Game pageTick Tock: A Tale for Two — make the next discovery together
The pleasure is in a conversation suddenly becoming a solution. Reviews enjoy combining what each partner can see, rather than having one person solve everything.
Choose it for a shared puzzle session, not a large supply of puzzles to keep returning to.
What makes it fun
Your clue may unlock their puzzle
A clue you cannot use on your screen may be the key to a mechanism on your partner’s. With neither of you seeing the other’s screen, describing what you find becomes part of solving the puzzle.
Hear the solution click into place
As you talk through clues from separate screens, a solution can suddenly come into focus. Sharing an idea and checking it together makes the breakthrough satisfying.
