WitRally

A daily puzzle for your team chat

WitRally is a two-minute logic puzzle your team can play together from one link. You paste the link in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord or email. Everyone opens it in a browser, solves the same grid for the day, and sees who was fastest. There is nothing to install, no account to create and no workspace admin to ask.

How it works

  1. Start a team. Give it a name and your own name. WitRally takes the team's time zone from your browser, and you can change it later on the team's organizer page. This takes a few seconds.
  2. Paste the team link in your chat. Once is enough. The same link works every day.
  3. Everyone plays the same grid. Each person enters a name for the team the first time, then solves the day's puzzle. The timer starts when they begin.
  4. See the leaderboard. The team page shows today's times and the week's standings. Players can copy a short result line back into the chat.

You choose who gets the link. Anyone who has it can join the team, so share it where your team talks.

What the puzzle is

Each day's puzzle is a grid of squares to fill with dots and rings. Three rules decide the answer: every row and column has as many dots as rings, no three of the same symbol sit in a row or column, and no two rows (or two columns) are identical. Every puzzle has exactly one solution. Monday is the gentlest; Thursday and Friday use a larger 8×8 grid and Friday is the hardest. If you are new to this kind of puzzle, how to solve it step by step walks through the rules.

Why a link instead of an app

Chat apps often need an administrator to approve an install, and small teams do not always have one or want the hassle. A link works anywhere people already talk. The trade-off is that WitRally does not post into your chat by itself: someone shares the link, and players paste back their results if they want to.
