Reddit user WhiskasTheCat created an educational puzzle game about cryptocurrencies. The player’s purpose is to match the logos and names of the coins. The app is already out of beta testing and is available to play in the browser on a computer or mobile device for free. Do you think you know the name of all digital assets? Let’s find out. 

Rules

The game is called Cryptyles. Several modes are available to the player, each with one puzzle for each day, and it’s the same for all users.

If the player has difficulty answering a question, hacks are available, for which he loses energy. Hacks are added every day, as well as by playing without using them.

The educational part of the game is that after each round, the user is given tips on the game and facts about cryptography. Also, to learn more about coins, you can click on them and get prompt information about digital assets.

The brand new newsletter with insights, market analysis and daily opportunities.

Let’s grow together!

As the game progresses, the user can unlock more features, such as new modes that track detected coins, knowledge of cryptocurrency, and more.

It is worth mentioning that the game also has an internal cryptocurrency, which can be used to buy in-game goods. For example, in update 1.3, WhiskasTheCat added minimalistic crypto wallpapers.

“The game can be quite challenging; while it is more about deduction than knowing all the coins, you should set the difficulty to ease [sic] if you are new to crypto or don’t know many altcoins,” said the developer.

He also advises treating the game as a puzzle of logic and deduction: look at an image and see which name fits the most. For instance, in Moon Mines, there was a coin, PinkSale, nobody probably had ever heard of it, but also, only one image was colored pink. It’s a match! 

How to play?

To play the game, the user should:

  • match coin names and logos by swapping tiles;
  • click on two tiles to swap them;
  • earn more energy and internal currency for winning games and spend them to unlock rewards;
  • new puzzles for each mode are available every day, and they are the same for everyone;
  • this game is more about deducing connections between logos and names than knowing all the coins.

Depending on the mode, the following types of energy are available to the player.

Standard modes:

  • Flash Loan: Gain one additional swap;
  • Scan: Highlights three tiles, of which two can be matched;
  • Front Run: Swap two tiles to match one or both.

Quiz Quasar:

  • Dox: Reveals two wrong answers;
  • Revert: Reverts one mistake.

Memory Magnetosphere:

  • Same as standard modes.

In the future, the author wants to add even more content. 

  • more modes;
  • more rewards;
  • multi-player features;
  • highscores.

But in the meantime, you can play the current version here.
