Standoff: each of you sets the code the other must break. Two codes, one clock, and you watch them close in on yours. Outsmart your rival and claim the reward. DAILY OPERATION A new code every day, the same for everyone. Crack it, climb the daily leaderboard and earn double XP. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Assemble mining rigs, expand your vault, and run overclocks. Your network keeps earning credits while you are away. SYNDICATES AND TERRITORY Join one of three syndicates, claim territory on the map, and take your share of the pot that every raid feeds. RAIDS Break into a rival operator's grid and take what they left unguarded, then set your own defenses before they come for you. GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Earn XP and climb fifteen ranks to become the ultimate Server King. MORE WAYS TO PLAY Quick Hacks for fast action, Training to sharpen your deduction, and 18 career contracts plus fresh daily missions.

About

TenTacToe

Read full description

Ten takes a classic game and turns it into a deep, multi-layered strategy experience. Played on a massive 3x3 grid where every square contains another smaller 3x3 board, the goal is simple: get three in a row on a small board to claim the giant square. Claim three giant squares in a row to win the game. But there is a catch. You don't get to choose which small board you play on. The move you make dictates exactly where your opponent must play next. If you place your piece in the top-right corner of a small board, your opponent is forced to make their next move somewhere in the top-right giant board. Every single move is both an attack on a local board and a forced trap for your opponent on the global board. FEATURES Seamless iMessage Multiplayer: Built exclusively as an iMessage app. No separate accounts or sign-ups required—just tap the app drawer in your chat and send a move to a friend. Planning Mode (Sandbox): Need to think five moves ahead? Open the Sandbox to safely test out future moves, predict your opponent's responses, and game out complex strategies without altering the real game. Smart Hints: Turn on Hints to calculate the mathematical win probability of every possible move, generating a color-coded heatmap of the best (and worst) choices on the board. Pass & Play: Hanging out in person? Enable Pass & Play to play locally on a single device. Wildcards: If your opponent forces you to a board that is already won or completely full, you earn a Wildcard and can place your next piece anywhere on the entire grid. Do you have the foresight to trap your opponent, sacrifice a small board to win the big one, and claim victory?
