A warm, cross-generational daily puzzle club for iOS, iPadOS, Android, tablets, and the web.
In development
Kitchen Table combines three calm daily rituals — Crossings, Patience Plus and Recipe Box — with a private Family Table. There are no ads, public leaderboards, open chat rooms, paid hints, or ‘brain age’ claims: the product is built around dignity, print-quality editing, accessible play, and a family connection that never demands an immediate reply.

The core loop
Each day at 5:00 AM local time three puzzles arrive as items on a breakfast table: Crossings (a folded newspaper), Patience Plus (a deck of cards) and Recipe Box (a recipe box). Play any or all in any order with optional free private nudges; each completion flips its item to a stamped done state, any one completion participates in the table’s day, and all three produce a private bundle finish and the stopping message ‘That’s today’s table. See you tomorrow.’
Features
- Crossings: a compact crossword variant on a 9×9 grid (11×11 Sunday) with 180-degree rotational symmetry
- Patience Plus: standard draw-one Klondike on 52 cards with a three-card face-up Pantry, unlimited stock passes
- Recipe Box: a three-phase market/steps/finale puzzle built from a genuine kitchen-tested recipe
- Family Table: one private table of up to eight known relatives, invites by SMS, email, QR
- Binding anti-dark-pattern policy: no ads, no energy systems, no appointment mechanics, no FOMO, no loss-framing notifications
Direction
‘The Sunday Paper on a Wooden Table’. Warm, print-inspired and ruthlessly legible — print sensibility rendered flatly and cleanly with generous margins, ink-on-paper contrast, and letterpress-adjacent texture used at whisper volume, not skeuomorphic kitsch.
Who it is for. Puzzle-loving adults 55+ and the family who loves them, with four named personas: Ruth (72, puzzle regular), Maya (17, invited relative), Chris (46, family organizer) and Elena (63, food-motivated collector).
