Hi HN! Worked on this side project for a while and wanted to share it. It's free to play.

Cool game, but when I was doing the map game it gave me the same article about 5 times.

It's also not clear if there's a goal in each game. So far as I can tell it goes on forever.

Edit: both the lock and dial game modes put me into the same dial game mode; I'm going to guess it's a bug. They also seem to be for the same article.

Same here! I got the Parthenon five or so times. On the bright side, I know very well now that the Parthenon is not actually in Athens!
