Game Overview

So here’s the deal: you pick one of four Greek gods—Apollo, Hermes, Hecate, or Aphrodite—and then assemble a squad of four warriors to fight for you in this weirdly addictive quiz-battle hybrid. It’s like if Trivial Pursuit and chess had a baby, but the baby was obsessed with mythology.

Your team starts in a corner on this isometric board, and each colored square ties to a different trivia category. Answer right, move forward. Answer wrong, well… good luck. There are teleport squares that fling your pieces around randomly, which is either brilliant or infuriating depending on whether you’re winning.

When two pieces collide, it turns into this rapid-fire quiz showdown—get it right, you score; screw up, and your warrior loses a skill level. But if you rack up enough Wisdom Points, your piece mutates into a higher-tier version. Smarter, but the questions get nastier. It’s a strange mix of strategy and trivia chaos, and somehow it works.

Honestly, half the fun is watching your carefully planned moves get ruined by a single wrong answer about 3rd-century pottery.
