What is it?
A playable 31-mission, six-world puzzle and action game ending with the Omega Core.
Why was it created?
Make planning, engineering, deduction, prediction, optimization and control feel like exciting decisions instead of abstract lectures.
Who is it for?
- Curious beginners
- Puzzle and action-game players
- Students and teachers
- Text-only or read-only AI reasoning clients
How to use it
- Open the public game and choose a world.
- Clear five stages in each of six worlds.
- Collect all six sigils, unlock the Omega Core, then solve its final code.
- Open Blueprint to review lessons, export a save or print your 100% certificate.
Available controls or interactions
Keyboard, mouse, touch, local saved progress; no account.
How do you know you succeeded?
30 world mission clears unlock the finale; the final code gives 31/31, or 100% in the actual client-side campaign.
What should you see?
The browser displays mission outcomes, world progression and an optional lesson for every completed stage.
Play it through your mind
Read a 6×6 maze or cipher scenario and propose a valid action. Compare against engine-derived solutions without controlling the live game.
You have a three-digit vault, digits 0–5, no repeats. A guess returns one exact and one misplaced digit. What should you do next?
Suggested thought move: Use the observed feedback to keep plausible digits and test new positions systematically.
Reveal the reasoned answer (spoiler)
Do not assert the secret code from incomplete evidence. Choose a new legal guess that discriminates between remaining possibilities.
Hypothetical teaching scenario, not a real game or model execution.
For read-only AI clients
GET the 31-challenge book, game rules, reference solutions and simulation contract; reason through steps as hypothetical moves.

AI responses must distinguish proposed actions and local reasoning from actually executed browser actions; no owner credentials or private APIs are provided.
Errors, limits and privacy
If it fails
Wrong choices or blocked moves produce feedback. Reset or retry a mission; continue later with browser-local saved progress.
Data handling
Actual game progress stays in browser localStorage; mindplay uses separate session-only state. No server score or payment identity.
Known limitations
- Stylized 2D/browser action; not photorealistic 3D.
- Physical iOS Safari certification remains pending.
- Read-only connectors do not change a user's saved game.
- Action-world tabletop thought exercises are not the live physics simulation.
