Drift
Read full descriptionHide full description
DRIFT is a daily puzzle of quiet, compounding tension. Every card carries three traits — color, shape, and pip count. Build a chain where each card changes EXACTLY ONE trait from the last. Bank a chain and it scores its length squared, so the long ones are worth far more — if you can hold your nerve. Hidden in the deck are Decay cards that cut your longest live chain in half, and rare Prism wildcards that link to anything. Push your luck, or bank early? That’s the whole game. Everyone gets the same deck each day — compare your run, keep your streak, and climb the Mastery ranks. • DAILY — one shared, seeded puzzle every day, with a Wordle-style shareable result. • JOURNEY — 30 hand-tuned puzzles across three regions; earn up to three stars each. • ENDLESS — fresh decks anytime, no pressure, no streak. • PROGRESS — medals, Mastery ranks, achievements, and unlockable themes. • PURE — no ads, no accounts, no tracking. 100% offline. Color-blind friendly. One deck. One trait at a time. How long can you go?

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Drift at every 8 days against Collaborative Sudoku's every 3 weeks. Collaborative Sudoku's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
