Meikyu

About Meikyu

Meikyu takes the daily shape of Wordle, six tries and colour feedback, and applies it to a lineup instead of a word. Each floor hides five residents, picked from a roster of thirty-six knights, undead, beasts and treasures, standing in five slots. You choose five pieces from the muster, set them on the field and send them out. The report marks each one: a green ring for the right resident in the right slot, a gold ring for one on this floor but standing elsewhere, and a grey cross for one not on this floor at all. Cracked slots carry into your next sortie.

What sets it apart is that the residents keep house rules the game never states: habits about who will stand beside whom and where. The only evidence is the reports you bring back day after day, and each rule you prove is written into your Dungeon Codex, so later floors fall faster. The Compendium has a dossier for every resident. There is no timer.

There is a new puzzle every day, set at the depth you have reached; first-time players get a gentler floor. Cracking the day's floor lets you descend again, with up to two extra descents and three Training Grounds runs a day on the web. The web version is free with no ads and no account, and plays to floor 19. The iOS app is also free to floor 19, with a one-time Abyss Pass for floor 20 and deeper. The game is in English and thirteen other languages, and was released in July 2026 by kshift.

How to play Meikyu

1. Enter the dungeon and pick five residents from the muster.
2. Set them in the five slots on the field and press Set out.
3. Read the report: a green ring is the right resident in the right slot, a gold ring is on the floor but elsewhere, a grey cross is not on the floor.
4. Keep the cracked slots and rearrange the rest; you have six sorties per floor.
5. Crack the lineup to go one floor deeper, and note any rule you prove in your Dungeon Codex.

Tips

• Use your first sorties to rule residents in or out, not to guess the final order.
• Write down which residents keep appearing together: those patterns are the hidden house rules.
• Read the Compendium dossiers; they hint at each resident's habits without spelling them out.
• Use the Training Grounds runs to test an idea about a rule without spending the day's floor.
