The LuckyPunk Arcade
Think it through.
Two different challenges, no countdown. Build room for your next move in Stack Job, or work out a daily board in Stakeout. These guides are open to everyone, without an account.
Earned XP and whole Tickets unlock private-vault cosmetics. They cannot be cashed out and do not buy better hunt odds. Features and progress may change.
Stack Job: make room, not haste
Fit three offered shapes onto an 8×8 board, in the order you choose. Complete a row or column to clear it. There is no rotation, so leaving a broad empty space matters more than finding somewhere to squeeze one piece.
Choose Endless for an ongoing saved run or Daily for the UTC day's shared seed and piece sequence. Runs end when none of your offered pieces fits. Drag a piece onto the board, or use tap placement if that is more comfortable. One undo lets you correct a placement, not reroll the tray.
Stakeout: every placement has consequences
Find six lookout positions on a 6×6 board. Every row, column and lettered zone needs one lookout, and none may touch, even at a corner. A cell that looks possible locally can still leave another zone with no solution.
Start in Learn with six guided exercises and two blank practice boards. Then try the current UTC-day puzzle, or practise on an older board in the archive. Pencil marks track deductions; undo and reset let you revisit your reasoning. Touch controls and keyboard arrow keys are supported.
Which should you try first?
Choose Stack Job if you enjoy shaping space and improving a score over a series of moves. Look at all three pieces before committing, and keep room for the shape with the fewest possible homes.
Choose Stakeout if you prefer a finite problem with a solution reached by elimination. After placing a lookout, mark its row, column, zone and touching neighbours before searching for the next forced cell.
Both games save progress so you can take a break. Optional haptics depend on your device and settings. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.
Other Arcade prototypes
Loot Sort, Signal Scramble, Vault Shift and Safecracker are also available inside Arcade as earlier prototypes. Their controls, balance and presentation are still being developed. Their rewards are separate from the two newer games; the complete game guide explains the current rules. They are not being presented as finished games.
Rewards and account questions
Do these games cost anything?
No. There is no paid entry, real-money purchase or cash withdrawal in this preview. The hunt's displayed money is simulated.
Does every attempt earn Tickets?
No. Stack Job rewards an eligible finished run with at least eight placements, subject to per-run and daily limits. Stakeout awards 50 cosmetic XP and five whole Tickets only for the first successful completion of the current UTC-day board. Learn, practice, archive and repeat completions do not earn Stakeout daily rewards. The individual guides give the exact rules.
Where do I play?
Open LuckyPunk, complete the age check and current participation notices, then select Arcade in the bottom navigation. Reading these pages does not create a game account. An under-13 answer creates no account.
