Turn the cave. Find a way home.

Deep beneath the mountain, the way out is yours to build. CAVERN: The Shifting Depths is a cooperative puzzle card game for 1–4 players aged 10+, combining cave exploration with the satisfaction of solving a shifting spatial puzzle.

Twist chambers, shift rows and lift columns to transform a nine-card cave. Your mission: connect the entrance, required rooms and exit, while keeping forbidden rooms outside the connected network. Every move costs torchlight, so think ahead and make each move count!

Explore 24 expeditions across four cave regions, from the Outer Grotto and Crystal Galleries to the Drowned Halls and Guardian Depths. As you venture deeper, matching gate symbols and more demanding objectives add new challenges.

Choose your adventure

• Play solo or cooperate: tackle the puzzles yourself or discuss your next move with family and friends.
