A daily puzzle about folding paper

Crease turns paper folding into arithmetic. Every day there is one new strip of numbers and one target to hit. The numbers you fold on top of each other add together, so each fold both shortens the strip and builds bigger totals. Hitting the target takes a mix of counting and planning ahead.

Questions

What is Crease?

Crease is a free daily puzzle game. You get a strip of numbered cells and a target strip. You fold the strip at the creases between cells, the shorter side flips over the longer side, and numbers that land on each other add up. Match the target using exactly the folds you are given.

When does the new puzzle appear?

At midnight in your own time zone. Everyone gets the same puzzle for the same calendar date, so you can compare results with friends.

How hard is it?

It scales through the week. Mondays and Tuesdays need 2 folds, midweek puzzles need 3, and Saturdays and Sundays need 4. Every puzzle is checked by a solver, so each one is solvable in exactly the stated number of folds.

Can I play past puzzles?

Yes. The archive has every past puzzle. Archive plays do not count toward your daily streak. There is also an endless Practice mode with three difficulty levels.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Open Crease in your phone browser and use Add to Home Screen. After the first visit it runs without a connection.

Is there a trick to solving it?

Several. Start with the length budget: each fold removes as many cells as the shorter side has. The Strategy page walks through the best tricks with examples.
