Strataverdict: Inquest

About Strataverdict: Inquest

Strataverdict is a quick ordering puzzle about how an archaeological trench builds up over time. Five excavation contexts appear as cards in a shuffled stack: the natural ground, a cut, its fill, a floor, and a collapse layer. Tap them in the order they formed, earliest first.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Read the five context cards: NATURAL, CUT 104, FILL 103, FLOOR 102 and COLLAPSE 101.
- Tap the earliest context first, then each later one. A correct card slides aside.
- A wrong tap flashes red, breaks your chain and costs one of your three lives.
- Correct taps in a row build a chain multiplier for a higher score.
- Place the trial's target number of contexts to move on. Early trials ask for four, later trials for all five.

CAMPAIGN
- 60 trials. Every trial uses the same five contexts, dealt in a different shuffled order generated from the trial number.
- The campaign map lets you jump to any trial and shows the stars and best score you have earned. Progress stays on your device.

DAILY AND LAB
- Daily: each date selects one campaign trial for everyone, worked out on your device without an account or server.
- Harris Matrix Desk: a small practice panel with two sliders and a contradiction switch that shows how sequence support and context agreement change a confidence score.

ALSO INCLUDED
- Five on-device achievements and a player records page.
- Haptic feedback switch.
- Works offline on iPhone and iPad.
- No ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, accounts, analytics or tracking.

Strataverdict is a casual puzzle game and not a reference for real excavation recording.
