Cipherwake: Signal Hunt
Tune in to hidden carriers
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Also Included In
Cipherwake is a short tuning puzzle. A spectrum display shows 96 bars of radio noise between 3.50 and 4.00 MHz, with three pink carrier signals hidden among them. Tap the spectrum to move the tuning dial and capture each carrier.
HOW IT PLAYS
- Tap anywhere on the spectrum to move the white tuning dial there. The readout shows the dial's frequency.
- When the dial lands on one of the pink carrier bars, the carrier is captured and grows taller.
- Each capture raises your chain multiplier and your score. Misses never cost a life.
- Capture all three carriers to finish the trial.
CAMPAIGN
- 60 trials on a campaign map that keeps your stars and best scores on your device.
- The carriers sit at the same three frequencies in every trial; the noise and the carriers' heights change. The campaign is about quick, clean runs and higher scores.
DAILY AND LAB
- Daily: each date selects one campaign trial for everyone, worked out on your device without an account or server.
- Spectrum Bench: a small practice panel with two sliders and an interference switch that shows how signal isolation and bearing convergence change an intercept-confidence score.
ALSO INCLUDED
- An illustrated Fieldbook with reference plates for the rules and scoring.
- Five on-device achievements and a player records page.
- Haptic feedback and high-contrast Lab settings.
- Works offline on iPhone and iPad.
- No ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, accounts, analytics or tracking.
Cipherwake is a casual puzzle game. It does not use a radio and does not decode real signals.
Ratings & Reviews

Every trial can now be completed. Carriers are easier to capture, the frequency readout stays on screen on iPhone, and the in-game text now describes the game accurately.
