One app. Endless challenges. 1Mazing packs 58 beautifully crafted brain games into a single app - completely free, with zero ads. Play offline with no account at all - or opt in to global leaderboards with just a nickname. Your choice, always. 1MAZE - THE ONE WE'RE NAMED FOR In 1Maze you swipe to slide down the row, stopping at every fork, turn and dead end. Find your way to the exit - or detour into the dead ends for the corn kernels hiding there. You can't do both, and that's the whole game. Ten fields, from Sprout Field to Harvest Moon: fog that hides the rows, a runaway calf to bring home, gopher tunnels, a gate you need a key for, and a delivery route you run in order. Plus Today's Maze - the same maze for everyone, every day. WORDS - 1Word: crack the hidden word in six tries, with a flip-reveal and spoiler-free sharing - 1Hunch: one secret word a day, and every guess tells you how near you are - Word Trails: trace letters through connected crossword grids - 1Connect: sort 16 words into four secret groups - Word Search: find every hidden word in the themed grid SPELLING - 1Spell, Word Scramble, Word Rush, Missing Letters: build and unscramble words against the clock - Word Ladder: climb from one word to another, one letter at a time - Word Bloom: a fresh daily honeycomb NUMBERS - Make the Total, Number Merge, Number Drop: arithmetic that feels like arcade - Shake & Score: dice you roll by actually shaking your phone LOGIC - Sudoku with guaranteed-unique puzzles and smart pencil notes - Nonogram that paints YOUR photo as you solve - Chess & Checkers: real engines, vs-computer or pass-and-play - Pool: eight-ball with true physics, shot by shot - Mancala: sow the stones, capture, bank the most - Cribbage & Euchre: proper card play, pegged and scored to the point - 1Link, Tile Slide, Block Party, Sequence MEMORY & SPEED - 1Reaction: five reflex events with endless levels - 1Sound & 1Rhythm: echo games you can play entirely by feel - 1Shot: flick-to-score basketball with a roaming hoop - Hot & Cold: feel your way to the hidden treasure - 1Brick, 1Memory, Flash Grid, Ape Memory, Number Hunt, Quick Count, Focus, and more PLAY TOGETHER (on one phone or one Wi-Fi) - Air Hockey: two thumbs, one screen, first to seven - 1Buzz: turn every phone in the room into a buzzer over local Wi-Fi - Hot Potato, Coin Flip, Bottle Flip, 1Dice CAMPING GAMES (one phone, passed around the circle) - Impostor: everyone gets the same secret word - except one of you - Score: keeps score of the real game outside - volleyball, pickleball, golf and mini golf, called out loud so nobody breaks the rally - Word Bomb: name one, pass it on, before the fuse blows - Camping Tale: one story, a sentence each, plus twists from the phone - Camping Quiz: one phone asks, the whole circle shouts - Would You Rather: vote in secret, then argue out loud Every one of these is spoken end to end, so a blind player and a sighted player play them on identical terms. THE DAILY 01 Four quick rounds every day, and YOU pick which games fill them. Finish with the Binary Bonus: one 0-or-1 decision that can double your day's Bits. GO ONLINE, ONLY IF YOU WANT Opt in to the 1Mazing Arena and climb daily, weekly, and all-time leaderboards with nothing but a nickname: no email, no password. Save your progress with a recovery code, or sign in with Apple, so a new phone need not be a fresh start. All of it is optional and off until you turn it on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 1Mazing at none against Alpha's shown. 1Mazing also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Alpha's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
