iPhone
A new grid every day at midnight. Twelve of the thirty belong. Tap them one at a time, watch the pot climb, and decide when to stop.
One grid. Thirty tiles. Twelve of them belong.
Tap a tile you think fits the category and the pot grows. Tap another and it grows faster. Keep going and it climbs into the thousands. Tap one wrong tile and you lose everything you built.
So when do you stop?
That is the whole game. There is no luck to beat and no timer to race. You are told the category, you are told exactly how many belong, and you are shown the odds on every single tap. The only thing between you and a bigger pot is nerve.
EVERYONE GETS THE SAME GRID
One puzzle a day, the same one for everybody, from midnight. Compare where you stopped against your friends or against everyone who played. Being beaten by someone who went one tap deeper is a very specific kind of annoying.
BANK IT, OR PUSH ON
Stop at four and you will keep a modest pile, reliably, every time. Push to eleven and you will occasionally walk away with a fortune. Most players find out where their nerve runs out somewhere around day three.
BUILD A CHARACTER
Coins you bank buy hats, faces, outfits, backdrops and auras, all drawn in one hand-made cartoon style. The longer you play, the rarer and stranger your character gets. The best pieces move, and take weeks of daily banking to afford. Nothing in the shop is random. You always know exactly what you are saving for.
KEEP A STREAK
Play every day and your winnings multiply. Miss a day and the streak is gone, unless you had the foresight to keep a streak freeze in your pocket.
