Spatial Reasoning Challenge
Inspired by Chinese wood joining, 5th Invention is a straightforward game that requires players to solve puzzles using spatial reasoning. Players need to examine wood joint blueprints and craft the pieces of wood using simple on-screen commands, such as tapping and removing, etc., to conjoin the pieces and solve the puzzle.

Learn through Play
Blueprints for wooden joints from the missions are saved on the “Museum” interface. Players can freely dismantle each joint and enjoy a 360 view to showcase the secrets behind wood joinery, sharing the history of Chinese culture.

Unleash Your Imagination
