Also headlining
A quiz across the site, a verified fact with its source and a map game about places in Romania.
Ten categories, two levels, 44 titles to earn with a clean sheet. Every question comes from a verified fact on the site.
A short, surprising fact with a link to the section that explains it.
The game names a place in Romania and you drop the pin where you think it is: 45 places, 10 rounds, scored by kilometres.
Long games
Eight mystery cases about how we know things, nine ballots that elect three winners and a little Dacia to free from a parking lot.
Twelve rooms. Eight cases. One vanished Keeper.
The same 9 ballots. Three real rules. Three winners.
Eight ever-trickier lots: slide each car lengthwise and clear the exit. Every level has a move par to beat.
Short and sharp
Three compact games about envy, live television and randomness.
One minute, six gardens and a village lane in uproar.
A satirical arcade game about a seven-second delay, five live shows and the reflex to say “Steaua” instead of FCSB.
Press 0 or 1 across 20 rounds. An 8-state automaton tries to guess your every choice before you press.
Longer worlds
Three deeper worlds: useful monsters, unfinished futures and one very full car trunk.
A puzzle-adventure about the creatures that live inside systems.
An archive of roads not taken.
A physical Tetris with the parcel from home: two demijohns, fifteen jars of zacuscă, a sack of potatoes, a bucket of pickles and a frozen cockerel. Then, what the ritual says about short food chains and the informal subsistence economy.
