Shapzels

Shapzels is a collaborative puzzle game where three or more players cooperate to solve puzzles of shapes.

Shapzels is a Prison Island inspired game and a digital prototype of an action room. The best way to experience the game is to try several times until you and your group together can decipher the hardest shapes and gain the maximum amount of points.

One player acts as the guide, where they are presented with a symbol and the option to input a letter and a number. The other two players are presented with three or more symbols with an identification of either a letter or a number for each. They then have to communicate with each other and the guide to combine their two symbols so that it matches the one the guide has.

We performed tests of Shapzels with collaboration from NTI Gymnasiet Kronhus, if you are curious on how the game looks from a player perspective, click here!

While simple in practice, this game will challenge your group in your ability to communicate and understand each other when dealing with abstract and confusing symbols. Good luck!
