FoldTrace is a paper-folding puzzle for people who like to think in space—not swipe through noise. A sheet is folded, punched through the stacked layers, and frozen in place. Your job: tap every cell on the original grid where a hole will appear once the paper is fully unfolded. Submit, watch the stack open in 3D, and see exactly what you got right. The idea comes from the classic Paper Folding Test used in cognitive research since 1976—here as a calm, premium-feeling game. No hype about “brain scores.” Just a famously studied spatial task, polished for your phone. CONTENT THAT GOES DEEP • Easy — 50 curated 4×4 puzzles, one fold. A gentle on-ramp. • Medium — 1,824 puzzles, two folds. The heart of the journey. • Hard — 52,464 puzzles, three folds. Territory for players who want to stay a while. In all, more than 54,000 hand-curated, deterministic levels—no random filler. A DAILY RITUAL Every local midnight, the same four puzzles appear for everyone: one easy, two medium, one hard. Clear all four at three stars to earn a +200 perfect-daily bonus toward the global leaderboard. Miss a day? Tomorrow is a fresh sheet. GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS Compete on the all-time board or the weekly board that resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Pick a display name in Settings—no email, phone, or social login required to play. CRAFTED TO FEEL QUIET AND PREMIUM Paper-atelier visuals, a satisfying unfold animation, haptics you can tone down mid-puzzle, and optional audio controls without leaving the board. During gameplay, screen capture is limited so an in-progress daily stays yours. Optional morning reminder at 10:00—only if you want it. FREE TO PLAY, FAIRLY You get five lives that refill over time. Optional rewarded ads can help with an extra life or hints. Want every gate lifted and ads removed for good? God Mode and God Mode Plus are one-time unlocks—never a subscription. Fold the paper.
