v1.19.0 - Community Puzzles in 12 Languages

v1.19.0

All 418 published community puzzles are now available across 12 languages, with automatic translation for future submissions.

2026/08/17

Every published community puzzle is now available in all 12 languages supported by YesNoMystery.

Those languages are English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Thai.

We completed 4,598 translated versions for the 418 community puzzles already online. Each puzzle keeps one stable slug, so changing the language in the URL opens the matching version of the same mystery rather than creating a duplicate puzzle.

New Submissions Are Translated Automatically

After a new puzzle passes review, its original-language version goes live immediately. The other 11 supported languages are translated automatically, starting with the first language versions right after publication.

A daily catch-up run starts at 02:35 China Standard Time to retry interrupted work and complete the remaining languages. Most language versions should be ready within 24 hours.

Only translations that pass both structure and meaning checks are published. Pending or failed versions stay hidden instead of showing text from the wrong language.

Better Multilingual Discovery

Each available language version now has its own canonical URL and links back to the other translations with the correct hreflang metadata. This helps players and search engines find the right language while keeping ratings, progress, comments, and sharing attached to the same puzzle.

v1.18.0 - 1,140 Puzzles Are Now Live

v1.18.0

317 new lateral thinking puzzles, complete across 12 languages, with duplicate stories removed and legacy links preserved.

2026/08/09

This release brings a major expansion to the official puzzle library.

The new collection draws from multilingual puzzles on YesNoGame and a personally curated set of lateral thinking mysteries. We began with 322 candidates, then compared them against the existing library and one another. After reviewing matching scenarios, solutions, and central twists, we removed five new puzzles that were too close to stories already in the collection.

That leaves 317 new puzzles and brings the official library from 827 to 1,140.

Every New Puzzle Is Ready to Play

Each new puzzle includes a scenario, a full solution, an investigation question, and progressive clues. You can work toward the answer through questions first, then unlock a clue when you need a nudge.

Available in 12 Languages

The full collection is now available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Thai. We checked every locale for puzzle counts, clue weights, and complete solution structures.

A Cleaner Library with Working Legacy Links

We also reviewed the existing collection and merged four older duplicate puzzles. Their previous URLs now redirect permanently to the retained versions, so links that players have already shared will keep working.

All 1,140 puzzles are live now.

We hope your next mystery is a good one.

v1.17.0 - Puzzle Quality Update

v1.17.0

A systematic review of 256 Chinese puzzles, with major corrections synchronized across 11 additional locales.

This update does not change game rules, puzzle counts, or player progress.

v1.16.0 - Safer Progress, Better Reliability

v1.16.0

Server-backed puzzle progress, stronger account and credit protection, production error monitoring, faster puzzle pages, and the Xu Ermu collection.

The conversation system has been rebuilt around a shared AI foundation, making provider switching, structured answers, and failure recovery more consistent.

  • Support for partially correct answers
  • Better timeout handling and clearer host waiting messages
  • More useful diagnostics when an answer cannot be generated
  • Unified answer types across the game

Daily Free Credits

Free credits now refresh daily instead of accumulating indefinitely. Anonymous credit creation and redemption were also hardened against duplicate or concurrent grants.

  • Puzzle statistics and local play-data synchronization
  • Improved first-page rendering for puzzle lists
  • Corrected structured data and split sitemaps for better indexing
  • Static image delivery moved to a dedicated CDN for faster loading

This release strengthens the foundations behind conversations, credits, creation, and puzzle discovery.

v1.14.0 - Faster, More Reliable Play

v1.14.0

A more reliable AI host, smoother UGC creation, clearer content attribution, and a refined dark interface across desktop and mobile.

2025/12/22

A More Reliable AI Host

The host can now race multiple response channels and recover from malformed responses more reliably. Waiting states have also been redesigned so longer answers feel predictable instead of frozen.

  • Faster recovery when one AI channel times out or returns an invalid response
  • Clearer progress and waiting stages during puzzle conversations
  • More consistent yes, no, and unknown judgments

Smoother Community Puzzle Creation

Community puzzle creation is now easier to follow from draft to submission.

  • Smarter progress feedback and estimated waiting time
  • Fixes for drafts getting stuck or disappearing after a refresh

Your Creativity, Our Platform - v1.12.0 Makes Everyone a Puzzle Creator! 🎭

v1.11.0 - Clue System Revamp, Smoother AI Conversations

v1.11.0

New investigation questions replace old hints, typewriter effect for AI replies, significantly faster response times, more immersive gameplay.

2025/10/19

🔍 Major Clue System Overhaul!

We've completely redesigned the clue system to make solving puzzles feel more like being a real detective!

📋 New "Investigation Questions" System

  • From Hints to Questions - Instead of giving you direct hints, we now show you "questions worth investigating"
  • Progressive Unlocking - Purchased clues reveal key investigation directions, guiding your thinking rather than spoiling the answer
  • More Immersive - Like a real detective, you'll approach the truth step by step through investigation questions
  • Fairer Pricing - Prices vary based on question importance: basic questions are cheaper, key questions cost more

💡 Why This Change?

The old "hints" system was too direct—sometimes a single hint would give away the solution. The new investigation questions system keeps you thinking and enjoying the reasoning process, rather than passively receiving answers.

⌨️ AI Replies Feel More Natural

🎬 Typewriter Effect Now Live

  • Character by Character - AI replies appear one character at a time, like typing, instead of appearing all at once

⚡ Significantly Faster Response Times

  • Multi-Channel Racing - Requests sent to multiple AI services simultaneously, using whichever responds first
  • Smart Switching - If one channel slows down, automatically switches to a faster one
  • Better Stability - Even if one service has temporary issues, your game continues uninterrupted

🎯 Cleaner Game Interface

📊 Simplified Progress Bar

  • No More Fluff - Removed encouraging phrases like "You're doing great!", now showing only key information
  • Show Next Step - Progress bar directly displays "Next question to investigate", helping you know where to focus
  • Question Counter - Clearly shows how many questions you've asked
