Crypt is a puzzle game where you have to guess and uncover 20 themed words arranged in a criss-cross formation over the faces of a three-dimensional cube. A mascot, The Wuzzle, guides you through your progress as you try to solve the puzzle.
The gameplay involves uncovering the words, which can result in either bonus points or penalties. For each word uncovered, you'll receive a response that tells you whether it's correct or not. If you're unsure of a letter, you have to guess it - if you're right, you get 10 points and another turn; if wrong, you lose 5 points and your turn is over.
Crypt also features bonus squares that allow you to pick an extra square on the current cube-side or one on another side. This adds a layer of strategy to the game, as you'll need to weigh the risks and rewards of using these bonus squares.
