Description
Perquackey is the classic frantic word dice game where you race against time to complete word sets. Enjoy this game properly modernized and accessible anywhere.
HOW IT PLAYS
- Roll ten dice. Build as many words as you can before the timer hits zero. Longer words score more. Fill all five slots in a word-length group for cumulative bonuses. Complete two adjacent lengths for stacking bonuses. Simple to learn, exciting to come back to again and again.
- Hit 2,000 points and the board shifts. Three red dice join your pool, three-letter words stop counting, and you MUST score
500 or lose 500 points.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• CLASSIC — Turn-based, 1 to 4 players, pass-and-play. First to 5,000 wins (**Note - one-time payment required to unlock permanently for unlimited plays)

What's new (v1.2)
Perquackey 1.2
New
- Resume a game in progress right from the main menu — it now shows which mode you're returning to and how far along you are.
- Statistics, rebuilt — per-mode records, your average points per turn, and a chart of your Daily Challenge scores over time.
- Daily Challenge upgrades — see your global rank without leaving the game, jump straight to the leaderboard, and share your result as a colorful emoji grid. Turn on an optional evening reminder so you never break a streak.
- "So Close" — after each round, Word Analysis now highlights the words you were just one letter away from.
- Pick your red dice — choose the Classic 1956 or modern Cardinal edition in Settings.
