Sharpen your Pokémon TCG skills with PrizeMap: the ultimate way to practice real in-game scenarios and master complex plays. Put your knowledge to the test by solving a wide range of strategic puzzles built from commonly used cards and uncommon board states. What’s a TCG Puzzle? Think of them like chess puzzles, but replace the chess pieces with trading cards. You’re placed into a specific game state with one clear but not-so-obvious path to victory. Every puzzle can be won in a single turn — but only if you understand your deck, sequencing, and card interactions at a high level. The order in which you play your turn is very important, one slip up and you may fail! Why PrizeMap? Built by players, for players, PrizeMap helps you: -Explore puzzles across multiple decks and archetypes -Learn card interactions you may not have seen before -Deepen your understanding of both your deck and the meta -Level up your decision-making and sequencing skills Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned competitor, PrizeMap makes improvement fun, challenging, and repeatable. Create & Share Use the built-in Puzzle Creator to design your own scenarios, then share them with a unique PrizeMap link.

Having to play cards in EXACT order to yield same results also doesn’t feel good since I then needed to load for 30 seconds to try again. Worth a try if you’re a competitive player but too much waiting for an app that should be quick as a daily puzzle ### 5/5 — Best thing to exist! *2026-01-07* Really great app. Puzzles are fun and creators really care about the game. ### 1/5 — Blatant Ripoff of TCGM and AI Cash Grab *2026-01-01* Creator embedded TCGM simulator without getting permission from those developers and even tried to paywall free features from TCGM, please use and support TCGM instead. If you don’t care about stealing content, then this app is still literal AI garbage. “Helpfully” reminds you every time you open the app that you have notifications disabled which is not at all an annoying way to get you to turn on notifications. Trying to delete your account? Good luck, it’ll keep spitting out a 500 error because why take the time and effort to design and test an experience that works and instead type some words into windsurf and then slap some in app purchases in there. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for trying PrizeMap! Looks like you're on 1.4.1, which means PrizeMap is currently operating within the allowance of TCGM. Also reminder, this project was never meant to be as widely published at this time as what it ended up being, and I as a solo dev am definitely facing the consequences of such rapid adoption. I ask for your patience and forgiveness for all the hiccups the app has seen in the past week. (EDIT: With Version 1.7.0, you can once again play puzzles again in the app! Check it out! This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) -Jerry ### 1/5 — Dog *2025-12-28* Ad ridden rip off of tcgmasters.net.. I misclick once and refresh straight to an ad. Ruining the game ruining the community with cash grab and ai app development **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap. Effective with app version 1.4.0, we have complied with the wishes of the developer of TCGMasters and they are okay with its current use of redirecting into their site until our own simulator is built. Our puzzles are all our unique work and that is the product we are providing with this app. (EDIT: With Version 1.7.0, you can once again play puzzles again in the app! Check it out! This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) ### 1/5 — Stolen Software *2025-12-28* They legit just took the software from another app and added a paywall, disappointing to see in the community. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap. Effective with app version 1.4.0, we have complied with the wishes of the developer of TCGMasters and they are okay with its current use of redirecting into their site until our own simulator is built. Our puzzles are all our unique work and that is the product we are providing with this app. (EDIT: With Version 1.7.0, you can once again play puzzles again in the app! Check it out! This is now properly licensed and an improvement over the previous simulator) ### 2/5 — Stolen App *2025-12-28* This app is just a direct embed of TCGMasters with a barely new coat of paint. The creator himself has said so on discord. Do not support this garbage and instead use TCGMasters ### 1/5 — Just use TCMasters instead *2025-12-28* The entire app is just a fancy embed of the TCGMasters website, presumably done without permission. It’s also completely loaded with ads to the point that it’s obnoxious to even try and finish a puzzle. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for using PrizeMap. Effective with app version 1.4.0, we have complied with the wishes of the developer of TCGMasters and they are okay with its current use of redirecting into their site until our own simulator is built.
