Hi HN,

Android has a lot of developer tools available that can kind of give you super powers.

Dev Quest is a unique puzzle game built exclusively for Android developers -- it can only be solved by the creative use of different developer tools.

It's an idea that I've iterated on for over 5 years, and finally launched today.

It's very challenging even for seasoned devs, so there's a progressive tips & tips tricks guide included to help if you ever get stuck.

I hope people come out the other side feeling like they have super powers as an Android developer, and had fun in the process!

Having lots of fun with this one! Thanks for sharing. Im unsure if i have a setting turned on thats not allowing me to progress in challenge six, after performing the requested action Im given a prompt "answer not detected over this screen". Unsure if i am doing something wrong. Im trying to write as cleary as I can without spoiling for others.

Thank you! :) I know what you are talking about. Make sure you are using a developer tool to solve that puzzle. If you are doing it without a developer tool, it won't work. If you're still stuck, the tips guide will help.
