You think you're clever. You went to college. You do crosswords. You win at Scrabble against your grandmother. Adorable. Code Quest will humble you in ways you didn't know were possible. Here's how it works: 25 words, two teams, one Black Card that ends the game instantly. First team to find all their words wins. Pick your role: The Cryptographer - You see everything. The whole board is revealed to you. Your job? Give your team a one-word clue that connects multiple words. They're in the dark. You're watching them fumble. Sometimes they'll nail it. Often they won't. The Code Cracker - You get one word and one number. That's it. Figure out what your Cryptographer meant. Tap the right words, keep your turn going. Tap wrong, hand the game to your opponent. How you'll play: Against AI - Go solo against AI opponents, or mix humans and AI however you want. 2 vs 2 with AI teammates? Three humans against one ruthless AI? Your call. Our custom AI doesn't mess around. Trained on billions of words, it doesn't sleep, doesn't blink. It will give you a clue so brilliant you'll want to frame it, or so cursed you'll question the nature of consciousness itself. Online Multiplayer - Share a room code with friends anywhere in the world. Watch them make decisions you'd never make. Question if you really know these people.
 Pass & Play - Local multiplayer on one device. Any mix of humans and AI. Perfect for game nights, or for including that friend who doesn't have the app yet. The game mechanics are simple: Your Cryptographer gives one word and a number. The number tells you how many words connect to that clue. You start guessing. If you get it right, you keep going. If you get it wrong, your turn ends. Find all your team's words first to win. But tap the black card and it’s game over. You lose. Instantly. This game will make you doubt: - Your teammates' intelligence - Your own intelligence - If language is a tool for connection or a weapon of mass confusion - That you and your partner are "on the same wavelength" - Your faith in humanity's collective intelligence
