## What is Leela?

About the game.

The game's history goes back 1,500 to 2,000 years B.P.
Our research into the history of the game suggests that the game, in many ways similar to our version of Snakes and Ladders, has been around for many centuries and is probably the oldest known game of its kind. The game has many titles Leela, Gyan Chauper, Snakes, and Ladders, these are just the most famous. There are even more variations in the rules and interpretations of the game.

We strive to preserve the wonder of the ancient game and use a scientific approach and methods of psychology.
This ancient game, like all spiritual practices of the past, had religious undertones. We attempt to weed the game of its religious language and specific Hindu names, keeping its human values. The result is a wonderful mental practice that helps humans make sense of themselves.

We would like you to understand that we regard religious knowledge and values as the age-old wisdom of mankind, legends, which from different sides of the world have absorbed, collected over the centuries from all over the world knowledge and wisdom of all generations of humanity. Faith itself is a healing miracle, but the various mental practices intuitively assembled by different cultures are very similar to one another. Prayer and meditation. Precepts and ways of thinking in Eastern philosophy.

The mechanics of the game and our conception of how the game can help humans.
Our passion is to create useful, convenient, and effective applications that carry the wisdom of humankind to the users of the Internet. It seems to us that modern man is suffocating in the absence of such important practices for our consciousness. We are immersed in social networks and devices, we are surrounded by information, but not knowledge, and as a result, we are depressed and do not find even a minute for our thoughts and desires. Since humanity is once and for all immersed in the digital age, we want to allow humanity to notice this important part of itself in this digital space as well.

The game itself is very simple.
There is a field of 68 to 124 cells in different versions. Some ladders or arrows and snakes move the player up or down the field. Interestingly, each cell usually has a meaning and the player has usually described that meaning or instruction. For example, in the famous English version of Snakes and Ladders, the ideas of Hindu philosophy have been replaced by the publisher with the Puritan values of Victorian England.

Our version of the game has 72 cells.
The game starts at 68 squares and ends there. It usually takes about 30-50 moves to complete the game. To initiate the game, the player is required to ask his or her question, formulate his or her problem or key objective. We insist that this step is crucial. The very work of the player to formulate his query is a valuable psychological practice in itself.

Each field gives the player additional clues during the game, all of them containing as their meanings essential universal human concepts and values. A person, receiving these clues from the game, can more accurately formulate his life purpose, see the ways leading to realization, the traps, and dangers of his life.

A little about the wonder of faith and the mysticism of the game.
Even without the player's belief in the game's ability to perform miracles, the game does them, as we have noted, in a very non-mystical way. But everyone who has tried this game inevitably becomes fascinated with the idea of the game's miracle, its ability to change his inner universe, and thus the universe outside.

### 1/5 — This is not a game, I don’t know what it is

*2026-04-19*

I asked my question, I rolled a six and nothing, just sitting there. The symbol never moved. I read the how to play so many times and restarted it but never got a six. What is the point of this?

### 5/5 — Лила прекрасна

*2026-03-20*

Хорошая игра, с интересным описанием клеток и ступеней развития

### 5/5 — Увлекательно с первой минуты!

*2026-01-20, version 2.2.0*

Играла в Лила и раньше, но с Проводником. Думала, что человек, который ведёт игру очень важен. Но оказалось у игры есть своя энергия. Он лайн тоже прекрасный вариант. Спасибо!

### 1/5 — Зависло намертво

*2025-11-24*

Выкинула наконец 6, открылось поле, игра вроде началась, но на этом всё. 
Фишка стоит на месте, сколько кубик не крути. Кубик то активный, то неактивный, но фишка всё равно не двигается. 
Может высшие силы говорят, не связываться с такой ерундой 😂

### 5/5 — Очень хорошо!

*2025-09-23*

Мне очень нравится такой формат игры, и причём в данном случае получается, что именно бесплатная версия - самая чёткая:) потому что ожидая 14 часов, чтобы сделать следующие ходы, у нас есть время подумать, понаблюдать… это очень важно для глубокого прохождения игры.
Спасибо большое разработчикам!
Описания и названия клеток даны упрощённо, и это тоже хорошо, а каждый игрок может в соответствии со своими потребностями поискать другие дополнительные трактовки, чтобы углубить свое понимание.

Я за эти 20 дней сыграла уже 4 игры, и каждая удивительно точно и ясно давала ответы…

Единственное, вопрос!!! Вы точно не закладывает сценарии для кубика?? Почему я так быстро заканчиваю игру?)

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую

*2025-08-03, version 2.2.0*

Отменила подписку но деньги пытаются снять все равно. Сайт поддержки недоступен

### 5/5 — Глибоко вирішила 3 свої запити! Гра полегшила мені життя 🙂🌍✨

*2025-07-17, version 2.2.0*

Гра дійсно працює. Був момент, коли я не зрозуміла як запустити гру і користувалась справжнім кубиком. І я була в шоці від того, що і кубик, і потім у грі все запустилось тільки після мого одного і того ж припущення-запиту! Для мене це було підтвердження, що я працюю з Полем, а не тільки з алгоритмами та моєю уявою. 
Гра захопила і дуже сподобалась. 
Я провела 3 рази на різні запити і усе правильно розмістилось всередині мене! 
Я надзвичайно вдячна! Дякую за задумку і розробникам!!! Зараз відчуваю вивільнення енергії, натхнення, спокій і розуміння як думати і діяти далі. 
Ps. Можливо є сенс доповнити картки більш розгорнутим тлумаченням. Але зробити це як додатковий рівень. Бо коли мене по колу водили по одним і тим же клітинкам, а там - декілька фраз, то у мене вмикався ступор і ніяких ідей не виникало. Було відчуття знущання трохи)) Та розібралась. Вмикався власний аналіз, що теж було корисно. Та і опір був, визнаю. 
Гра чітка і зрозуміла. Дякую! Ви молодці 🫶🌍 Бажаю вам розвитку, натхнення і крутих досягнень!!!

### 2/5 — Сломалась что ли?

*2025-07-15*

Попробовала поиграть, но после входа в игру мой символ не перемещается по полю. Я не поняла, как его передвигать! Кубик кидается, символ не переместить.

### 1/5 — Обман!

*2025-06-18*

Мухлеж. Встроенный алгоритм выбрасывает ложные цифры.
При первом ходе в игру выбросил шестёрку. Игра зависла. Потом кидал раз 20– и не одной шестёрки. Навязчивое предложение поменять слово – вопрос, чтоб игра допустила. По теории вероятности это не невозможно. Мухлеж.

### 2/5 — Куча багов

*2025-05-20*

Играть нормально очень сложно. Запрос с первой игры тянется во все остальные игры , несмотря на то, что запрос корректируешь. Истории и заметки прошлых игр не сохраняются. Во всех играх выставляется один запрос, без заметок, хотя они были.

Бывает когда приходит время для новых ходов, у тебя остается только 2 доступных хода. 1 уже куда-то потерялся. 

В общем, спуститесь на землю в материю, почините нормально приложение!
