing one is worth 20 points, so clearing all three is the 60-point core of a strong score.
Budget scores (1 − spent ÷ budget) × 20, so spending nothing earns the full 20 and using the entire budget earns 0. Time works the same way against a time cap — faster routes keep more of the 20 points.
