About the game
Finished! is a solitaire puzzle game about surviving a chaotic day at the office by sorting a shuffled deck of 48 numbered cards into order. Across eight rounds, you cycle through a draw stack, using special helper actions -- along with limited coffee and sweets -- to manipulate and rearrange cards in your 'present' area. Successfully sorting all cards from 00:01 to 00:48 means you finish your workday and win; falling short means the chaos of the office got the better of you. Four difficulty levels let players scale the challenge as they master the sorting puzzle. Designer Friedemann Friese wraps up the experience with a short in-game reward for finishing, adding a fun capstone to each session.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editorial team enjoys Finished! as a clever, quirky solo puzzle from a designer known for inventive mechanisms -- sorting cards under constraints feels surprisingly tense for something this compact. The office-day theme is a fun, relatable hook, even if it's mostly a skin over the underlying logic puzzle. As a strictly one-player game, it won't fit every game night, but it's an excellent choice for solo downtime or travel. Four difficulty levels give it solid replay value for puzzle fans wanting an escalating challenge.
What we like
- Clever card-sorting puzzle offers genuine mental challenge in a compact format.
- Four difficulty levels provide strong replayability for solo players.
- Quick setup and 45-minute playtime make it easy to fit into any schedule.
- Charming, quirky office theme adds personality to the puzzle mechanics.
Keep in mind
- Strictly single-player, so it won't work for group game nights.
- Puzzle-focused gameplay may feel repetitive after many sessions.
- Niche appeal limited mostly to fans of solitaire logic games.
Who it's for
Best for solo puzzle-game fans aged 10 and up who enjoy logic and card-sorting challenges.
