About this game

Every picture has a caption. Every caption is written in a language no one on Earth has ever seen. Compare, notice, and crack it.

Alien Language is a logic puzzle about reading a language you have never met. Each finding shows a few pictures with their captions in an alien script. When two pictures differ by one detail, their captions differ by one word: that is your clue. Work out which word means "red", which ending means "two", and whether colours come before or after the noun. Then prove it.

It is a language puzzle that needs no language skills. No vocabulary to memorise, no translating, no guessing. Everything you need is on the screen, and every puzzle has exactly one answer you can reach by logic alone.

THREE KINDS OF PUZZLE
• Pick the picture a caption describes
• Write the caption for a picture with alien word tiles
• Fill in the missing part of a caption

EVERY PLANET SPEAKS ITS OWN LANGUAGE
Travel the Expedition map planet by planet. Each planet has its own words, its own grammar and its own script. One language puts colours before the noun, another marks "many" by repeating a word, another packs a whole sentence into a single word. Five findings per planet, rising in difficulty as you go.

A DAILY PUZZLE FOR EVERYONE
One new language every day, the same for every player, with five tries. Build your streak, protect it with a streak freeze, and share your result as a picture card.

BRAIN TRAINING THAT FEELS LIKE DISCOVERY
The best part of Alien Language is the "aha!": the second the pattern clicks and your answer is inked into the archive with a Deciphered stamp. Every solve exercises pattern recognition, deduction and attention to detail, the same skills behind codebreaking and real linguistics.

FROM FIELD ASSISTANT TO XENOLINGUIST
Score points for accuracy and speed, rise through seven ranks, and collect badges for flawless planets, long streaks and quick solves.
