More about this game
You are a detective exploring the Medina of Tunis to find a hidden chest from Carthage. Walk through the 3D city to find six clues marked by glowing cyan rings. Scanning a clue gives you specific measurements, like the dimensions of a fountain or the weight on a balance scale. You must then open your watch and solve a math or physics question based on those measurements. Solving all six questions gives you the seal shards needed to deduce the chest's final location.
Tips
- If you get stuck on a calculation, use the Hint button to see the specific formula you need, like the arithmetic series or lever rule.
- Check the Map tab in your smartwatch to see your current location as a cyan dot and your next lead as a gold dot.
- You can review past clues and unlocked formulas in the Evidence and Formulas tabs if you forget a detail for the final deduction.
Questions
What kind of questions do I need to solve?
The six questions cover math and physics topics. You will calculate arithmetic sequences for door studs, lever moments for a spice scale, volume flow rates, similar triangles, percentages, and hydrostatic pressure.
What happens if I enter the wrong answer?
If you enter the wrong number on the keypad, the game records a failed try. After two wrong attempts, the hint system will automatically provide more detailed help.
How do I find the final chest?
Once you have all six seal shards, open your watch and choose the deduction tab. You must select the correct location out of three options based on the evidence.
