Covenant Chess is a calm chess-puzzle game where every world is a story from the Bible.
Each puzzle is set on a small, hand-shaped board: find the checkmate in one, two, three or more moves, and the story moves on. Walk with Noah into the ark, cross the Red Sea with Moses, march around the walls of Jericho, face the giant with David, and wait for the vision with the prophets.
TEN STORY WORLDS
Creation, Noah's Ark, the Exodus, Jericho, Gideon's 300, David and Goliath, the Wisdom of Solomon, Esther, Daniel in the lions' den, and the Prophets. Each world opens with a short illustrated story, and every level carries a line of it.
367 PUZZLES, EASY TO HARD
Start by learning how each piece moves, then climb from mate in 1 to mate in 5. Every mate puzzle is checked by computer: there is always a forced checkmate, and any winning move counts.
A GUIDE AT YOUR SIDE
Noah's dove shows you how to play on the first levels, cheers you on when you find the right path, and gives you a nudge when you're stuck. Out of ideas? Light the lamp for a hint.
A VERSE FOR EVERY VICTORY
Win a puzzle and read a verse from the story you're in, from the World English Bible.
A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
Come back each day for the Daily Puzzle and keep your streak going.
GROW FROM SHEPHERD TO KING
Earn up to three crowns per puzzle and rise through seven titles: Shepherd, Scout, Scribe, Elder, Judge, Prophet and King.
MADE FOR EVERYONE
No account, no timers, no pressure. Your progress stays on your phone and in your iCloud. Learn the pieces with the Piece Guide, and play at your own pace.
Covenant Chess is free to play with a few ads between levels. One purchase removes them for good. Lamp oil for hints is earned in play, a few drops at a time from a short ad you choose to watch, or in packs from the shop.
Puzzles adapted from the Lichess puzzle database (CC0). Bible verses from the World English Bible (public domain).
