Turing Machine solidifies Scorpion Masqué’s expertise in the deduction genre, 4 years after the hugely successful release of Decrypto, with over 300,000 copies sold across more than 45 countries.

According to Christian Lemay, founder of Scorpion Masqué, “Turing Machine instantly hooked me. First, with its unique material and original theme. It’s almost like magic! But beyond this technological prowess is a real deduction game that provides a unique challenge for all lovers of logic games: there are more than 7 million problems to solve! Rarely does a game require us to work so hard to make it accessible, but I couldn’t be prouder of the final product.”

Watch the 2-minute clip above to get an overview of the gameplay and components!

Highlights:

  • TEST YOUR HYPOTHESIS: Create a 3 digit code by stacking punch cards, then ask the analog artificial intelligence computers - each with a different logic puzzle - to check your answer.
  • DEDUCE THE SECRET CODE: Each logic question will bring you closer to the secret code, either through the process of elimination or relations between numbers.
  • PLAY AS A TEAM OR SOLO: Including the original competitive mode, you can combine your brain power as a team or try to beat the game itself while playing solo.
  • NOVEL COMPONENTS: Overlay punchcards to test your secret code against the artificial intelligence computers, reminiscent of computers from the 1970s.
  • 7 MILLION COMBINATIONS: On the companion website (coming soon!), find over 7,000,000 different setup combinations, making the gameplay practically endless!
