Adrift: A Puzzletale

About this board game

Adrift: A Puzzletale is a 2022 puzzle game for 1–4 players, offering a 180-minute journey into an ethereal world of dreams, mysterious messages, and strange discoveries.

Players take on the role of an expert dream interpreter, helping someone understand the significance of messages received through their subconscious. To uncover the meaning behind these messages, you will solve your way through unusual writings, beautiful illustrations, and physical artifacts.

The game is divided into four parts, and these sections can be completed in any order. Each part represents a different elemental spirit:

• Sky
• Earth
• Water
• Forest

Every section contains three sequential puzzles. These puzzles are presented through a combination of poems, an illustrated poster, and a physical item that must be assembled. Solving the puzzles and putting the item together leads to a solution phrase for that section.

With its blend of literary clues, visual material, and hands-on construction, Adrift: A Puzzletale offers a distinctive puzzling experience built around interpretation and discovery. Explore the four elemental spirits in the order you choose, follow each sequence of interconnected challenges, and piece together the messages hidden within this mysterious dream world.
