Features
Read full description

Every grid plays by a stated rule — except for one cell that breaks it. Spot the lie. Build your streak. A puzzle game about deduction. Each case shows you a grid and a claim. Most cells follow the rule. One doesn't. Tap it. 11 RULES TO MASTER • Find the cell that breaks its column color • Catch two same-colored cells touching • Spot the broken mirror in symmetric grids • Find the adjacent symbol duplicate • Trace arrows pointing at their twins • Break 180° rotational symmetry • Spot the diagonal mismatch • Catch the cell that breaks the column color cycle • Find the row missing a symbol • Find the unsorted row • Identify the duplicate row pair 5 THEMED WORLDS Candy Shop. Enchanted Forest. Starry Night. Cloud Kingdom. Sugar Rush. The look changes every 20 levels. DIFFICULTY THAT EARNS ITS NAME Cases 1–10 are handcrafted tutorials. After that, every puzzle is procedurally generated with exactly one verified violation. Grids grow from 3×3 to 5×5. Past case 80, the game sometimes tells the truth — and you have to recognize it. STREAK & MILESTONES Solve consecutively. Milestones at 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500. One wrong tap resets you. OFFLINE. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. Progress saved on device. No tracking. No internet required. SHORT SESSIONS Each puzzle is 10–60 seconds.
