Trikta is a pattern recognition game inspired by the classic card game Set. Study the cards, find triads and sharpen your mind. It works offline: scores sync when you reconnect. A triad is three cards where each attribute (shape, color, fill and count) is either all the same or all different. Easy to learn, hard to master. THREE MODES INCLUDED Daily: a 9-card puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak and climb the daily leaderboard. Sprint: 60 seconds on the clock. How many triads can you find? Each mistake costs 5 seconds. Classic: play through the full 81-card deck. No rush, but the clock is ticking. THE ARCHIVE Every day of the current year is waiting in the calendar. Missed one? Play it whenever you like, even offline. TRIKTA+ (one-time purchase, no subscription) · Daily+: a harder 12-card daily with its own calendar and leaderboard · Historic Tournaments: 48 dates a year, each tied to a moment in history. Playable only on the day, and only your first game counts · Five more themes: Botanica, Cosmos, Bauhaus, Neon and Ceramica, each with its own shapes and palette · The whole archive: travel to any date since 1700. Have you played the day you were born? ALSO · Global leaderboards with each day's podium · Interactive tutorial: learn by playing · Streaks, points breakdown, achievements and stats · Hints, with a penalty, for when you're stuck · Light and dark mode · VoiceOver: every card is described by shape, color, fill and count, and the calendar, the stats and every button speak too · In English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Hungarian · No ads

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Trikta at none against Lockstep Puzzle's shown. Trikta also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Lockstep Puzzle's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
