The submission period of this jam has not ended yet. Rating opens 2026-02-22 11:00:00. You will be able to rate this entry if you submit to this jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
Each image puzzle is a real-world Strange Place.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Still a work in progress until the end of the jam.

This is an early submission and will be refined/polished during the remaining days. I used some previous functions from other projects to speed development. These functions play sound (not yet implemented here), as well as use a backend for global score keeping (not yet implemented here).

I also used the JavaScript library for Open Street maps that facilitate the selection of these strange places on a world map.

There are simple image puzzles that use a picture of a truly real world strange place!

( The images are from creative commons / public domain sources ).

Each place is a different puzzle. Which puzzle place do you mean?

Currently still a work in progress -- I will use the remaining time in this jam to finalize puzzles and add additional puzzles.  Please feel free to comment early, I will likely spend the next 3 days implementing ideas, suggestions and just continuing some of my ideas for puzzles to add.  ( TODO: tile swap puzzle, true slide vertical/horizontal slices, finish off the catacombs flashlight puzzle, and more )
