Attention, humans: four puzzles have landed.
Area 13 is a free collection of daily puzzle games from 13Beacons. Everyone gets the same puzzles, and new ones touch down every midnight Pacific time. Each game opens with a quick how-to the first time you play.
NIGHT SIGNAL
Decode one five-letter transmission in six attempts. Tiles flip to show which letters are in the word and which are in the right spot. Answers come from aliens, monsters, ghosts, cryptids, folklore and the strange edges of space, and every reveal ends with a short field note.
FLIGHT PATH
Fly one route through the numbered beacons in order, covering every square. Dark sky opens onto stars as you go, and the landing pad stays locked until every square is flown. Grids grow from 5×5 on Monday to 7×7 on the weekend.
CROP CIRCLES
Land one saucer in every row, every column and every colored field, with no two touching, not even corner to corner. Every farm has exactly one answer you can find without guessing. When you crack it, the saucers lift off and leave glowing crop circles behind.
REDACTED
Today's classified file hides a handful of themed words that fill the whole grid: cryptids, UFO sightings, haunted houses, witchcraft and more. Trace each one through touching letters to lift its redaction. Every letter belongs to exactly one word.
