## What is REBUSTED?

REBUSTED is a fast-paced picture puzzle game. Every puzzle is a rebus: a word or phrase hidden in the way letters and pictures are arranged. A word sitting on top of another word, letters falling down the screen, something inside something else. Figure out what it says before the clock runs out, tap in the answer, and BUST it.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Each puzzle animates onto the screen. Watch closely: the motion is part of the clue.
- Tap letters to spell the answer. Every new letter you use adds a second to the clock.
- Wrong guesses cost time, but the letters you got right stay put.
- Every second left on the clock when you solve is 10 points. Speed is everything.

THE DAILY REBUS
- One new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone, and one shot at it.
- Play it every day to build your streak. Miss a day and a streak freeze can save it.
- Each week's seven dailies become the next pack, so the game grows every Monday.

PUZZLE PACKS
- Puzzles come in packs of seven, from warm-up classics to head-scratchers.
- Every puzzle is a one-shot: you get one run at each pack, and your result goes on your record.
- Bust a pack to unlock the next, or spend coins to unlock one early.
- Revisit any pack to watch the puzzles again, see the answers, and TRY AGAIN on the ones you missed.

COINS
- Start with 1,000 free coins and collect more every day from the daily gift.
- Stuck? Spend coins on hints to reveal letters, or reveal the whole answer when time runs out.
- Coin packs are available if you want a bigger stash. Every puzzle is free to play, always.

PROFILE AND LEADERBOARDS
- See your rank, fastest solve, daily streak, and every achievement you have earned.
- Compete for total points across every pack, or see who topped each individual pack.
- Play instantly as a guest and pick your leaderboard name in seconds. Link an email so your coins and progress follow you to any device.
- Share your pack results, daily results, and profile with friends.

### 5/5 — Insanely addicting

*2026-09-24*

These are the types of games that I download and expect to delete it shortly there after. Nope not this one. This is what when I find myself with some downtime. I’m loading it up to bust out a few puzzles.. really gets the brain going. You don’t really need to spend a bunch of time committed to it. You can login play a few log out. I really enjoy it. I’m mad that I didn’t think of it.

### 5/5 — Great mind game

*2026-09-24*

Cool new way to challenge myself and exercise my brain. Simple but pretty and addictive.

### 5/5 — Great for a daily puzzler!

*2026-09-24*

I love doing daily puzzles and can binge out on them. This is a great new game for that! I think the animations and sounds are well thought out and the puzzles have a good difficulty progression. Highly recommend this if you like crosswords, or any other type of word game puzzles.
