## Description

CIPHER DETECTIVE — a word puzzle, brain game, and cipher decoding game<br>all in one. Solve word puzzles hidden behind secret codes, train your<br>brain with logic puzzles, and crack cases as a detective — completely<br>free to play, fully offline, no account needed.<br><br>Every case hides a real word behind a numeric checksum — trace the<br>letters, watch the running total build tile by tile, and verify both<br>the password AND the key before the case closes.<br><br>STORY MODE<br>100 hand-tuned cases across five ranks, from Rookie to Master Cryptanalyst.<br>Each rank introduces exactly one new twist to the checksum — a shifted<br>alphabet, an alternating sign, a per-row shift, a multiply modifier — so the<br>difficulty always climbs one idea at a time, never all at once, like a true<br>brain teaser should. Evidence text gives you an honest, riddle-style lead<br>toward the answer, but a planted rival word means you can&#39;t just guess —<br>you have to actually trace the grid to be sure.<br><br>TIME ATTACK<br>An endless run against a single countdown clock. This is the word finder<br>half of the game: find real words on a freshly generated grid as fast as<br>you can — solving one buys you more time and pushes the difficulty up a<br>notch every ten cases. No shifting ciphers here, just speed and sharp<br>eyes. Out of time? Watch a quick ad to keep the run going.<br><br>REAL CIPHER<br>Once you&#39;ve closed all 100 story cases, a second specialty unlocks: five<br>classic ciphers (Caesar shift, Atbash, a repeating key, reverse-and-shift,<br>and a hidden-shift finale) with no grid to trace — just type your decoded<br>answer on the keyboard like a real code breaker. This is the pure decoding<br>half of the detective&#39;s job, with hints available if you get stuck.<br><br>FEATURES<br>- 100 story cases, procedurally-escalating Time Attack, and 50 classic<br>  cipher cases — three different ways to test the same two skills: words<br>  and numbers.<br>- An offline puzzle game through and through — no wifi needed, ever.<br>- Built-in tutorials the first time any new mechanic shows up — nothing<br>  to look up outside the app.<br>- English and Bahasa Indonesia, switchable anytime in Settings.<br>- No account, no sign-in, fully playable offline, free to download.<br><br>Think you&#39;ve got what it takes to make Master Cryptanalyst?
