Games Like Chess Mess

The Chess pieces you know, but with an addictive puzzle-game twist! You must get the highest score possible while also leaving yourself the material to capture the king.

Do I Need To Know Chess?

We hear this question a lot. The answer is simple: no! Chess Mess will teach you everything you need to know with move indicators and our tutorial system.

Puzzle Game Madness

You control both white and black pieces. Each piece moves how you would expect: knights make an L shape, rooks move in straight lines, etc. What's different is the quantity and placement of the pieces. Each level features a board featuring a randomly generated piece layout which pose a progressively harder challenge as you advance through the game.

Meet the Par Score

Each board has a Par Score that needs to be cleared in order to enter the King phase. Clear the Par Score in as few moves as possible for the most bragging rights!

Summon The King

The King will appear on the board after the par score is met--and the King is out for blood! Use your remaining pieces to capture him and put an end to his rampage!

Earn Cards

When you beat a level you earn cards which can buff or nerf (or sometimes both) specific pieces. Cards can stack, too! But watch out for curses, as they can add a serious wrinkle to the gameplay!

Infinite Replayability

Use a seed or start a New Game and discover a unique, procedurally generated set of boards that present their own unique challenges.

Share Boards

Boards are generated based on seeds and these seeds are shareable with your friends. Compare scores and see if you can beat the par score!
