Field notes
The app's score is counted in fathoms: each of three increasingly revealing hints and each wrong guess adds one, while non-answers cost nothing. The site says a lamp tracks nights played but does not penalize missed nights; players can also compare scores with a friend without exposing answers. Its contents are grouped into seven named worlds, including Murder and Madness, Deep Poe, and Voyages and Strange Worlds.
