Chromata — in detail.

Chromata is a logic puzzle where you never guess — you prove. A secret code hides behind three, four or five colors, each carrying a value from 1 to 5. Each turn, three statements are offered to you, with no verdict attached. You pick only one, and only then does the game reveal whether it is true or false. That is the whole point: if “Iris > Cobalt” is false, then Iris ≤ Cobalt, and you have learned exactly as much. No bad draw, no luck to suffer — only reasoning that is more or less efficient. Cross out impossible values on the grid, cross-reference, narrow it down, and when one candidate is left, submit it. Every game can be replayed statement by statement afterwards, and there are seven ranks to climb, from Greyness to Divine Lagoon. A game lasts two to ten minutes, plays in silence, offline, with no account and no ads. The game is free; a single purchase, never a subscription, unlocks 4 and 5-color codes, hard mode and timed mode.

Features

What makes it different.

Three statements. You pick just one.

“The sum of Sulphur and Cobalt is 4.” “Iris is 3 or 5.” Three cards are served without their verdict: you turn one over, and choosing it is the bet.

False teaches you as much as true

If “Iris > Cobalt” is false, then Iris ≤ Cobalt. A negative constraint is worth as much as a positive one: there is no losing draw, only deductions that are more or less efficient.

The elimination grid is your scratchpad

One row per color, one cell per value. Tap to cross out, hold to lock, and keep a joker for when a game closes in on you. The game never crosses anything out for you.

Three difficulties, eight clue families

Comparisons, sums, orderings, counts, positions, membership. Codes of 3 to 5 colors, up to 3,125 combinations, and difficulties that change the nature of the clues, not just their number.

Secret clues, divination, stopwatch

Pick your cards face down for bonus points, reroll a triplet of statements, or reason under pressure with a speed bonus under the minute.

No ads, no account, fully offline

No data collection, no connection required. The game is free with 3-color codes; a single purchase, never a subscription, unlocks everything else.
