Four buried Star Stones
You and your team of fellow spelunkers stumble upon Arrow Caverns: a cave network which hides four priceless Star Stones. Suddenly, an earthquake strikes, causing the cave to become unstable! But, in an effort to rescue the Star Stones, you and your team decide to enter.
A cave collapsing
Although the earthquake blocked some paths, if you plan your team’s route carefully, they can still excavate the caverns where the Star Stones lie. However, if they linger in an unstable cavern, the whole cave will collapse! Can you plan their path to find the Star Stones, and escape the cave in time?
Replayable puzzles with chess-like gambles
Explore.
Follow the arrows to move through the cave. Search for the Star Stones, but flee from unstable caverns.
Excavate.
Rotate the caverns, and flip them over. Plan carefully; once flipped over, they can’t be moved!
Escape.
Collect all four Star Stones, then run back to daylight. When the 7th turn ends, the cave will collapse!
Meet the spelunkers
Four cavers, each named for a mineral the colour of their gear.
Vivian
Vivianite is colourless underground — it only turns deep blue once light and air reach it. A mineral that changes when it escapes.
Jasper
Jasper gets its red from iron, and breaks with an edge sharp enough that Stone Age toolmakers knapped it into blades.
Jade
Jade is two different minerals sharing one name, and its interlocking crystals make it so hard to shatter that early smiths used it as an anvil.
Amber
Amber is tree resin fossilised for millions of years, sometimes with insects inside. Rub it and it crackles — the Greek word for it, elektron, gave us “electricity.”
