Find the hidden X.

Each scan gives you a direction and distance. Use the clues to shrink the search area before you run out.

SCAN. DEDUCE. DISCOVER.

Every clue narrows the map.

XY is a spatial deduction game built around coordinates without the algebra homework. Each scan gives you a compass direction and grid distance; combine the clues in your head and commit to the coordinate where they intersect.

The rules

Choose a coordinate to scan. The game reports the direction and distance to the hidden point; combine successive clues to eliminate locations and make the final find.

What makes it different

The required demonstration teaches the coordinate idea with visible possibilities, while real rounds remove those highlights and leave the deduction to you.

TRAINING HUNT

Learn by finding one X.

First, scan coordinate X 1, Y 4.

Your clue will appear here.

Glowing squares are shown in training only. Real hunts never reveal possible answers.

 HOW TO PLAY

Three ideas. No formulas.

  1. 01
    Scan a square

    Choose any coordinate on the map.

  2. 02
    Read the clue

    “North-east · 4 steps” means the treasure is above, to the right, and four grid moves away.

  3. 03
    Combine your clues

    Each scan rules out more coordinates. Find where every direction and distance intersects.
