六艺中文填字

Game premise and mechanics

六艺中文填字 is a puzzle game that combines traditional Chinese crossword gameplay with a focus on cultural knowledge and aesthetic design. Players solve a variety of crosswords based on themes derived from the "Six Arts," which were essential skills for ancient Chinese gentlemen. The game offers challenges through its structure, including at least three crossword puzzles in each section, leading to a final, more difficult challenge after completing the first six sections.

Themes and content

The game is organized around six major themes: 礼 (ritual), 乐 (music), 射 (archery), 御 (charioteering), 书 (literature), and 数 (mathematics). It includes a wide range of topics, covering 36 distinct subjects that draw from history, geography, literature, and contemporary culture, making it a broad knowledge base for players.
