The Tesseract appeared in our skies six days ago. Together, our world’s best minds must find a way to contain and control the reactions of this extra-dimensional avatar, or its exponentially increasing destructive power will tear a hole in space-time and remove our world from existence.

The game features a cube of 64 dice, sitting on a rotating platform to examine all angles. Players will use three actions to manipulate the cubes; removing them from the Tesseract, adjusting their values, transferring them between labs and isolating them into the Containment matrix.

Allow too many breaches or remove the last cube from the Tesseract, and the game is lost. Fill the matrix with 24 cubes, one of each colored value, and you save our world.

   Player abilities are optimized through the help of others.

Thomas ★★★★★

Played this with three friends last night and we lost on the final turn, then immediately reset for another round. The way each player's specialist ability forces everyone to coordinate before anything moves is what kept us talking. Genuinely tense co-op, no quarterbacking problem so far.

Joshua ★★★★★

The six-day countdown mechanic creates real tension — my group spent twenty minutes arguing over one reaction tile while the avatar track crept closer to the edge. We lost our first two games badly, then finally contained it on the third, and everyone immediately wanted a rematch.

Grace ★★★★★

I’ve played dozens of co-op games, but the escalating reaction mechanic here genuinely makes every turn feel like a race against the clock. The way the puzzle layers build on each other kept our group fully engaged for hours. Even when we lost, we immediately wanted to reset and try a different stra
