Puzzle Realms
Select an expedition realm below. Each world is a 40-stage roguelike climb ascending across 4 phases (Foothills, Ascent, Ridge, Summit). Pick your next tactical contract, beat the passing criteria, and power up your run by advancing your overall puzzle skills!
The Frosted Citadel
Atop the frozen summits, tactical precision is preserved in crystalline ice. Master the 40-step ascent through freezing blizzards to claim the Glacial Shard.
The Obsidian Forge
Forged in subterranean magma, these brutal tactical combinations shatter stubborn fortresses with crushing piece sacrifices.
Kyoto Sanctuary
Peaceful zen stone gardens harboring razor-sharp tactical lines. Quiet moves and geometric deflection bloom like cherry blossoms.
Neon Metropolis
High-voltage grid matrices and glowing neon channels. Calculating speed-demon combinations at the speed of fiber optics.
How Roguelike Realm Expeditions Work
Pick Your Next Contract
Before every stage, choose from 3 tactical contracts—like a steady Mate in 2 path, a high-ELO Sudden Death Mate in 3 for 2× stars, or a specialized Motif Bounty. Meet the passing clock and mistake criteria or restart your climb!
Skill-Earned Run Upgrades
Advancing your overall Puzzle Rating and Tactical DNA permanently earns starting run upgrades: extra countdown clock seconds (+5s to +40s), non-penalizing Free Hints, Aegis Blunder Shields, and Contract Rerolls.
Whole-Set Armory & Flair
Equip complete custom vector chess sets (Classic Staunton, Cyber Mecha, Samurai Shogun, Glacial Crystal, Obsidian Magma) and mix-and-match Take Animations, Move Splashes, and Square Highlights.
