In addition to points for completed columns a player can receive a bonus if they checked all the boxes of the same color. • Official license • Easy start into the game • Game mode "Solo" for single players • Game mode "Duo" for two players on one device • Auto-Select Dice and Auto-Complete Turn • Using the app as a digital score pad or digital dice • Local leaderboard for solo mode • Supporting Game Center with leaderboard and achievements

About

Induction

Read full description

Somewhere inside the box, lodestones are hiding. You can't see them. You can only fire probes into the machine and watch what comes out. A beam that flies straight through? Nothing in its path. A beam that never comes out? A direct hit. A beam that exits somewhere unexpected? Now you're getting somewhere. Every deflection is a clue! Induction is a pure logic deduction game in the tradition of the classic Black Box puzzle: a hidden grid, a limited set of probes, and everything solvable by reasoning alone. No luck, no timers, no move-matching. If you love Minesweeper, nonograms, or picross-style deduction, this is that same "aha!" — with beams. HOW IT PLAYS • Fire probes into the edges of a hidden grid • Read the results: hits, deflections, reflections, pass-throughs • Mark your deductions in the grid until you're certain • Seal your answer. Clean solves and streaks are tracked. WHAT'S INSIDE • Over 1,000 hand-tuned puzzles across notebook collections, from gentle on-ramp to expert codex • A new Daily Challenge every day. The same puzzle for everyone, and streaks to keep • A tutorial that teaches by demonstration, not walls of text • Beautiful vintage-laboratory notebook style PLAYS ANYWHERE • Fully playable offline (commutes, flights, dead zones) • No account required. Sign in with Google or Apple only if you want your progress backed up or synced across devices • Progress backup and cloud sync when signed in FAIR & FOCUSED • Free, supported by ads; rewarded ads are always your choice • No pay-to-win, no energy systems, no consumable nonsense • Your brain is the only power-up From Connexus Digital, the makers of Connexus Puzzles. Charge the coils. Fire the probe. Find what's hiding.
