About the Game

1. Precise Spatial Challenges

The game is easy to pick up, with its core gameplay revolving around spatial puzzles based on the traditional Chinese mortise and tenon joinery technique. In each level, you will observe schematic drawings of a mortise and tenon joint, visualize how the pieces fit together in 3D space, and then use simple actions like tapping and eliminating to refine the components. The challenge is to assemble the pieces, achieving a perfectly fitting joint to solve the spatial puzzle.

2. Learn Through Play: A Glimpse into Knowledge

Every mortise and tenon blueprint you unlock by completing the main story levels is collected in your "Gallery" section. Here, you can freely disassemble and examine each structure. With AR-like visual effects, you can rotate the 3D models 360 degrees to explore the principles behind these ingenious joints, learning about the history and culture of this classic Chinese craft in an engaging way.

3. Master the Art of Joinery Through Challenges

The "Challenge" section brings together everything you have learned about mortise and tenon joinery through a series of structural puzzles. Observe each structure, work out how its pieces fit together, and apply your knowledge to solve each challenge, bringing learning and play together.
