Tiny Treasure Grid

Read full description

Tiny Treasure Grid is a cozy, slightly weird collecting game. Dig tiles on a daily 5×5 board, pull strange little treasures out of the dirt, finish sticker album sets, and watch your tiny camp grow from a lone tent into a lamplit home base. EVERY TILE HIDES SOMETHING Spend your daily shovels to reveal what's under the board: Treasure Coins, a spare shovel, one of 24 strange little items — or a very sincere hole with something funny to say. THE FIND CARD Every item find gets its moment: a big collectible card with its name, a tiny weird line, and its place in your album. Add it to the album — it's yours. Finds are never taken away. HONEST FINDS, NO TRICKS Pick a focused set and watch the visible counter: every 5th dig reveals a missing item from your focused set, when available. "How finds work" explains everything in plain language. Extra shovels are just more digs — they never change what the board is hiding. SIX STRANGE SETS Desk Goblin, Soft Survival, Chaos Relic, Treasure Cart, Night Shift, Lucky Junk — 24 items with personality, kept in a sticker album with silhouettes for what's still buried. YOUR TINY CAMP Camp XP comes from digging, finishing sets and rare finds. Every level adds something you can see: a campfire, a lamp post, a supply crate, a hand-painted sign, bunting over the tent. BOARDS WITH CHARACTER Dig on dark earth — or switch to Midnight, Neon Relic and Gold Dust boards. Pure cosmetics, same finds underneath. TREASURE PASS An optional auto-renewing monthly subscription ($4.99/month): +20 daily shovels, 2× camp XP, premium boards and a rare-find archive. One-time purchases: Lifetime Treasure Pass, Shovel Pouch, Premium Boards, Collection Boost. Free play is the real game — 15 shovels a day, every set completable.

The perfect move exists. It is shown. Serialogic prints the smallest number of moves that solves the level at the top of the screen, while you play. An exact solver found that number before the level shipped. You are no longer looking for a solution. You are looking for the solution. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT In an ordinary sorting game every solution is worth the same, so tapping until it works out is enough. Here the minimum is known and announced, which turns each level into an optimisation problem. The board also shows, before you commit, how many tokens each destination would take — information the genre simply does not give you. This is golf, not fumbling. THE RULES, IN FOUR LINES Coloured tokens sit mixed across vertical threads. Move the token at the end of a thread onto an empty thread, or onto a token of the same colour. A run of identical adjacent tokens moves as one move, up to the space available. You win when every colour is gathered in full on a single thread. WHAT YOU GET 350 levels across 7 tiers, from three colours on five threads to eight colours on ten. Difficulty climbs inside each tier as much as from one tier to the next. The first three tiers — 150 of the 350 levels — are proven free of dead ends. Every reachable position was enumerated, not sampled. Beyond that a dead end is possible, and a safety net checks after each move that a win is still within reach, telling you the moment it is not. A single undo always brings you back. Undo is free, unlimited, and costs no star. Only the moves of your final solution count. There is no timer anywhere in the app: a clock beside a move count would push you to hurry on a dimension that measures nothing. Nine themes in light and dark, six typefaces, forty-four languages. Progress syncs through iCloud. Game Center achievements and leaderboards. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No advertising, and there never will be. No subscription. No account. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDK of any kind. No network request is ever made: all 350 levels ship inside the app and play in airplane mode, from the first level to the last. The first 150 levels are complete and cost nothing. They sit entirely inside the proven-safe range, so a player who has not paid cannot get stuck. The remaining 200 unlock with a single purchase, once. Nothing recurring. BUILT TO BE READ Six typefaces including OpenDyslexic and Andika, applied to the whole interface. VoiceOver on every thread, announcing each token's colour and fill. Dynamic Type. Reduced motion. Token fill — disc or ring — already tells half the colours apart without relying on colour at all, and a colour-blind mode replaces green with violet. iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, Mac on macOS 14 or later. One purchase covers all three. Serialogic is the fourth in a family of Bauhaus logic games, after KubiLogic, LineaLogic and Tektologic.
