PlaySapien is home to a small set of puzzle games, anchored by its daily puzzles. Each daily puzzle is the same one for everybody, rolled out at midnight UTC.
The mark for PlaySapien is the Adinkra symbol Nyansapo, the “wisdom knot” — something that can only be untied by one who is wise enough to do so. It is fitting for the kinds of games we share here. There are a few games here now, and we only expect to grow the list.
Who built it & subscriptions
The site is the product of a father and son team (pictured here), and we’re excited to offer the site ad-free — at least for now! Ideally, enough folks will be interested in subscribing to the paid version to make that possible.
There are essentially three ways to enjoy our games: with no account, with a free account, or with a paid Sapien subscription.
Even at the free level, you can enjoy the games, though with some restrictions on your ability to access all the features. A free account keeps everything you play: your streaks sync across devices, your daily result counts in Analytics, and it is ranked against the other people who played that day. It also lets you begin engaging friends.
The Sapien (paid) subscription unlocks all features — allowing you to create and share puzzles, compare intellisense scores amongst friends, and more. See the Sapien page for the price and everything it includes.
The games & intellisense scores
Each game is just a page you visit with your browser — there is no app to install (though an iPhone app version is in the works). Each game also has its own “About” page, where you can learn the rules of play and other details about the game.
Each game falls in a category of “intellisense”, and each score you earn in a game contributes to an intellisense score (or is the full intellisense score) in that category. Your aggregate intellisense scores are reported in a radial chart that you can then compare to others, including friend groups if you are a paid subscriber.
