The Puzzles
Twenty ready, more being inked.
Lock Combination
Three concentric rings carved with sigils. Rotate them to align the runes. The classic dungeon door.
Rune Matching
Stone tiles laid face-down. Find every pair before your luck runs out. Memory and patience.
Cipher Decoder
A scroll in a runic alphabet. Crack the substitution — frequency, guesswork, and a steady hand.
Bells of the Temple
Strike the bells in the order the spirits sounded them. The melody grows. So does the cost of a misstep.
Mirror Maze
Tilt mirrors to bend a moonbeam toward a sleeping crystal. Geometry against the dark.
Alchemy Mixing
Combine reagents by colour and reaction to brew the requested elixir. One wrong drop spoils the flask.
Liar's Oracle
Three statues, three doors, three statements. One always lies. One always tells the truth. Choose wisely.
Weighted Scales
A merchant's balance. One stone weighs differently. Find it through clever weighings.
Constellation
Connect the right stars to redraw the forgotten god across the night sky.
Blood Ritual
Each glyph demands its measure of blood. Spend exactly the right total — overshoot and die.
Pressure Plates
A trapped floor. Step on the safe plates in the right order. One wrong step resets the run.
Water Divination
Three jugs, one target volume. Pour, fill, empty — the classic measure-the-unmeasurable.
Tile Flood
A floor that drinks colour. Flood the corner outward until every tile is one hue.
Trap Disarming
A bundle of strands and a riddle. Read the clue, snip the right wires, don't trigger the trap.
Spell Slots
The barrier wants exact mana. Cast the right combination — no over- or underspending.
Sigil Tracing
Trace every line of the rune in one stroke. If you box yourself in, the sigil refuses you.
Pipe Organ
Brass pipes lie scattered. Rotate them to channel breath from source to organ crystal.
Lock Picking
Five pins, sliders sweeping. Click each at the right moment. A steady hand and a quick eye.
Tomb Inscriptions
Three sarcophagi. Three contradictory epitaphs. One holds the artifact. Two hold worse.
Dragon's Hoard
A multi-stage dungeon trial. Premium content for Patreon supporters — a season of puzzles in one.
Ghost Echo
Watch a haunted sequence. Repeat it back without flinching.
Wanted Poster
Match witness descriptions to the right culprit in the lineup.
