Walker

Hello from the World Puzzle Championship! I’m having trouble getting WiFi on my computer, so today’s puzzle was set on paper and transcribed on my phone! The walkthrough for Freddie’s Disorderly Loop will be coming in a few days.

Following the map arrows, we reach a quiet part of the city. Here, under the Supersized buildings, twenty-six tunnels of varying widths form a complex network of hidden paths; a perfect place for Usowan to hide. Usually, the tunnels are each numbered to form a Slalom walking tour, but right now, it looks like the numbered signs have been painted over. It must be another one of Usowan’s tricks…

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells, starting and ending at the circle. The loop may not enter blackened cells, and must pass straight through each gate exactly once. If a number N is pointing at a gate, it must be the Nth gate visited from the circle. The number in the circle simply states the number of gates.
