It has three difficulty levels, and is based on randomly-generated puzzle sets. The basic format of the game is that players are given a set of clues, and from that must determine who lives in which house, and also different facts about those people. It is based on a riddle, said to be invented by Albert Einstein, that goes like this:
Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?
- There are five houses.
- The Englishman lives in the red house.
- The Spaniard owns the dog.
- Coffee is drunk in the green house.
- The Ukrainian drinks tea.
- The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
- The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
- Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
- Milk is drunk in the middle house.
- The Norwegian lives in the first house.
- The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
- Kools are smoked in a house next to the house where the horse is kept.
- The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
- The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
- The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
Based on this information, puzzle solvers can piece together who lives in what house, what they own , and what they smoke, in order to find out the answers to the questions underneath.
Einsten's Sudoku works much like this puzzle, but with over a quadrillion possible solutions, it's a different game every time.
This was the best game ever, and I can't believe it's gone from the app store. My favorite game of all time!! Please bring it back. I'd pay a good price for it.
