What’s new

Admin Dashboard and Settings on phones

Admin Dashboard

• New:

  Admin access — : Owners grant, change and revoke admin access in the app, with a confirmation for every change and at least one owner always kept.

• New:

  Personal test outcomes — : Admins can queue one result for their own next case opening or slot spin. Nobody else’s odds change.

Coin Slots, reworked

• New:

  New machine — : A neon cabinet, a marquee that counts up your win, glowing winning reels, and a flash and shake on big wins.

• New:

  Sound and celebrations — : Every spin clicks, lands and pays out with sound, and the rarer the win, the bigger the fanfare, flash and coin shower.

Quality-of-life update

• New:

  SFX Volume — : Set sound effects anywhere from muted to 100%. Every sound effect is also louder than before.

• New:

  Collections dropdown — : Switch collections from one dropdown in the top bar instead of a row of tabs.

Daily Tournaments and Wagers in the Arcade

• New:

  Daily Tournament — : One game a day (UTC), rotating through Flutter, Snake, Fruit Slice and Tower Stacker. Free to enter; your best run counts, and the top ten win Coins, with exclusive flair for the podium.

• New:

  Wagers — : Stake 10 to 10,000,000 Coins on a best-of-five against another player, on any of the 12 minigames with the settings you choose. Both stakes are held until the match ends and the winner takes the pot.

New colours for the Vault and the Admin panel

• New:

  Vault colours — : Next to Dark and Crimson, the Vault's colour picker now offers Purple, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Light Blue and Rose, recolouring the 3D chamber, the console glass, the seal and the controls.

• New:

  Admin colours — : For admins, the Admin panel's header has a colour menu with Crimson and the same six variants, chosen separately from the Vault's.

Faster loading and smoother visuals

• New:

  Vault tilt on touch — : On touch screens, holding a finger on the Vault's glass now tilts the scene the way a mouse does.

• Improved:

  Faster loading — : Pages download much less script (about a third less on Home), the featured image loads first, and on phones the greeting shows up right away instead of after the artwork.

Browse all favorited tasks from Home

• Improved:

  Favorited Tasks — : Browse all your open starred tasks in pages of eight, instead of seeing only the first few.

Guest mode, one-click navigation and more sound

• New:

  Guest mode — : Choose “Continue as guest” on the sign-in page to play the Arcade without an account. Everything else stays tied to an account.

• New:

  Area switcher — : Archive, To Do, Arcade and Shop now sit side by side in the top bar, one click away from anywhere.

Clearer Season Pass, sturdier streak flame, nicer scrollbars

• New:

  Season Pass — : Claiming rewards now pops each one onto the screen with a burst in its rarity colour, rarest first.

• Improved:

  Season Pass — : Bigger reward cards with items standing on a glowing pedestal that lift out of the card on hover. Ready, claimed, locked and Premium rewards each have their own badge, your current tier is highlighted and the track can jump to your first unclaimed reward.

The Lab gets a new look

• New:

  Little celebrations — : Catching the Shy Button, finishing a cancellation, beating the Password Gauntlet or pushing the volume to the top sets off a short burst, and shredding a password scatters its letters.

• New:

  More things to cancel — : Cancel Anything now has eight made-up subscriptions, each with its own flow: hold music, a sad ghost, double-negative checkboxes, quizzes and ever-better duck offers. The Mystery Box takes a full 22 steps to escape.

A fresh look across Amethyst

• Improved:

  Page headers — : Pages open with a glowing icon and title.

• Improved:

  Settings and Customization — : Each settings group sits in its own card, and choices, themes and frames are picked from cards that lift and glow.

Shops for six more Arcade games

• New:

  Six new game shops — : Buy and equip skins, boards, symbols and effects with coins, and preview each one live before you buy.

• New:

Queens and Patches get a makeover

• New:

  Drag to erase in Queens — : Start a drag on a × to wipe every mark you sweep over.

• Improved:

  Patches previews — : While you draw, a size label appears and the outline turns green when the patch fits its clue.

Hints for Zip, Tango, Queens and Patches

• New:

  Puzzle hints — : Tap Hint to fix a mistake or reveal one more correct step. Each hint adds 15 seconds to your time.

Tango glows up, and puzzle grids stay square

• Improved:

  Tango feel — : Suns spin in, moons swing in, cells take on warm or cool tints, and finishing a correct row or column lights it up with a chime.

Zip difficulties and a juicier trail

• New:

  Zip difficulties — : Easy (5×5), Medium (6×6), Hard (7×7) and Expert (8×8) practice puzzles, with fewer numbers the harder you go.

• Improved:

  Zip feel — : A color-shifting trail, a glowing path head, numbers that pop when you reach them, a progress bar and a wave of light when you solve it.

Gem Chase gets some sparkle

• Improved:

  Gem Chase visuals — : Glowing maze walls, twinkling glimmers, spinning prisms, a faceted Gem with a sparkle trail and glowing shades.

• Improved:

  Prism timer — : A bar under the score shows how long the shades stay scared, and flashes when it's about to run out.

Space Blaster, rebuilt as a roguelite

• New:

  Upgrades — : After every wave, choose one of three: faster fire, more lasers at once, harder hits, piercing, missiles, drones, shields and more.

• New:

Replay every cutscene version

• New:

  Other settings — : A home for older versions of things that have since been replaced.

New rarities and rare pull cutscenes

• New:

  Prismatic, Exalted and Amethyst — : Three new rarities above Secret, each with a case-exclusive banner and title in the Release Case. Amethyst is extremely rare.

• New:

  Rare pull cutscenes — : Secret and higher pulls play a skippable scene, and every rarity has its own: a decryption lock, a rainbow prism, a golden ascension and a shattering crystal, each with its own soundtrack. Pick which rarities play it in Settings.
