Board of the day
One board for everyone
The board of the day is the same for every player: one day, one puzzle that everyone solves. Something to talk about with friends.

Key ideas
Heroes and bosses
Kora, Ma and Pip
The board has its keepers — the heroes Kora, Ma and Pip. And then there are bosses: they turn an ordinary day into an unusual one.
The tide
Water is part of the rules
The tide reshapes the board: the bottom rows go under water, and every move has to account for it.
Lighthouse subscription
Sells convenience, not victory
The subscription makes the game more comfortable, but it can’t buy a result. The game economy is modeled 24 months ahead — before the first line of code.
How it’s made
Economics first, pixels second.

Approach
- Mechanics, economy, progression and subscription are designed together — as one system.
- Monetization doesn’t break fairness: everyone plays the same board, and victory isn’t for sale.
- The board on this page is drawn in code — we’re not showing prototype screenshots yet.
Status
