MAKE A HAND. BUILD AN ENGINE. BREAK THE MATH. Step into the Night Parade: a number-card roguelite where simple hands become outrageous scoring machines. Draw 8 cards, play up to 5, and turn familiar sets and runs - plus Sum to Ten, Spectrum, and Pure Run - into chips x mult. Then draft relics, tune your deck, and survive eight escalating rounds. EASY TO READ. DEEP TO MASTER. ⢠See your score before you commit a hand ⢠Keep the complete hand table one tap away ⢠Read every suit by color, symbol, and name ⢠Spot overlapping hands and score the strongest pattern BUILD SOMETHING BROKEN ⢠Discover 22 relics across common, uncommon, and rare tiers ⢠Combine relic effects into powerful scoring engines ⢠Add, enhance, or remove cards in The Exchange ⢠Upgrade cards with foil, holo, and gild enhancements ⢠Bank coins between rounds to earn interest - or spend them chasing the perfect build THE RULES CHANGE AS YOU CLIMB Every run climbs through eight named rounds. From the third, each round bends a rule: fewer swaps, a smaller hand, halved coins, or junk hands worth nothing. Beat The Auditor at Round 8 to win. Your run saves after every action, so you can leave and continue exactly where you stopped. ONE SHARED DAILY Everyone gets the same seeded run each day: the same deal, the same rule changes, and the same Exchange. You get one ranked attempt, then you can compare your result on the global leaderboard. The Daily is free for everyone. THE MARATHON (PRO) Pro adds a separate board on the same daily deck. Carry it past Round 8 in Infinite Mode as often as you like: every run counts and your best run ranks. The Daily itself stays one ranked attempt for everyone. KEEP MAKING PROGRESS ⢠Complete 13 milestones ⢠Discover every hand and relic ⢠Track personal records and your strongest builds ⢠Change the full table with unlockable themes ⢠Share polished result cards with friends FREE TO PLAY Play the ranked Daily every day, start five introductory casual runs, then receive three casual starts each day. Free players get the complete eight-round game and the full core relic pool. There are no ads. GO PRO Unlock unlimited casual runs, continue winning builds into Infinite Mode, expand from five to eight relic slots after Round 8, play today's deck on the Marathon Pro board, where unlimited attempts count and your best run past Round 8 ranks, keep the Ledger of lifetime records and your last 30 runs, and equip every premium table theme.

Can you find the animals that belong together? Pick The Pack is a simple, accessible animal sorting game designed especially for toddlers and preschoolers, but anyone can play! It is built around clear pictures, spoken instructions, and easy-to-understand choices, so no reading is required. Listen to a request, explore the animals on screen, make your choice, and confirm your answer. Choose between two ways to play: ⢠Levels: ten rounds that gradually become more challenging, with more animals and different groups appearing together. ⢠Free Play: no levels, just keep picking animals for as long as you like. Meet 50 animals across five groups: farm animals, jungle animals, water animals, flying animals, and dinosaurs. Animal names can be spoken aloud, displayed under each picture, or both. Pick The Pack includes highly customizable accessibility settings: built-in voice guidance, VoiceOver support, optional spoken and displayed animal names, a dyslexia-friendly font, high contrast, reduced motion, adjustable speaking speed, voice encouragement, vibration feedback, and separate controls for sound and music volume. Play in English or Italian, completely offline and without an account. There are no advertisements, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
