The Chronicle
The campaign. Story beats before and after every mission, puzzles that belong to the scene they sit in, and a timeline you can replay for stars.
READ THE PAST BEFORE IT READS YOU
A story-led puzzle game set in real history. Begin in Mauryan India as a new agent inside Kautilya's intelligence network, and solve your way through a court that trusts nobody.

The first Chronicle
Shadows of the Arthashastra
Fifty missions across five arcs. Decode secret orders, trace guarded routes, reconstruct what happened in a room you were not in, and work out who can be trusted while Chandragupta's world changes around you. Every arc ends on a hook, because that is how a spy story works.
The history is researched and the fiction is labelled. Missions carry the real method behind them — how a cipher worked, how a courier was followed — so the story teaches you something you can use on the next board.

Four rooms, one game
The Daily Five
One short round each for focus, memory, reasoning, language and spatial thinking. Finish the set and an optional two-minute breathing reset is offered — never scored, never required.
Crush Your Brain
Twenty-three puzzle families across eleven arenas, generated fresh every time. Pick a difficulty, take a board, and climb the Hard ladder one proven solve at a time.
Cipher Academy
Forty-one lessons on how real ciphers work — Caesar, Vigenère, substitution, rail fence and more. Learn the idea, try it on a practice board, then take it back into the story.
The Museum
What you recover, you keep
Six hundred and ten researched artifacts across seven regions and one hundred and seventy-two civilization packs. Follow artifact clues out of your daily drills and first clears, arrange your display cases, and visit what other players have recovered.
Every record carries its real provenance and its licence. Where a piece is a reconstruction, the Museum says so on the placard.
