Description

In the distant future, a mysterious bioweapon called Downez that started as a malicious computer virus, achieved sentience and annihilated most of human civilization!! Bummer.. though a few techno-radical groups had foreseen this, for they developed GridL, a super-computer program which tried to preserve as much life as possible by storing them as advanced code on an infinite grid. It's goal was to mimic natural selection and restart life, once conditions were favorable in the outside world.

Luckily, you are one of the few humans who were saved by GridL. Now locked permanently inside the program since ages, you must try to get out by passing the GridL Test - a bizarre game that will decide if you are worthy enough to survive outside! GridL will assay your decoding and communication strengths - are you smart enough to work as a team, and qualify for the same?

In the game of GridL, two teams must successfully transmit finite solutions coded on a 5x5 Grid, to their teammates. The catch - each axis of the grid gets a random generated word, and communication limiters force players to use restricted word clues connecting these two words! Teams hope to cross the barrier of 12 points before the opponent team to pass the GridL test and win the game!

In a 2-3 player variant, all players work together as a team and try to gather enough points before specific number of turns! In an advanced variant, teams can choose some mini programs (12 in number) - powers designed to help teams optimize their scores if timed and played strategically!
