About Enigma

In Enigma, players are exploring an ancient temple, solving different problems to make their way from room to room. Problem solving is done simultaneously in four different categories — tangrams, block-stacking, canal-building and balance problems — and those who succeed expand the temple with the problem tile they solved, thus adding a new chain of rooms inside the temple or extending an existing chain of rooms.
