The Ephemera

Welcome to The Ephemera, a hotel that lives only in your imagination. The Ephemera is a solo puzzle game where you navigate a maze that appears like magic as you play.

The Ephemera's rooms are arranged in a 4x4x4 cube. Each room has a 3-digit room number indicating its location. Rooms are considered adjacent if two digits match and the other digit is higher or lower by one.

However, you are only allowed to enter rooms that the two included keycards can open! To check, place both keycards down on the table with either card slightly overlapping the other, so a 3-digit room number shows along the top. If you can't make the desired number, you can't enter the room (e.g. 333).

Setup: Find paper and a pen. Choose start and destination rooms from the list of levels provided.

Gameplay: Write down room numbers, each adjacent to the last, until you reach your destination. Be sure to use these keycards to open each room.

There is a path between any two rooms, but it may not be obvious. If you get stuck, draw yourself a map.
