ERETHEN is a daily history puzzle. The website and the mobile apps are made by Overstreet Games, a veteran-owned studio founded by David Overstreet (Hyattsville, Maryland). Contact: hello@overstreetgames.com. More games: overstreetgames.com.
The game does not have accounts, ads, analytics, crash reporters, or trackers. It does not ask for your email, location, contacts, photos, or payment information, and it does not use a real-name login.
If you choose to post to the public standings, we store:
We briefly process your IP address to rate-limit abuse. It is kept only as a short-lived hash in a rate-limit window and is not stored with your nickname or scores.
Your theme preference, whether you have seen the how-to, the state of puzzles you have played, your private streak and stats, your nickname (if you picked one), and the local copy of your device id are saved on your device (in the browser’s local storage, or the app’s equivalent). Clearing the site’s data, or uninstalling the app, removes that local copy. It does not automatically delete a standings entry already posted to our server — use the button below, or Standings in the game, for that.
The website loads the daily catalog from this site. The mobile apps ship the catalog inside the app and can be played fully offline. If you post to the standings or open the boards, the app or site calls https://erethen.pages.dev/api. If you tap a source link on the reveal screen, your device’s browser opens that publisher’s page. If you share a result, the system share sheet sends only the spoiler-free text you chose to share, to the app you pick.
You can delete the nickname and official scores stored for this device at any time. This cannot be undone.
The game is not directed at children under 13. Do not include a real name or other personal information in a nickname. The standings are public.
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
