About Scramble

In one sentence

Scramble is a word-building roguelike for iPhone and iPad: spell words from nine letter tiles, outwit 16 eccentric librarians and put the stories of the Great Library back together.

Longer

One stormy night, a spell went wrong and every book in the Great Library spilled its letters across the floors. Wren, the Head Librarian, needs an apprentice. Players spell words from nine letter tiles to reach a target score before their words run out, then climb the library floor by floor, one chapter at a time.

Every floor ends with a librarian who guards their shelf with a strange rule: the Haiku allows a single word, the Moths eat tiles, the Library Cat naps on letters and won't move. Between chapters, players borrow tomes from the Circulation Desk that change how words score, so every run builds a different strategy.

Beyond the climb there's a Daily Scramble with the same letters for everyone, a Time Trial, turn-based Time Duels and live Word Battles through Game Center, where both players get the same letters and every word tears pages out of the other's book.
