A long way up

Trailbrained is a free daily trivia adventure about finding unexpected objects that solve fictional survival puzzles.

Public beta

Seven questions per day, 45 seconds per question. The beta rotates six authored question sets while more are developed. New days begin at midnight in America/Denver; the public archive begins 2026-11-04. Scores reflect authored cleverness tiers, not measured answer popularity. Report comparisons use simulated runs, not real players.

Your progress

Runs, coins, cosmetics, settings and the latest 500 submitted guesses save in this browser. There is no game account or cross-device sync. Clearing browser data, changing browsers or switching website addresses can make a different save appear. Keep using the same address to keep your progress.

The game does not send answers or saves to a game server and does not include advertising or analytics scripts. Hosting providers may process ordinary website request data. The optional guess notebook is stored locally; you choose whether to copy and share it.

Coins and crates

Start with 100 coins and the basic outfit. Earn 25–200 coins once per completed date. Practice adds no coins. Coins have no cash value, and there are no real-money purchases. Crates award one eligible unowned cosmetic; their pool and chances are shown in the shop.

Audio credits

Woodland chirps use Ambient Bird Sounds by isaiah658. Night crickets use Crickets Ambient Noise — loopable by Wolfgang_ (Ted Kerr). Both source pages list CC0 1.0. Recordings have been edited for looping and volume. Other effects and pixel scenery are generated by the game.

Comfort

Settings include separate sound levels and gentle motion. You can also open crates gently. These are fictional game scenarios, not survival instructions.
