About the game
What you do in a play session
The goal here is purely tactical: each riddle proposes specific objectives that the group must achieve to move forward. But it's no walk in the park! The main danger is resource management. If you exhaust all the tower pieces in the game before solving the riddle, the mission fails, and you'll have to start over from scratch. It's the kind of game that requires communication, planning, and great synergy between players to avoid wasting precious moves.
Progression is what keeps the excitement high. As you solve the riddles, you advance on an adventure map and, even better, unlock new gods. These gods bring various powers that will be essential for tackling the more complex riddles ahead. It's like a campaign where your team becomes stronger as the story progresses.
The game maintains the amazing visual essence of Santorini — with that three-dimensional movement we love — but transforms the experience into a collective strategic puzzle. Do you and your friends have the cunning necessary to decipher all the mysteries and finally solve the riddle of the Sphinx? Get your towers ready, coordinate your strategies, and good luck, because the Sphinx doesn't make it easy for anyone!
