Step into the Parlor - a candlelit house of games where nineteen rivals with real voices, real tempers, and very real opinions are waiting to play you.
FOUR GAMES, ONE HOUSE
- Chess: a full engine with openings, hints, take-backs, and a coach that flags your worst moment after every game
- Go: 9x9 to 19x19, Capture Go for beginners, territory scoring for veterans
- Conquest: world-domination strategy on a real-world map, up to 8 players, secret objectives, capitals mode, dice, cards, and bounties
- GeoQuest: guess where in the world a photo was taken - real places, real geography, escalating clues
A CAST YOU CAN HEAR
Every rival speaks with an individual studio voice - from Pip the apprentice to Viktor the grandmaster, plus legends of history: Napoleon, Cleopatra, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Ada Lovelace, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Miyamoto Musashi, Alan Turing and more. Earn them by winning; their tactics match their character.
A MYSTERY IN THE WALLS
Someone did something terrible in this house. Every game you finish uncovers a clue. Cross suspects off in your casebook and name the culprit - then deal a fresh case and do it again. Every case is newly generated.
PASS THE PHONE
Every game supports local multiplayer on one device - including mixed Conquest tables where human players and AI rivals fight over the same map.
CLIMB, GAUNTLET, DAILY
- The Climb: a ladder of every rival in the house, weakest to strongest
- The Gauntlet: a roguelike tournament run with charms, coins, and a boss
- Daily Challenge: one sharp chess puzzle every day, streaks kept
MADE FOR THE TABLE
- Fully offline - no account, no ads, no tracking, nothing collected
- Original hand-crafted art: sculpted piece sets, painted rooms, real maps
- Premium unlocks themed rooms, sculpted piece sets, and the locked legends
The tables are set. The candles are lit. Take your seat.

CASTLE — a whole new game for Premium: siege warfare across seven real-world theaters, eight action cards, castellan defenses, turncoats and desertion, with a war report for every campaign. Plus a fully voiced cast — every character now speaks in their own voice, including a certain outrageously French emperor and a very robotic machine. The Casebook mystery is a real deduction game now, with tractable cases and prime-suspect tracking. And hundreds of new lines, jokes, and famous quotes throughout, Go hints and coaching, new chess piece sets, and a parlor's worth of polish.
